Tracy Conner, Janice Jackson and I presented a paper on "Dialect Awareness: Foundations for Effective Education of African American English-speaking Children" at the American Speech-Language and Hearing Association annual meeting in Atlanta on Thursday, November 15, 2012. The paper was based on an article to appear in Developmental Psychology, January 2013, a themed edition on "Deficit versus Difference? Interpreting Diverse Developmental Paths" (and is already available on-line). As part of Tracy's answers to an engaged audience, she was able to refer people to her poster in the following session: New Diagnostic Criterion: Obligatory Possessive Marking in African American English.
