This website presents many differential features of AAVE, in the phonological, syntactic, lexical levels. It gives an account of the low social prestige and of the controversy regarding its use in the education of children that speak it. It also introduces briefly the two hypotheses for the origin of AAVE: the dialect hypothesis that connects AAVE to the other Southern Dialects and the creole hypothesis that asserts AAVE came from a Creole developed with the slave trade. It is a good introduction.
