The word ebonics is made up of two words. Ebony, which means black and phonics, which refers to sound. It is a systematic
rule-governed natural speech that is consistent as any other language in sentence structure. This is referred to as syntax. What
makes this speech pattern uniquely different to "so called" American Standard English is its verb tense or lack of it. An example
of this can be seen in the sentence, "He is sick today". This same sentence translated in ebonics would read, "He sick
today". As you can see the verb has been omitted. However, this speech pattern is consistently used. Major controversy has
arisen whether or not ebonics is a separate language or simply a dialect. In doing my research, I have found that most linguists
take the position that ebonics is a dialect. What distinguishes dialect from language is that in dialect two speakers share most
or some of the same vocabulary and is recognizable and understandable. In contrast, separate languages are present only
when the inability to communicate verbally occurs.
