In studying the perception of differences between Black English and Standard English by 48 first-grade, urban, Black children, BE and SE were partitioned into content, i.e., syntax and lexicon, and style, i.e., suprasegmentals or prosodic features of phonology. A discrimination task was designed to test whether the subjects could perceive differences in terms of style or content or both. Accurate discriminations were related to language variety preference and school and home-street register maintenance. The results indicated BE style to be as significantly related to BE preference and register maintenance as BE content when the two were separated.
在研究48名城市一年级黑人儿童对黑人英语和标准英语差异的感知时，黑人英语和标准英语被划分为内容（即句法和词汇）和风格（即语音的超音段或韵律特征）。设计了一项辨别任务，以测试受试者是否能在风格、内容或两者方面感知差异。准确的辨别与语言变体偏好以及学校和家庭-街道语域保持有关。结果表明，当将黑人英语的风格和内容分开时，黑人英语风格与黑人英语偏好和语域保持的相关性与黑人英语内容一样显著。
