USAGE OF SOME CERTAIN COLLOQUIALISMS:
Ain’t, Hain’t,
and Gonna.
B: Fine darling. Thank you.
A: Are you gonna somewhere?
B: Yeah, I am gonna visit my grandpa.
A: Oooh well good. ain't he living here?
B: Noo, he ain't.
A: Hmm. Then you gonna take a long travel:)
B: Yeah
A: See you then
B: See you.
Ain’t a is contraction for “am not”,
“is not”, “are not”, “has not”, and “have not”.
In
some dialects ain't is also
used as a contraction of "do not", "does not", and
"did not". Widely used by many people, and found in most
dictionaries, its use is often considered by prescriptionists to be informal, nonstandard, or
improper. It is first found in the Book the Second of Little
Dorrit (1857) written by Charles Dickens in
the chapter 13: "I guessed it was
you, Mr Pancks," said she, "for it's quite your regular night; ain't
it? ... An't it gratifying, Mr Pancks, though; really?
Even though
ain’t is used by working class people in the
United Kingdom, Then it gained
popularity among all people. It is used in both speech and writing
intentionally for the purpose of catching huge attention from readers and
creating an emphasize on people. It is widely used in song lyrics, funny videos
and some regional films.
Han't or ha'n't, an early contraction for has
not and have not, developed from the elision of the "s" of has not
and the "v" of have not.
Much like
an't, han't was sometimes pronounced with a long "a", yielding hain't. With H-dropping, the "h" of han't or hain't gradually
disappeared in most dialects, and became ain't.
Also, there
is a gonna known “gunna” as well.
Eye
dialect spelling of
going
to: used to express a future action.
- This spelling, like any eye dialect spelling,
risks appearing condescending. Even when going to has
the pronunciation that gonna
denotes, it is usually spelled <going to>.
- Gonna, like the
pronunciation it denotes, only occurs when the sense is roughly “will” or
“shall”; hence “I’m gonna go now”, but not *“I’m gonna the mall.”
To illustrate the topic
here below I found something funny talk:
Don't say ain'tYour mother will faint
Your father will fall in a bucket of paint
Your sister will cry
Your brother will die
And your dog will call the FBI
Here is the dialogue which shows some
problematic use of
grammatical points especially it has an emphasize on ain’t.
Lawrence: Three double cheeseburgers, three
large fries, one special salad and
three Diet Cokes. And would you like a dessert with that?
Customer: -Um
Lawrence: You get a free dessert ‘cause you
spent over £10, is it?
Customer: Actually, I think that’s fine. Thank
you.
Lawrence: Have you got everything from your
server that you asked for?
Customer: Sorry, everything that I…
Lawrence: Asked for. Is it that you got
everything from your server that you asked for?
Customer: Um, yeah, thank you.
Lawrence: But is this the best that you ever
been served in a burger bar?
Customer: Sorry…
Lawrence: Is it that I am the best server you
have ever seen in a burger bar?
Customer: Well, you’re certainly very
efficient.
Lawrence: Employee of the month, though.
Customer: Well, that’s a great achievement. I
am gonna go now.
Lawrence: Are you employee of the month, though.
Customer: Uh, no, I am not.
Lawrence: So, you’ve never been employee of the
month, then?
Customer: I am afraid my firm of lawyers don’t
have the employee of the month.
Lawrence: Well, shut up, then.
(SMAKING LIPS)
Lawrence: Can I…
(BOTH LAUGHING)
Girl:
What are you doing?
Lawrence: What?
Girl:
You work in a burger bar.
Lawrence: No, I don’t.
Boy:
That is well bad.
Lawrence: I don’t work here, though.
Girl:
But you’re standing behind the counter.
Lawrence: Yeah, well, I got bored waiting for
my order.
Boy:
So, why are you in that uniform?
Lawrence: Right, this ain’t a
uniform.
Boy:
Why are you wearing it, then?
Lawrence: I ain’t
wearing it.
Boy:
But it says your name on it.
Lawrence: That ain’t
my name.
Girl:
It says “Lauren”
Lawrence: No it don’t.
Boy:
“Welcome to Billy’s Burger Bar. My name is Lauren.”
Lawrence: Are you laughing at me?
Boy:
Yeah, man.
Lawrence: Right. Do you think it’s funny?
Boy:
Yeah, it’s well funny.
WE HAVE A SONG AS WELL BY LENNY KRAVITZ.
Ain’t no Sunshine
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
It’s not warm when she’s away
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
And she’s always gone too long
Anytime she goes away…
‘Wonder this time
Where she’s gone
‘Wonder if she’s gonna stay
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
And this house just ain’t no
home
Anytime she goes away
And I know, I know, I know…
Oooh I oughta leave
The young thing alone but
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
Only darkness everyday
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
And this house is just not a home
Anytime she goes away
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
It is not warm when she’s away
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
And she’s always gone too long
Anytime she goes away…
Anytime she goes away
……………………………..
In addition, there are many and many songs which ain't is used in it like "Ain't Nobody's Business" from Rihanna or "She ain't you" from Chris Brown etc...
As a final illustration of this grammatical point I want give a film example which is used in it.
" This ain't Star TREK xxx", "This Ain't California", "You ain't heard Nothing" and "RIO"
video reflection 3- FRANKENSTEIN
FRANKENSTEIN
I chose this movie because I truly like it. It is amazing. In the plot a brilliant scientist called Victor tries to create a man. He believes he could do that. With the help of new inventions of that time especially with the help of electricity he believes he to do that. It is overreaching human restrictions. Yet, he manages to create a man. However, that was not actually a man but a living thing that a monster. Victor was very disappointed with his creation so he cannot even look at him and he escapes from attention from environment. Everyone frightens from him and escapes. Finally, the monster could not tolerate the situation and desires create a woman creature from the scientist. However, due to the monster’s behaviors he did not do that. Therefore, the wrestle between the scientist and monster begins and at the end even the monster kills many of the close people to scientist, Victor did not kill him.
This plot is written by Mary
Shelley. She started wrote it in her nineteen and published her work in her
twenty one in 1823. The period that she lived in is called Romantic Period. In that
period women writers did not start write yet. She was one of the first women
writers. At that times writing about gothic stories were so popular because it
was the new kind of writing at that times. Then once writers decided to write
the best gothic story among themselves. Percy Shelley also was that time’s well
known writer and he joined as well the competition. While he was doing that his
wife Mary Shelley also began write. Looking at her work her husband supported
his wife and she became a writer.
