<div>It seems like the null 3sg -s and habitual (invariant) ‘be’ are syntactic but also morphological in nature. I would bet that the folks who developed the DELV test could make additional suggestions.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"> Many of the features of AAVE that diverge from Standard American English involve alternative syntactic and phonological processes that would fall outside of the scope of morphological
analysis. There are a few remaining morphological features such as a-gonna, but at least some of these are already recognized by ENG-MOR. In addition, there are probably various lexical items used by AAVE speakers that are not yet in ENG-MOR but which could
easily be added. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"> If there are important things that ENG-MOR is not recognizing in an AAVE transcript, please tell me and we will try to add them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
