Approaches to Black Language Studies: A Cultural Critique.

Williamson-Ige, Dorothy K.

Journal of Black Studies, v15 n1 p17-29 Sep 1984

Analyzes 10 theoretical approaches to Black language studies. Divides these into two categories: those that deny the existence of a separate Black language and those that recognize a distinct form of communication. Examines the relationship between language and politics and Black scholars' self-determination as cultural factors influencing language philosophies. (KH)
