Smitherman presents a historical guide to the uniqueness of African American English--its distinct patterns of grammar, lexicon, and verbal rituals rooted in oral tradition. Black Talk crosses boundaries of sex, age, religion, region, and social class, and provides definitions of words, sayings, and popular expressions from all segments of the African American community. www.alibris.com
