It explores the relationship between AAE and other varieties of English (namely Southern White Vernaculars, Gullah, and Caribbean English creoles), language use in the African American community (e.g., Hip Hop, women's language, and directness), and application of our knowledge about AAE to issues in education (e.g., improving overall academic success). To its credit (since most books avoid the issue), the volume also seeks to define the term 'AAE' and challenge researchers to address the complexity of defining a language and its speakers. The volume collectively tries to help readers better understand language use in the African American community and how that understanding benefits all who value language variation and the knowledge such study brings to our society. 410 0$aVarieties of English around the world.$pGeneral series ;$vv. 27. 606 $aAfrican Americans$xLanguages 606 $aEnglish language$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aEnglish language$xVariation$zUnited States 606 $aBlack English 606 $aAmericanisms 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xLanguages. 615 0$aEnglish language$xSocial aspects 615 0$aEnglish language$xVariation 615 0$aBlack English. 615 0$aAmericanisms. 676 $a427/.973/08996073 701 $aLanehart$b Sonja L$01622578 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827583303321 996 $aSociocultural and Historical Contexts of African American English$93956515 997 $aUNINA
