The Death of Black English: Divergence and Convergence in Black and White Vernaculars
For some time, a view has prevailed among American sociolinguists that Black and White dialects in the United States, following a general trend towards assimilation of ethnic varieties, have been converging, becoming more alike. Recently, several American scholars have put forth the opposite hypothesis of linguistic "divergence." This book examines in critical detail a variety of evidence that bears upon the "divergence hypothesis, " and it surveys as well aspects of the political implications of the construct. The author concludes that the evidence is far from sufficient to support a strong divergence theory. If Black English turns out to be an exception to the supposed prevailing tendency of minority speech varieties to assimilate to more mainstream varieties, it is only because the relationship seems to be essentially static: Black and White vernaculars in the United States appear to be diverging with respect to some features - major and minor - but converging with respect to others.
