Abstract:

The current state of knowledge of African American language is examinedfrom a broad, multidisciplinary perspective that includes its structure,history, social role and educational implications, as well as thelinguistic scholarship from which it derives, as a case study of languageplanning. A diverse array of topics including Hip-Hop culture, the BlackChurch and the Ebonics controversy are unified by a pervasive theme oflatent conflict between academic knowledge and 'real world' knowledge ofBlack language.
