Although non-standard dialects and their implications for education are receiving much current attention, most treatments of child dialect, when not pure linguistic description, concentrate on analysis of supposed verbal and conceptual deficiencies of the children. The present paper, in contrast to such studies, combines linguistic and sociolinguistic approaches to dialect investigation: it is an examination of a subset of Black English, namely that spoken by children of a county in Florida. The paper discusses the linguistic composition of Florida Child Black English, as well as such sociolinguistic topics as bidialectism, reading problems, and reasons behind reports of the children's non-fluency
