Abstract:

How do children acquire African American English? How do they develop the 
specific language patterns of their communities? Drawing on spontaneous 
speech samples and data from structured elicitation tasks, this book explains 
the developmental trends in the children's language. It examines topics such as 
the development of tense/aspect marking, negation and question formation, and 
addresses the link between intonational patterns and meaning. Lisa Green 
shows the impact that community input has on children's development of 
variation in the production of certain constructions such as possessive -s, third 
person singular verbal -s, and forms of copula and auxiliary be. She discusses 
the implications that the linguistic description has for practical applications, 
such as developing instructional materials for children in the early stages of their 
education.
