Abstract:

>From birth to early adulthood, all aspects of a child's life undergo enormous
development and change, and language is no exception. This book documents the
results of a pioneering longitudinal linguistic survey, which followed a
cohort of sixty-seven African American children over the first twenty years of
life, to examine language development through childhood. It offers the first
opportunity to hear what it sounds like to grow up linguistically for a cohort
of African American speakers, and provides fascinating insights into key
linguistics issues, such as how physical growth influences pronunciation, how
social factors influence language change, and the extent to which individuals
modify their language use over time. By providing a lens into some of the most
foundational questions about coming of age in African American Language, this
study has implications for a wide range of disciplines, from speech pathology
and education, to research on language acquisition and sociolinguistics.
