This study describes nonstandard syntactic and morphological forms used by 45 poor, urban, 4- to 5.5-year-old African American boys and girls. Distributional analyses revealed three subgroups distinguished by the percentage frequencies of occurrence of utterances containing specific forms, and by the predominant types used by each group. Implications for characterizing the linguistic productions of young African American children are discussed.
本研究描述了45名年龄在4至5.5岁、来自城市贫困地区的非裔美国男孩和女孩所使用的非标准句法和形态形式。分布分析揭示了三个亚组，这些亚组通过包含特定形式的话语出现的百分比频率以及每组使用的主要类型来区分。文中还讨论了这些结果对描述非裔美国幼儿语言产出特征的意义。
