Abstract
In this presentation, attendees will be able to discuss "pronunciation" not only from the viewpoint of Phonetics, but also from the Sociolinguistics'. As a student of Black English Vernacular, I will focus on how the African-American's dialect's pronunciation and structure that differ from Standard English's and oftentimes are looked down upon and/or given as erroneous.
PS.:
Stereotyping, Prejudice, and Lengua Franca are also to be talked about throughout the lecture.
*The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.*
