- Morgan touches on the origin of African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and the biases people have toward people who use it. She compares AAVE's structure to the accepted English language and breaks down its meaning in different contexts.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
DID SHE JUST SAY SHE WAS ONLY IN GRADE 9? AMAZING. GO OFF SWEETIE
Would be nice to have more teens like her
Another sjw, like all things with liberals, get them while theyre young
@@dbgvideos6133 bro chilllllllllllllllllllllllllll its 2021 not 2016 broooooooo
you prolly dont care but if you guys are stoned like me atm you can watch all the new movies on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my gf for the last couple of days xD
@Elon Everett Yup, I have been watching on instaflixxer for months myself :)
she was very nervous but i know how hard it is to speak in front of an audience. good job! u go girl!
she was more confident than me :/ but she did AMAZINGGGGGGGG
She's in 9th grade.
She doesn't look "very" nervous. But I agree she did a good job
This is so well done! The speaker seemed nervous but they killed it.
@Josue2018 If "TedxYouth" is any indicator, she's probably just a bit nervous, likely not having done this too much before. I remember my college public speaking class, we had to tell 6 speeches over the curriculum to the entire class, and I was a nervous wreck my first few.
Yea she was nervous but fought past it and did a good job
Regardless of her age or public speaking skill I can hardly blame her. Her mic kept malfunctioning and people seem to be walking around her stage and that can throw off even a skilled public speaker
I’m a graduate student at USC writing a research paper on AAE and this 9th grader just gave me a bunch of content 😭 thank you so much! ❤️
Great for you! What do you plan on doing with your degree?
You should probably learn first that it's AAVE
@@avi7278 thanks 😄 I’ll also research “typos”
@avi7278 AAE is not wrong. Our language is called AAVE, AAE, BAL, Ebonics and AAL. So even though it was a typo, she was right.
An excellent explanation, though TED could give her a better microphone
The mic is fine. The audio tech should be replaced
They should have placed it a little lower, it sounds perfect when she looks to the right..
TED don’t have anything to do with this particular video because TEDx is independent
@@warrenmcgreevy4590 OH SNAAAP!!😆
@@Rickety3263 -🤓
she’s so smart.. someone give her scholarship now !
People are saying that she looks nervous but dealing with anything going wrong is really hard to do on stage. Her mic keeps messing up and she's handling it like a boss.
Yeah. In india we use our own version of English mixed with Hindi. We actually call it Hinglish. Each part of the country has its unique way of speaking the language. I think thats cool - just like the young lady.
I didn't know that had a name that's so cool!
It isn't cool. People are really forgetting the meaning of hindi and are including English words.
वो तो लिखते भी 'aise' है, जब कि हिंदी type करते समय उन्हें 'ऐसे' लिखना चाहिए l
Thats not English. Go on with your hallucination
@@ranz4375 so is aave not english either
@@pixeled9683 bhaijaan in logo ka sunna nahi chahiye jab tak aapki english samaj mai aara hoga voh enough hai
she did such a good job!!
AM SO PROUD OF YOU HONEY LOOK AT YOUUUUU ! YOU'RE SPEECH WAS AMAZING AHH YOU ARE A WHOLE LEGEND ! GOOD JOB ! ! !
You could learn some things from her, for example.. The difference between Your and You're.. You could've escaped this by using the UR version, I could've dismissed your comment as laziness but here we're. 🤣
@@Twizted86 not anyone in universe speaks fluent english, and this could be just typo
Wow, in AAVE they use the double nagative like in my country Brazil as emphasis of the sentence
it is used the same way in Spanish!
Same way in Turkish, too :0
We have some dialects in the UK that do the same 🙂
And many other languages!!
@@samwilson5544 wow, cool I have no idea that in UK happens the same thing
Beautiful video. In the Philippines the official language is Tagalog. But certain regions/groups may also know ilocano, bisaya, or kapangangan, even English, doesn’t mean they’re uneducated or don’t fully know/understand/excel in tagalog, just that they have another way of speaking that connects to their subcultures. A lot of people here commenting think AAVE = not knowing proper English. Talk about ignorance. Wonderful video and I learned so much and it was so unbiased and well done. You’re going to go sososo far in life! Thanks for making this.
Coño is killing tagalog 😔
This was very informative and your speech was well written!
She is probably part White.
@@chrislinhares7311 what was the purpose of adding that comment lmao
@@roseschu5964 TBH I think Chris Linhares thinks that maybe because she is speaking in GAE, but there is actually no reason for us to believe this.
@Lawrance Ovarabia There's a thing called "bi-dialectal" and "code-mixing" where you can speak more than one dialect. Speakers of AAVE (not AAEG) most likely will already know the grammatical features of their own dialect, and she's educating the audience (mostly white people) about AAVE.
@Lawrance Ovarabia
Because the Standard American dialect is used formally....?
Thank you! I am doing some research on AAVE and I learned a ton from this presentation!
Extremely impressive, can’t wait to see what she does in the future!
After watching the LangFocus video on the topic, I was really fascinated by all the specifics and the intricacies with the grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary of AAVE.
She is so cute, I like her
Btw when someone says "American" I emagine blacks and white together cuz not every African American come from Africa or lived there, well maybe their family or ancestors lived there but even if they were and they still are part American in them that doesn't make them less of an American
Exactly, just like how most white Americans are Euro-Americans although they are never called that.
WOWWW that was incredible!! So much wisdom and knowledge, you go girl!! I really enjoyed learning from you!
this is my friend morgan and she truly is so well spoken and she’s only 16 or 17 right now
The audience was so dry, it's a very educational and lighthearted and I think their presentation was very kool
Proud of you Morgan! Well done and great subject!
Thank you! Great presentation :)
Hi
I loved everything about this !!!!!
Amazing! Thank you so much for this!
Out here representing Magnet good job!
Very well delivered speech and so easy to understand! Love it!
this is very informative! i wanted to learn more about AAVE and the first video to pop up showed a white guy talking, and theres no way im learning bout my language from a white boy. she did an amazing job!
U white too
She did fantastic and she's so young! You go girl! Keep up the good work!
Good job. The outline was logical and the presentation was easy to follow.👍🏽
Damn she could teach an AAVE class! I would be there! We need classes on this! Lol it felt super dense and I'm not that educated on English so it was hard to follow but I would still show up to that class!
Excellent job young lady, wisdom beyond her years. Definitely educated me.
That was a phenomenal presentation, which I learned a lot from... Great job young lady!
Go Girl!! very informing and loved listening to you
I know I'll never learn how to speak in African American vernacular but I love it
It depends on where you live. If you are in a region or a neighborhood where it is spoken a lot you will pick it up and likely speak it when you were around other people who speak that way. I’ve worked in Jamaica a few times and found it difficult to understand the local patois language, but If I lived there for a year or two I’m sure I would pick it up quickly and learn to speak at some and certainly learn to understand it when it is spoken. Language is a great way to challenge yourself, so you never know maybe someday you will actually learn how to speak in this vernacular
Bruh I'm in the UK and know it from the Internet of course 😅
@@HunterMann I leve east Africa especially Somalia & I can understand African American English very well
I watched this with my 11 year old this morning in Islamabad, Pakistan. And it was by far the best explanation we could find on the internet, despite spending a fair amount of time looking
Right on young lady. Thank you! Stay at it, keep teaching.
Very much enjoyed this.
So informative !! Thank you !
Very good talk! It helps for my studies in languages, thank you!
Great job Morgan! Well done.
🙌🏽🙌🏽ya love to see it
she did a wonderful job explaining this.
this is so important!
Very interesting and informative. Great Job
Speak AAVE whenever you want. It is your right to do so! If you want most people to understand everything you say, that's another matter!
If I go to a hospital for heart surgery, I don't care what colour or race the surgeon is but if they start speaking AAVE , ain't nobody got time fo' dat!
they did amazing
you did a great job!!
Morgan is awesome at speaking!
good job morgan!!!!
Excellent! Great job!
so so so good!!!
girl I'm so proud of you omg LOOK AT YOU GO
Thank you so much for this presentation! I am just starting to learn about a AAVE and recognize how important, as a white person, it is to understand and appreciate this dialect. Thank you again for helping me grow in my understanding.
Awesome job. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Wow im really impressed
Great job and great presentation! 👍
Great job!
Brilliant talk
amazing!
A great talk by a great speaker! Hope to see more in the future! Keep it up girlie :)
Who says "girlie" 💀
@@NarCissisT789 someone who doesn’t have a playlist called “weeb stuff”
@@roseschu5964 !🤣
Amazing presentation!
Great job
Amazing!
so is "he do be lookin kinda fresh doe" an example of occasional tense? I had never heard that phrase before. Really interesting stuff
Yes I would say it is be is often used to refer to something occasional so if “he do be lookin kinda fresh” dat meen he always be put together or he always looks nice
Yes.
love this young lady
Bralliant topic. And though she seems nervous, she still did good.
Well spoken. Thank you
An amazing presentation from an even more amazing student!
Great job hun
PROUD!!!!!
Great explanation!
I did a urban dictionary and mobbin'

"In Cali at least it means to do something with around a dozen other people with an assertive mindset. Often in regards to going to a party or club with liquor and drugs involved. Not necessarily with hostile intentions."
It just means hanging our
Thank you Kanye. Very cool.

All of me...loves your aura! Well done...Second to NONE!
You are ALWAYS my Pearl.
African American is such nice people, All Africans around the world is very nice and helpfull 💞💜💕💝💗❣️🥰👏💪🙂If all people were like them, the world would be a better place really 💓👏👍💯🙂🥰💞💖
Well presented!
Yes
good video
this is great
Wtf is that mic, its so distracting
Aks, Ax (ask) is Scots language (Appalachaian/Southern) via the Scots/Scots-irish colonial immigrants.
I love her presentation! I feel more informed because of it. I do have a serious question for those of you who have genetic ties to this dialect and its culture.. How do you feel when you encounter an individual that is not of this ancestral decent that uses AAVE and insists that "its part of who they are" and such?
so good
this needs more views
This was a great speech!
3:20 Omg, the Freudian slip. Priceless!
Freudian slip is a myth
Yep
Brilliant
really cool video
I love their accent 💛
Great show . The youth in America are far more intelligent than adults give them credit . Maybe , in time old America will get out of the way and allow young America to emerge .
she killed it fs
This was incredibly informative! Thank you for sharing this Ted talk!
Our dialect relies less on the technical definitions of words. Instead it speaks to your feelings. It uses tone, facial expression, and non verbals to convey meaning. It paints pictures with words. It easily lends itself to an art form like hip hop. Hip hop also speaks to the listeners feelings. You feel me?
Our current way of speaking is related to current power structures and who is in control. If the blacks were in charge of political, government and corporate systems then African American Vernacular English would be the de facto language and possible the Lingua franca of the world. It's about who the rulers are.
AAVE accent is LAW
I feel like this is stereotypical personally.
But I understand now based on the history of the dialect.
Yes she 😊 was very informative but their (Tedtalk) mic sucked 😠.... other than that 💚💙
Cute girl..
Very well prepared talk ... very well structured...
Africans here saying cause as cuz
Why didn’t she present this whole speech in AAVE if it’s so great and legitimate?
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
