Copula absence in interviews with African-American celebrities [Elektronski vir]Ezgeta, Matjaž, 1978-This article concentrates on one of the most noticeable features of African- American Vernacular English (AAVE), the absence of copula (is and are). The variability of this feature has been studied ... and analyzed in interviews with ten African-American celebrities and officials. I statistically analyze potential internal environmental constraints on copula deletion by highlighting favourable grammatical categories in which the feature occurs at the highest rate. This way, we are able to discover particular preferences in the behaviour of AAVE copula according to subject type and verb type. Further, I consider the influence of social factors (gender, age, social status, ethnicity, and affiliation with Hip Hop culture) on the degree of copula absence within a frame of interspeaker variation and expose those external attributes that appear to stimulate an extensive usage of copula omission. The frequencies of copula deletion represent the levels of vernacular variants employed by each interviewee. My results are then compared with the outcomes of previous sociolinguistic findings on the external influences that have been reported to facilitate the rise in vernacular usage. The central aim of this article is to statistically present the frequencies of copula deletion in the interviews with the selected celebrities in order to explore various causes for particular levels of vernacular or standard copula usage by considering internal grammatical mechanisms and the influence of social factors.Source: Maribor international review [Elektronski vir]. - ISSN 1855-3605 (Vol. 3, no. 1, 2010, str. 1-28)Type of material - e-article ; adult, seriousPublish date - 2010Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 19494664
