The biggest difference is that of the sound th, in Ebonics the th sound is d. So words like “those” are pronounced “dose”.
PASSAGE ANALYSIS TIPS (Some ideas based on comments by Alan Buster, AP English Consultant) Passage analysis questions on the AP exam often suggest which stylistic terms the writer should address. Even when the questions mention no stylistic terms, it is wise to include references to diction, syntax, figures of speech, and tone. Students should pay particular attention to the main verbs in the question: verbs like “characterize” and “analyze” call for the writer to emphasize style with appropriate terms. When analyzing diction, consider such questions as: Is the language concrete or abstract, verbs active or passive? Are the words monosyllabic or polysyllabic?
Language Paper Lisa Draxler PSY/360 February 7, 2011 E.W.Newlin Abstract The primary focus of this paper is language and how it relates to cognition. This paper will define language and lexicon and provide the similarities and differences of each. This paper will evaluate the key features of language, describe the four levels of language structure and processing, and analyze the role of language processing in cognitive psychology.

Following these sounds being blended together, an individual must heed to rules; for example, there are several consonants sounds which require a form by the atmosphere existing in an individual’s vocal cord stop consonants. Thirdly, the level of sentences in the English language. In the English language of sentences, there are several rules that apply to the construction of a sentence. In spite of the fact of sentence construction has been proven to be combined, and is important to the English language for the reason that rules are carried out and sometimes causes common mistakes such as word sentences that are run-ons. The fourth and last level relates to text in the English language, for the most part texting is related to a psychologist as nothing more than a group of related words linked to form of paragraph.
“Appropriation study of texts is interesting because the changing values and attitudes of particular time periods can be observed.” Evaluate this opinion in relation to the Jane Austen’s novel, Emma, and Amy Heckerling’s film, Clueless. In your response make detailed references to both texts. 3. In comparing your TWO texts you will have become aware of how the contexts of the texts have shaped their form and meaning. Of more interest, perhaps, is a comparison of the values associated with each text.

1. How do Eckert & McConnell-Ginet define the phonological level of language? What is an example of a phonological feature that we generally think of as (perhaps stereotypically) signifying a particular gendered way of speaking?

A descriptive grammar looks at the way a language is actually used by its speakers and then attempts to analyse it and formulate rules about the structure. Descriptive grammar does not deal with what is good or bad language use; forms and structures that might not be used by speakers of Standard English would be regarded as valid and included. It is a grammar based on the way a language actually is and not how some think it should be. 18. What is the difference between form and function in a sentence?
