Miguel, Time for me to point out again, that most speakers of AAVE do not speak standard english fluently. Most speakers of the English dialects- in general- are not "bilingual". As you know, the definition of "native speaker" means learning the language and dialect at that critical very young age. Social reality is such that very, very few people learn two languages or even two dialects at that age. Certainly not the average American; upper or lower class, black, white, hispanic or whatever. A relatively small percentage of minority speakers (including remote white dialects) who become well-assimilated into mainstream culture become fluent in standard american english. I am interested to know what social motivation causes you to want to believe that most African-Americans are native speakers of SAE? |
