Thanks to WBEZ for running
this piece. It deals with issues of unity and diversity in African American English. They talk to the right people — Baugh, Wolfram, Preston — and the article comes to the right conclusion:
“So is AAE diverse? Is it consistent? Or does it just come down to who's listening?” I ask Baugh.
His response?
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Finally, something in the popular press that gets the point across.
