Difference versus Deficit in Child African American English.
Seymour, Harry N.; Bland-Stewart, Linda; Green, Lisa J.
Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, v29 n2 p96-108 Apr 1998
The syntax of 14 child speakers of African American English (AAE) with and without language disorders were compared. Findings suggested that shared features between AAE and Standard American English may be more diagnostically salient than features not shared when identifying children of AAE language backgrounds with language disorders.
