Abstract

Abstract This article presents a summary of African-American English (AAE) for the speech-language pathologist. An overview of research on AAE and of the specific linguistic characteristics of AAE is presented. Examples of lexical, phonological, grammatical, and prosodic features of AAE and their implications for assessment are discussed. Linguistic variation within AAE is also described. Educational issues surrounding AAE and teachers' attitudes concerning student use of AAE are considered. The challenges in assessment that AAE presents for the SLP are highlighted along with resources for further information regarding AAE.
