African American English: A Linguistic IntroductionCambridge University Press, 08.08.2002 - 285 Seiten This authoritative introduction to African American English (AAE) is the first textbook to look at the grammar as a whole. Clearly organised, it describes patterns in the sentence structure, sound system, word formation and word use in AAE.
