"Although I've only been in the class for a few weeks, this class has made me look at the educational and social aspects of every day life and compare it to the material we cover in class. Lecture is very interactive. Professor Banks constantly poses questions for us to ponder and answer. Discussion can get so intense that sometimes I don't even take notes."

LSA RESOLUTION ON THE OAKLAND "EBONICS" ISSUE and expressive nature of the grammar and pronunciation patterns of the African Americanvernacular has been established by numerous scientific studies over the http://www.lsadc.org/ebonics.html
Extractions: "EBONICS" ISSUE Whereas there has been a great deal of discussion in the media and among the American public about the l8 December l996 decision of the Oakland School Board to recognize the language variety spoken by many African American students and to take it into account in teaching Standard English, the Linguistic Society of America, as a society of scholars engaged in the scientific study of language, hereby resolves to make it known that: a. The variety known as "Ebonics," "African American Vernacular English" (AAVE), and "Vernacular Black English" and by other names is systematic and rule-governed like all natural speech varieties. In fact, all human linguistic systemsspoken, signed, and written are fundamentally regular. The systematic and expressive nature of the grammar and pronunciation patterns of the African American vernacular has been established by numerous scientific studies over the past thirty years. Characterizations of Ebonics as "slang," "mutant," " lazy," "defective," "ungrammatical," or "broken English" are incorrect and demeaning. b. The distinction between "languages" and "dialects" is usually made more on social and political grounds than on purely linguistic ones. For example, different varieties of Chinese are popularly regarded as "dialects," though their speakers cannot understand each other, but speakers of Swedish and Norwegian, which are regarded as separate "languages," generally understand each other. What is important from a linguistic and educational point of view is not whether AAVE is called a "language" or a "dialect" but rather that its systematicity be recognized.

Extractions: Corresponding with the Library's extensive holdings in American history and culture, the Newberry has a strong collection of African American materials. The Newberry's main strength in the field of African American Studies falls in the anti-slavery movement. With over 2000 books and pamphlets relating to anti-slavery, the Newberry has over 66% of the materials listed in Dumond's A Bibliography of Antislavery in America and 70% of the titles cited in Turner's Antislavery Sentiment in American Literature Some types of primary sources one might find at the Newberry relating to African American history and culture include For instance, the Newberry's Driscoll collection of American sheet music is a major source for the study of African American music and culture between 1818 and 1915. Importantly, these original sources are complemented by later published editions of primary sources, such as transcriptions of slave narratives prepared by the Federal Writers' Project (1936-38) The American Slave , portions of Stampp's microfilm set Records of Ante Bellum Southern Plantations , and selected Freedmen's Bureau Records on microfilm.
