This book brings together sixteen essays in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) by a leading expert in the field, one who has been researching & writing for a quarter of a century. Rickford's essays - written between 1975 & 1998 - provide an informed commentary based on systematic research rather than the opinionated misinformation that dominates media commentary on ebonics.
From the Back Cover:
In response to the flood of interest in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) following the recent controversy over "Ebonics," this book brings together sixteen essays on the subject by a leading expert in the field, one who has been researching and writing on it for a quarter of a century.

Rickford's essays cover the three central areas in which questions continue to come in from teachers, students, linguists, the news media, and interested members of the public:


  • What are the features of AAVE/Ebonics and how is it used?
  • What is its evolution and where is it headed?
  • What are its educational implications?

The answers to these questions are sometimes matters of controversy even within linguistics, the scientific study of language, but Rickford's essays - written between 1975 and 1998 - provide an informed commentary on them based on systematic research rather than the opinionated misinformation that dominated media commentary on Ebonics.
