NEW TITLE FROM BLACKWELL PUBLISHING
African American English in the Diaspora
Shana Poplack and Sali Tagliamonte
University of Ottawa and University of York
This provocative volume investigates the origins of contemporary
African American Vernacular English (AAVE), one of the oldest, yet
unsolved, questions in sociolinguistics.
Exploring the hypothesis that contemporary AAVE is a direct descendant
of colonial British English rather than of a widespread Creole
precursor, this volume presents a comprehensive analysis of tense and
aspect as manifested in recorded conversations with 101 former slaves
and their descendants. The study is staged in three distinct
"diaspora" enclaves in Canada and the Caribbean, whose language has
evolved independently of AAVE, modern Creoles and neighboring speech
varieties. Advanced quantitative methodology, combined with
linguistically precise analyses of English dialects in historical
context, make this an essential text for researchers and students of
linguistics, the history of English and African American Studies.
