From its historical development to its contemporary context, this is the first full-length overview of the use and evaluation of AAE by middle class speakers, giving voice to this relatively neglected segment of the African American speech community. Weldon offers a unique first-person account of middle class AAE, and highlights distinguishing elements such as codeswitching, camouflaged feature usage, Standard AAE, and talking/sounding 'Black' vs. 'Proper'. Readers can hear authentic excerpts and audio prompts of the language described through a wide range of audio files, which can be accessed directly from the book's page using QR technology. Engaging and accessible, it will help students and researchers gain a broader understanding of both the African American speech community and the AAE continuum"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Black English $x Phonology. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Languages. 650 0 $a Middle class African Americans. 650 0 $a English language $x Dialects $z United States. 650 0 $a Sociolinguistics $z United States. 650 7 $a African Americans $x Languages. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799631 650 7 $a Black English $x Phonology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00833608 650 7 $a English language $x Dialects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911083 650 7 $a Middle class African Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01742999 650 7 $a Sociolinguistics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01123847 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Online version: $a Weldon, Tracey, $t Middle-class African American English $d New York : Cambridge University Press, 2020. $z 9781139021531 $w (DLC) 2020027586 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317030803.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=ABDE6A72CF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
