Abstract
The United States is a young nation, but now it has become the strongest nation. Its every stage of the history is worthy studying and reflecting. Due to historical reasons, there are a lot of black people living in the United States. The language which they used has some distinctive ethnic features and enjoys a unique name, called “AAVE”. However, further researches show that the name of AAVE is not accurate. Because the language variant is not simply formed by national differences. Its usage is closely related to the economic status, education level and so on. So in recent years, AAVE has gradually become an important social dialect, rather than a national dialect. On the one hand, not all Americans use AAVE. AAVE is a kind of English variant that used by the low economic blacks in American society, or the blacks have risen to middle income level, but still keep in touch with the original class in blacks. As the rapid transmission of information, AAVE is loved by more and more young people because of its peculiar concise and the direct way of expressing feelings.
