摘要:美国定量社会语言学在其描述性、理论性和方法论发展方面大量借鉴了非裔美国人言语界的数据,但回报相对较少。言语界对社会语言学的贡献包括开发用于分析时态标记、社会阶层、风格、叙述和言语事件的可变规则和框架,以及学生和教师的研究主题和就业。社会语言学可以为非裔美国人言语界做出的贡献——但做得还不够——包括引导非裔美国人进入语言学、在我们的著作中代表非裔美国人,以及参与法院、工作场所和学校,特别是在阅读和语言艺术的教学方面。 1996 年 12 月 18 日奥克兰学校董事会通过“Ebonics”决议后,最后一个问题引起了公众的关注。目前研究者和被研究者之间的不平等伙伴关系在语言学领域很普遍。建议将服务回报作为本领域教学和研究的一般原则和实践。 (非裔美国白话英语、黑人学、社会语言学应用、社区服务、方言阅读器、变异理论)
ABSTRACT American quantitative sociolinguistics has drawn substantially on data from the African American speech community for its descriptive, theoretical, and methodological development, but has given relatively little in return. Contributions from the speech community to sociolinguistics include the development of variable rules and frameworks for the analysis of tense-aspect markers, social class, style, narratives, and speech events, plus research topics and employment for students and faculty. The contributions which sociolinguistics could make in return to the African American speech community – but has not done sufficiently – include the induction of African Americans into linguistic, the representation of African Americans in our writings, and involvement in courts, workplaces, and schools, especially with respect to the teaching of reading and the language arts. This last issue has surged to public attention following the Oakland School Board's “Ebonics” resolutions on Dec. 18, 1996. The present unequal partnership between researcher and researched is widespread within linguistics. Suggestions are made for establishing service in return as a general principle and practice of teaching and research in our field.
