-- Here are some other references that reflect differing perspectives. For
example, the work of Ellis Weismer & colleagues has focused on developing
processing dependent measures, such as nonword repetition, that appear to be
less culturally loaded for assessing certain aspects of phonological memory in
African American children. Janna Oetting’s research on AAVE and language
impairment takes a contrastive approach to dialect analysis, while the Silliman
et al. chapter summarizes research through 2002 and also concentrates on phonological
representation issues in African American children who are struggling readers. </span></font><font
