`ax’ (alts) v. axed, ax-Ing, ax-es Nimsmndard Variant of ask.
`OUR uvruo LANGUAGE /ix. a common nonstandard variant of
`ask. is often identified as an especially salient feature of African
`American Vernacular English. While it is true that the form is
`frequent in the speech of African Americans. it used to be com-
`mon in the speech of white Americans as well, especially in New
`England. This should not be surprising since axis a very old word
`in English. having been used in England for over 1,000 years. In
`Old English we find both nsriun and awirm. and in Middle Eng-
`lish both rtskett and axe». Moreover, the forms with cs or x had
`no stigma associated with them; Chaucer. for example. used
`mice» and axe»: interchangeably. The forms in x arose from the
`forms in sit by a linguistic process called rnerudresis. in which two
`sounds are reversed The .1 thus represents (ks). the flipped ver-
`sion of (sk). Mctatlicsis is a common linguistic process around
`the world and does not arise from a defect in speaking. Never-
`theless. ax has become stigmatized as subst:tnclard—a fate that
`has befallen other words, such as ain't. that were once perfectly
`acceptable in literate circles.
