Green, Lisa J. - African American English: A Linguistic Introduction

Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, (2005). reprint. orig.wrappers. 23x15cm, xii,285 pp. PAPERBACK.. Minor rubbing. VG. ¶ This authoritative introduction to African American English (AAE) is the first textbook to look at the grammar as a whole. Clearly organised, it describes patterns in the sentence structure, sound system, word formation and word use in AAE. The book uses linguistic description and data from conversation to explain that AAE is not a compilation of random deviations from mainstream English but that it is a rule-governed system. The textbook examines topics such as education, speech events in the secular and religious world, and the use of language in literature and the media to create black images. This much-needed book includes exercises to accompany each chapter and will be essential reading for students in linguistics, education, anthropology, African American studies and literature" - Publisher's description.
