Consider the following table of results on that dropping in different age groups. Describe the distribution and discuss any changes over time you can observe. 3 An example: I don’t think that this is the way you should write it. I don’t think ø this is the way you should write it. Consider the following graph. It represents the rates of speakers using [f], [t], ø as opposed to standard θ.

Does it show in this distribution? 6 This graph compares the distribution of typical African American Vernacular (AAV) properties in the speech of a Caucasian speaker “Mike” trying to sound “black” and the distribution of those properties in African Americans and Caucasian speakers. Describe the distribution with respect to: What features reflect his successful imitation? 3 What features show more Caucasian properties? 3 How do these features differ? 2 Which types of features of AAV clearly exist in Caucasian speech? 1 Based on your answer in d, does Mike’s speech reflect a successful or unsuccessful imitation? Explain your answer. 3 Considering Mike’s distribution what kind of linguistic variable is represented in the more successful variables in Mike’s speech? 1 Give two arguments why a dialect is not a substandard variant of a language.
