Hello all,
I've written a short (approximately half a page) story, and I would be extremely grateful for some assistance with it. The narrator is an African American who speaks the lect that has sometimes been called "Black English Vernacular" and "African American Vernacular English." I am not a speaker of this lect, and while I have done my best to try to replicate it, I am sure that there are a lot of subtleties that I am missing, and that what I wrote would look really fake to anyone who actually does speak it.
If you are a speaker of this lect, would you be willing to help me make the make the narrative sound more authentic? Thanks.
Joy,
Lynn
