A THREAD: #PVALLEY “ACCENTS” - The “slanguage” of the show continues to irk many of the #PynkPosse esp from Da Sip calling it “too country” or “slave talk.” I think we should kiki as I know fa’ sho’ we don’t speak like slaves👇🏿, but the descendants of them
ACCENT is the pronunciation of words. For example, Southerners often sound like they are sayin PIN when they are saying PEN. Memphis —> Mimphis. It can include cadence as well.
DIALECT is not only pronunciation, but also grammar construction, vocab and lingo. In #PValley “I’m about to go to the store.” Can come out as “I’m finna go to the sto’.” “He’s sick.” becomes “He down bad.”
