English

Description:

Instead of stigmatizing vernacular language as instances of "broken" and "incorrect" English, modern literary theory examines the complex cultural gestures which the vernacular represents. Drawing upon the persistent and forceful variants of standard English, this course examines the logic and use of vernacular forms, including African American, Native American, Latino American, and Asian American expressions and their functions as custodians of local culture.
