"The television is 'real'. It is immediate, it has dimension. It tells you what to think and blasts it in. It must be right. It seems so right. It rushes you on so quickly to its own conclusions your mind hasn't time to protest, 'What nonsense!'."

"The comic book is not the book. the graphic novel is not the novel. The same, of course, is true of films and television.

"However, research in the years that followed found that in many of its important features, African American Vernacular English was becoming not less, but more different from other dialects."

"But unlike European countries, America has never finished a map of the United States, only the eastern United States is covered and a few spots here and there."
Media
"An important aspect of the current situation is the strong social reaction against suggestions that the home language of African American children be used in the first steps of learning to read and write."
Home
"Well, American dialects have been studied for a hundred years or so."
Media
"And instead of getting a pepper-and-salt effect, we find very clear and sharp divisions between the dialects of the United States, which are getting more different from each other as time goes on."
Time
"We focus upon pairs of words very often which are the same in some areas and different in other areas."
