| Notes | Early African American Vernacular English study; original film titled "Black Slang". The original film soundtrack is out of sync. The researcher's first name seems to be 'Addie' or 'Annie'; the off-camera interviewer addresses her by her first name. She explains that she has gathered 500 slang vocabulary words so far and has collected them in a file; that she is compiling a dictionary; and that some slang words change in meaning. |
