Evaluate the article
I feel that this article is a good depiction of AAVE mostly due to its deep dive into all of the grammatical and linguistic aspects of this language. It was a neutral tone and it showed a good origin/history of the language. I feel that it could use more emphasis on the social barrier that speaking this language causes in modern society for African Americans due to the negative connotations associated with speaking this way. A similar comment was made in the talk section, specifically about how the introduction needed to include this information.
