Fully revised and updated -- the ultimate guide to black talk from all segments of the African American community.Do you want to be down with the latest hype terms from the Hip Hop world? Black Talk is the perfect source. "Even if you think you're hip, you'd better look up kitchen, got her nose open, jump salty, and hundreds of other sayings, former or current, that testify to the linguistic originality of Black speakers," said Frederic G. Cassidy, chief editor of the Dictionary of American Regional English. This new edition of Black Talk includes more than 300 new words and phrases and, now more than ever, reflects the ever-changing meanings and uses of this vital and rich part of our language. In a style that is always informative and always entertaining, Geneva Smitherman takes this dictionary far beyond a list of words. Black Talk is a cultural map that charts word meanings along the highways and byways of African American life.
A highly readable collection of key articles and essays by a leading scholar on African American language and politics. Smitherman discusses the inter-relationship between African American language, culture and education.
Presenting an overview of past debates on the speech of the African Americans, this study explores the relationship between language and race, as well as common perceptions of African American Language (AAL). It is for students of African American English, language, culture and sociolinguistics, as well as the general reader.
