Embracing the Black English Vernacular: Response to Koch and Gross.
Burnett, Myra N.; Burlew, Randi; Hudson, Glenetta
Journal of Black Psychology, v23 n3 p233-37 Aug 1997
Reviews the findings of L. Koch and A. Gross (1997) and suggests that the positive perceptions of black children toward Black English reflect the dominant linguistic standard within their peer groups. Retention of the Black English vernacular is advocated because it is an expressively rich form of communication. (SLD)
