Ebonics (word)
Term for African American Vernacular English
Ebonics (a portmanteau of the words ebony and phonics) is a term created in 1973 by a group of African-American scholars who disapproved of the negative terms and stereotypes being used to describe their unique language and manner of speaking. Since the 1996 controversy over its use by the Oakland School Board, the term Ebonics has primarily been used to refer to the sociolects of African-American English, which typically are distinctively different from Standard American English.

Ebonics (a portmanteau of the words ebony and phonics) is a term created in 1973 by a group of African-American scholars who disapproved of the negative terms and stereotypes being used to describe their unique language and manner of speaking. Since the 1996 controversy over its use by the Oakland School Board, the term Ebonics has primarily been used to refer to the sociolects of African-American English, which typically are distinctively different from Standard American English. In the 21st century, the term African American Vernacular English (AAVE) is often preferred, especially in the context of formal academic research.
