When this volume was originally published in 1976, it contained completely new and original essays on the language of Black speakers of English. The contributors offer different ethnic and professional perspectives, representing fields such as linguistics, psychology, anthropology, sociolinguistics, speech and communication and their essays range from the topic of African origins to social and educational consequences that relate to grammatical and phonological aspects of Black American speech and language use. Also included are discussions of the problems of definition, historical origins, and the implications of speaking a dialect in the United States, from the political, psychological and social view.The treatment is direct and often personal, revealing the political and ethnocentric views of language, the persistence of historical influences in the face of language change, and the mutual language influence of White and Black communities. The role of language in reading, listening, speaking, writing, teaching and testing is discussed. The advantages and disadvantages of being bidialectal in a monolingual society are explored in the context of the attitudes of Blacks and Whites toward the standard and vernacular varieties of English spoken in the USA. The importance of Black folklore as an important and creative means of social and political communication is demonstrated, and the process of decreolization of languages is illustrated by using both West Indian and New World pidgins and creoles.This classic volume continues to be an important part of the literature which critically appraises Black culture.

Originally published in 1984, Learning and Comprehension of Text was the outcome of a conference held in West Germany in 1981. The main goal of the conference was to promote scientific exchange between educators, cognitive scientists, linguists, and psychologists who were investigating the acquisition of information from written forms of discourse. A second goal was to promote communication about such work between German and American investigators.The chapters are arranged into three main sections. The first part includes chapters that examine some aspect of text structure or knowledge, which has been acquired about the text. Here studies are reported on how different organizations of a text affect how and what people read and remember. Also, an analysis is proposed to illustrate how a listener or reader might construct a coherent representation of a text and what types of knowledge a reader or listener acquires and uses to define a particular genre of discourse. In the second part, the chapters deal directly with the topic of learning from text. Learning is variously interpreted as change that occurs as a result of a system of processes, as a result of using one’s prior knowledge about a specific domain, and as a result of using one’s metacognitive knowledge about oneself as a learner of strategic skills. Also discussed is learning in the context of acquiring knowledge through training procedures for comprehending a text, including evaluative criteria for whether training is effective, especially where the learner is less skilled as a reader. In part three, the main themes are strategic skills and their effects on the processing of text. Various measure of such skills are explored via the use of eye-movement analysis, via inferences made during reading per se, or during active processing of connected discourse, as a result of questioning following the reading of text or by the limitations imposed by one’s information processing capacity. Today it can be read in its historical context.
