Reassessing the Status of Black English (Review Article).
Spears, Arthur K.
Language in Society, v21 n4 p675-82 Dec 1992
Summarizes the main points presented in the 1989 book, "The Death of Black English" by R.R. Butlers (1989). Butler's book presents most important research of last 20 years and subjects the results to variation analysis. It is concluded that the history of linguistic assimilation points to the eventual disappearance of Black English in the United States. (19 references) (LT)
