Abstract
AAVE is a vernacular that has often been overlooked in the American society because it has often been associated with bad grammar. However, it is a very important dialect of American English with well structured particular grammatical and phonological features, which are strictly followed by its speakers. The internet on the other hand is one of the most universal communication media in the world and it has its own sort of language which makes communication easier, faster and more practical. This thesis examines African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and language on the internet in the same context and for that reason two of the most popular internet situations of today were used: the discussion board or internet forum and YouTube.
