The author questions the advantage of standard American English as opposed to other types of English. He refers to those aspect as code switching, which he believes can lead to racist thinking. Code switching, according to Young, calls out for one way of speaking to be omitted in favor of others, based on one's rhetorical situations.

    As a result of many negative stereotypes associated with certain variations of English many students have adapted codeswitching. When this concept came up in the book it made me think about my own language. I realized that I code switch quite often between what is seen as Standard English and African American English or Ebonics. Usually with family or other friends that speak Ebonics I use that Ebonics to communicate, but when I am in school, in a

  • The History Of Ebonics, Or American Black English

    1285 Words  | 3 Pages

    Fifth graders do not speak Ebonics, they just simply have not learned how to speak proper English yet. So, when many African Americans hear other African Americans speaking Standard English, they start to make fun of them and say that they are “talking white” or “acting like a white person”. It might have less to do with his/her speaking and more to do with the setting that he/she is in. I believe that if a student is in school, or a professional setting, they should speak Standard English and leave the Ebonics or the vernacular English for places like home, or informal conversations with their friends. Although some people have the ability to code-switch, others do not. However, because they are not able to speak Standard English all the time, should they be made fun of or should they be called dumb? I think the answer is of course not. Nobel Prize winning journalist Toni Morrison made an incredible and deep remark in an interview in the New Republic on March 21, 1981. “There are certain things I cannot say without recourse to my AAVE (African American Vernacular English) language. It’s terrible to think that a child with five different languages comes to school to be faced with books that are less than his own

    There are benefits to the code-switching that these students do. For example, multicultural societies are characterized by the intermingling of cultural communities and the students who belong to different communities have the greatest position to help new relationships form between them (Morton 277). However, educational systems are being used to potentially alienate the students from their communities values and relationships in order to form them for a labor market. Morton believes that “whether educational institutions are justified in undertaking the task of rectifying this injustice by shaping a However, she points the fact that for many students, code-switching is a necessity born of unjust socio-economic conditions. That is to say that there are some students and citizens that don’t have a choice to code-switch or not if they wish to rise in the socio-economic class.

    In Lupe Fiasco 's song "Words I Never Said," he collaborates with Skylar Grey to bring awareness to hard topics that no one wants to converse about, by expressing his own emotions, supplying factual evidence, and challenging the credibility to back up his statements. Throughout the song, Fiasco gives his opinion on subjects he finds important, like conspiracy theories, terrorism, and drugs. After rapping about all these issues and more, Fiasco explains, why it is important to stand up and talk about the unfair and unjust problems in the world, instead of being afraid of what people think. Fiasco 's purpose of the song is successful because he exemplifies the feelings that the audience can relate to and uses metaphors, alliteration, and facts to explain his reasoning.

  • The Power Of Identity In Richard Rodriguez And Bell Hooks

    When you are eating food, you have taste buds-which are sensitive. The taste buds are on your tongue, which then they send a message to the brain, where the brain receives it. This action tells you what is happening with your body. Looking at Richard Rodriguez And Bell Hooks essays, which they show the struggles that they went through during their time, when they were growing as a people. The ability to code-switch was a struggle for Rodriguez and Hooks, who came from a different discourse community, which the power of language had already perceived their identity. The term code switching means switching personalities among certain discourse communities, and the use of language to define us in every day life. We often face code switching in everyday life, but we must acknowledge- when it is happening. Having the ambition to overcome our struggles is already hard enough, even though it could be in school: work: among our own family. Doesn’t the power of language perceived our identity?

  • Analysis Of You Was Right By Lil Uzi Vert

    772 Words  | 2 Pages

    “You Was Right” by Lil Uzi Vert is fairly easy to understand lyrically. The essence of the song deals with unfaithfulness in a relationship as well as the aftermath. Lil Uzi Vert spends a large portion of the song admitting his mistakes to his presumed girlfriend in hopes of making things right between them. The song starts off with the hook, which rests upon the premise of how Lil Uzi Vert should have stayed loyal rather than taking another girl home with him. For example, he says, “You was right, I was wrong” (6) in an attempt to console his girlfriend and apologize. Following the hook, the first verse centers on Lil Uzi Vert’s riches due to his success as a rapper. He ties that in to his relationship by expressing how he wants to share his wealth with his girlfriend. At this stage in the song, Lil Uzi Vert is attempting to win his girlfriend back with his money and general success as a rapper. The hook then repeats itself to indicate that the argument between Lil Uzi Vert and his girlfriend is still continuing. The second verse signifies an escalation in their conflict, as he says, “You just locked the door, so I gotta text you” (42). His girlfriend is refusing to even listen

    Very interesting he use of code-switching in “Colorado My Father Scoured and Stacked Dishes” by Eduardo C. Corral. I am not a native Spanish speaking person but I was able to pick out a few Spanish words from his reading: Jalapeño, Sangron, borracho. My whole attitude and personality changes when used in a different language. I maybe misinterpret the word Sangron but I think in this context it is referring to “Jalapeño”. As an illegal-American, this person must work many jobs to support his family especially if he is not literate in English. Code switching affects my experience by giving a whole different aspect of the writing. In general, code-switch certain things in multilingual is not proper.

  • Code Switching In Dennis Baron's 'Hooked On Ebonics'

    963 Words  | 2 Pages

    Code switching can occur not only during social situations where the same language is spoken, but ethnicities may be different. Kumea Shorter-Gooden, co-author of “Shifting: The Double Lives of Black Women in America,” and chief diversity officer at the University of Maryland argues that code switching is used for survival, stating that its roots date back to pre-antebellum slavery times. Modern examples include people of color in predominantly white cultures or women in male-dominated situations, have had to “quickly figure out ‘How do I manage?’ and read situations that ‘they weren’t set up for in the first place,’” (O’Neal). Caucasians, who may normally speak in Standard American English, can be perceived as racist if they use AAVE. This is because whites have not had to communicate using AAVE in order to survive in society, unlike African-Americans and other people of color that feel pressured to use SAE to fit into society. When Caucasian people use AAVE, it can sound forced or offensive. In contrast, African-Americans who use SAE may be perceived as more intelligent and better fitting into society if they code-switch from AAVE to SAE. Also, problems can arise in the classroom, where many young people who are competent in English and children who have not been sufficiently exposed to both languages (Pfaff). One mainstream example is trying to “sound white.” Speaking “proper,” or Standard American English, in black or ghetto areas can get you bullied (O’Neal). In contrast, sounding “black” in white places can make you feel “alienated and unheard,” (O’Neal). Rather than fulfilling a new role, code switching marks these conversational functions. In addition, code-switching research focuses usually on the code-switcher, but not how it influences the person, or persons, for whom the code switching is

    Mainly (Macneil 311) where we see a teacher instructing students in translating languages. She is able to teach this through a "jeopardy game", asking the students, "what language is it in", and "what linguistic feature is in" said language. “[Teacher: “What language is it in?” Student: “AAL” Teacher: “It is in African-American Language. What linguistic feature is in AAL?” Student: “Past-tense marker-ed” Teacher: “Past-tense marker-ed. That’s cool! And how do you code switch it to Mainstream American English?”]. This juxtaposition of “African-American Language” and “Mainstream American English” exemplifies the unique style that each individual culture gives American language. This style reflects back to the thesis, in particular the words “melting pot”. The dynamism of the paper is increased through implementation of dialogue. This dialogue transmits in a few lines what would normally take a paragraph to express. This decreases unnecessary filler within the paper and allows the reader to focus more on the concrete points that are being stated vs exorbitant

  • Analysis Of Zadie Smith's 'Speaking In Tongues'

    1556 Words  | 4 Pages

    Due to the cultural differences, we may find what is appropriate in one culture may not be suitable for another culture. Under such conditions, people need to learn to speak in a more flexible way and make compromise if necessary. By doing so, people can express themselves in a more acceptable way by not offending anyone. Chua serves herself as an example to show that how inappropriate word can make gaps between hyphenated Americans and other Americans, “I once did the same thing to Sophia, calling her garbage in English when she acted extremely disrespectfully toward me. When I mentioned that I had done this at a dinner party, I was immediately ostracized” (53). When she says she did the same thing, she means her dad once called her “garbage” in their native Hokkien dialect, and that explains why she would call Sophia “garbage”. Chua’s goal is to make Sophia realize her mistakes, but not making Sophia and other guests feel embarrassed and uncomfortable, which required Chua to learn when to speak which voice. If Chua can simply change her way of speaking, she can have more relax relation with Sophia. Over time, hyphenated-Americans may be less separated by their multiple backgrounds. Differed from Chua, Smith states a positive demonstration of how president Obama can turn his biracial identity into advantages by knowing to speak flexibly to make American citizens accept him, “Throughout
