Abstract Details

2006, Master of Arts, Miami University, Speech Pathology and Audiology.
This study examined the attitudes and perceptions of African American college students regarding African American English (AAE) and codeswitching between AAE and Standard American English (SAE). The study included a survey that was distributed to students at Miami University (Oxford, OH), as well as an empirical language analysis of African American students during a speech and during an informal interview. Results of the survey revealed that students value the ability to codeswitching for social mobility. The empirical language analysis of codeswitching was determined to be unsuccessful. Limitations for the study are also presented as well as implications for future research.
