African American Vernacular English (Paperback)

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.
