 form too.  So, there will be some morphological categories and affixes missing, but no changes need to be made to the ENG-MOR tagger for this operation.  Instead, these patterns would have to be picked up in a parser with some grammar checking routines.  At
 that point, instead of calling these grammatical violations, they could be tagged as dialectal variations.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<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
