Thesis (M.A.)--Northeastern Illinois University, 2015.

This thesis challenges what is commonly recognized as the concept of Black English or AAVE by veering off the beaten path of the typical data sources for AAVE research and exploring how African-American spiritual leaders use the English language to communicate with their followers. The goal of this thesis is to demonstrate that African-Americans' use of the English language is as diverse as African-Americans themselves. Carmen Fought points out that many studies on AAVE have been done with the focus being young African-American males, working class African-Americans, and media studies involving comedians and rappers (2006). Studies that focus primarily on these segments within the African-American community do not show the entire picture. The religious and spiritual lives of African-Americans represent their core values and language plays a huge role in spiritual expression. Studies of this nature are more representative of African-Americans and how they use language as opposed to rappers and comedians, who are paid entertainers and often have incentives to exaggerate and "push the envelope" when it comes to using language. This thesis provides a glimpse into the language African-Americans use within a spiritual context by examining the linguistic features of sermons and talks given by national and local spiritual leaders. A total of 4 sermons and talks were examined with 2 of the spiritual leaders being female and 2 of them under the age of 50. The researcher identified 6 key AAVE features thought to be the most prevalent features in this variety and commonly the focus of many studies. The researcher also identified three common features in African-American speech that are not as prominent in studies. In addition to these four common features, other features that distinguished the speakers as African-American that are not the six most common features focused upon in studies, were also noted.
