Creolist_Theory

Creolist Theory Origins of AAVE Four ideas have surfaced regarding the origins of AAVE. These hypotheses include Africanist, Creolist, English Dialect, and Divergence. Each of these hypotheses has supporting evidence. However, some find the supporting evidence arguable. The Africanist, Creolist, and English Dialect hypothesis were all created by the different viewpoints of speakers of AAVE. These people find it difficult to settle on hypotheses for the mere reason that the place of origin could come from a broad range of places. Each hypothesis has evidence against the supporting ideas. All of these hypotheses could very well be valid, but fallacy can be found in dealing with each one. The Africanist hypothesis deals with the languages of Africa. In West African countries, the language does not usually use consonant clusters. The sound of /st/ and /th/ are not heard in the African language. This pronunciation form is also seen in AAVE. In the pronunciation of “just” and “test” AAVE speakers say “jus” and “tes.” The use of double subjects is also seen in both AAVE and African grammar rules.
