Sociolinguistic Behavior in a Detroit Inner-City Black Neighborhood.
Edwards, Walter F.
Language in Society, v21 n1 p93-115 Mar 1992
The integration of 66 African-American Detroit inner-city residents into their neighborhood is measured quantitatively by a Vernacular Culture Index construction from the respondents' responses to 10 statements. Results show that older respondents are more likely to choose African-American English variants than younger ones. (33 references) (Author/LB)
