Ebonics


INTRODUCTION

This is an English exam paper prepared for the EVU2-EDB course at
Niuernermik Ilinniarfik, Nuuk.

The main topic of this paper is the USA, and I have chosen to concentrate on a
fairly new issue, the language know as Ebonics. There have always been changes
in the English language. This is how the language came about and evolved from
standard British English to American English.

During the last few years, as the world has become more sensitive to the rights
of minorities, women, animals, etc. a new form of changes has taken place. These
changes have become known as Political Correctness.

Ebonics is the political correct version of Afro-American English. I intend to
show that – and comment on how – racialism and competition affects a society and
how this, in the case of Ebonics, is actually happening in today's America.
