ⓘ BLACK AMERICAN ENGLISH Beaucoup d'Afro-Américains parlent un anglais particulier dont la syntaxe et le vocabulaire portent encore l'empreinte de certaines langues africaines. De nos jours certains spécialistes rejettent le terme "Black American English", se fondant sur le fait que cette langue - aujourd'hui communément appelée "ebonics" - est plus proche des structures des langues africaines parlées par les premiers esclaves que de l'anglais standard, alors que d'autres la considèrent comme un simple dialecte. Récemment, et ce particulièrement grâce à la popularité du rap, l'anglais parlé par les Afro-Américains est devenu à la mode chez les jeunes des deux côtés de l'Atlantique.

ⓘ THE BLACK COUNTRY Le Pays noir désigne, en Grande-Bretagne, la région des West Midlands, riche en aciéries et en mines de charbon.
