From birth to early adulthood, all aspects of a child's life
undergo enormous development and change, and language is no
exception. This book documents the results of a pioneering
longitudinal linguistic survey, which followed a cohort of
sixty-seven African American children over the first twenty years
of life, to examine language development through childhood. It
offers the first opportunity to hear what it sounds like to grow up
linguistically for a cohort of African American speakers, and
provides fascinating insights into key linguistics issues, such as
how physical growth influences pronunciation, how social factors
influence language change, and the extent to which individuals
modify their language use over time. By providing a lens into some
of the most foundational questions about coming of age in African
American Language, this study has implications for a wide range of
disciplines, from speech pathology and education, to research on
language acquisition and sociolinguistics.
