Abstract

In the following presentation we will consider Black English to be a structural system distinctly different from Standard English, and we will maintain this supposition regardless of whether we are considering spoken or written language and whether, in addition, we prefer to regard Northern, Southern, or British English as different language systems or not. As we hope to make clear, our concern will be exclusively with education and the technology of training strategies which relate to the conditions under which any two language systems are to be learned.
