"The third major strategy of Mock Ebonics is semantic and pragmatic derogation, which reinforces the anti-Ebonics ideology that Ebonics is slang. Producers of 5 Blackwell Publishers Ltd. Ebonics parody pages formalize such derogation in the longer texts by (1) replacing semantically neutral words with ones with derogatory connota- tions, and (2) inserting interjections that are inappropriate to the registers of the original texts. Text 4 shows examples of lexical substitutions and phrasal interjections in an excerpt from the Mock Ebonics version of Electra by SofaCleavages (`Electra by Sophocles') from De Ebonic Lectric Libary O De Classicks."
