The History & Development Of Ebonics

Abstract: A 10 page paper in which the author discusses that one of the hottest controversies in the educational world today is the issue of Ebonics, also known as black English. Critics contend it is merely English slang that has become too far out of control, while proponents say it is truly a language unto itself that was brought over long ago from Africa. Much to the chagrin of many, some school districts have now implemented Ebonics as a language course. The writer discusses the basis of Ebonics and the controversial issues that surround it. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
