Abstract:

Editor's Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced title.

The goal of The Oxford Handbook of African American Language is to provide
readers with a wide range of analyses of both traditional and contemporary
work on language use in African American communities in a broad collective.
The Handbook offers a survey of language and its uses in African American
communities from a wide range of contexts organized into seven sections:
Origins and Historical Perspectives; Lects and Variation; Structure and
Description; Child Language Acquisition and Development; Education; Language
in Society; and Language and Identity. It is a handbook of research on African
American Language (AAL) and, as such, provides a variety of scholarly
perspectives that may not align with each other -- as is indicative of most
scholarly research. The chapters in this book "interact" with one another as
contributors frequently refer the reader to further elaboration on and
references to related issues and connect their own research to related topics
in other chapters within their own sections and the handbook more generally to
create dialogue about AAL, thus affirming the need for collaborative thinking
about the issues in AAL research. Though the Handbook does not and cannot
include every area of research, it is meant to provide suggestions for future
work on lesser-studied areas (e.g., variation/heterogeneity in regional,
social, and ethnic communities) by highlighting a need for collaborative
perspectives and innovative thinking while reasserting the need for better
research and communication in areas thought to be resolved.
