Black English Vernacular--need a little help, please

[starhealer]

I'm doing some research on Black English Vernacular for my Theories, Grammar and Composing class. So far I've found about five book/journal sources (one dealing with the lexicon--rawh), but I was wondering if anyone knows any decent journal sources or sites that have some good research or studies into BEV.

I'm particularly interested in the grammatical structure, but anything would be helpful. Thanks ever so much.

That wasn't quite what I was looking for, but thank you anyhow. Interesting site, to say the least.

Anthropology is one of my favorite subjects and Black English Vernacular has been discussed in the linguistics portion of many of my cultural anthropology classes.

I did some web searches for linguistics using black english vernacular and came up with a few sites.

I am not if these will help or not, you may also want to the anthropology department in your college for more information.
