	Mike Daley - essay - Black English and rap music: a comparison
		English in reality is an equivocal range of practices; absolutely "correct" English does not exist except where it has been decreed as such by those in power.
		Black English is estimated to have 18 to 20 million living speakers (the statistic does not indicate whether this includes sometime speakers of the language), and it is most common among the lower economic strata of urban and rural dwelling African-American people in the United States.
		Black English appears to use pitch somewhat more emphatically than Standard English (which may be traced to an general African emphasis on the sonic world), but there are no instances that I know of in Black English where the meaning of a word changes as a result of a change in pitch level.

	Wallace Sonnet Project Part I
		But after several weeks the advantages of the Shakespearian and Petrarchan forms became clear to me. My new rhyme scheme was nicely symmetrical, but the rhyme words, particularly in the sestet, were too far apart to provide a satisfying sense of closure; that all-important echo of sound at the end was missing.
		Crosland goes so far as to insist that couplets are not permissable at all (unless you are Shakespeare), and that rhyme words which sound too much like other rhyme words are forbidden (thus, although "wedge" and "sedge," and "lodge" and "dodge," are permitted separately, the pairings must not occur in the same poem).
		Slant rhyme and metrical variation abound, and in some cases the form is so approximate it may seem that the only thing that makes the poem a sonnet is the poet's say-so.

		The book is divided into four sections: rhymes for baby, toddler, and schoolchild, and "All Join In," which features riddles (with clues provided among the illustrations), limericks, and tongue-twisters that reveal Denton's love of wordplay.
		Marginal illustrations with single lines of text that are tucked into the upper corner of each page and together form hidden rhymes and rhyme medleys--one for each of the Treasury's four sections--make a particularly charming touch.
		The volume is loosely arranged in four parts: rhymes to accompany the knee-dawdling of babyhood, Mother Goose golden oldies for the toddler years, action rhymes for denizens of the schoolyard, and finally, a potpourri for encouraging participation that ranges from riddles to The Owl and the Pussycat.

	[No title]
		Spenser's systematically archaic diction, E. argues, ought to be interpreted as a patriotic attempt at language enrichment, part of the wider Elizabethan practice of 'embellishing' the English tongue to bring it into parity and equal commerce with the well-established vernaculars of continental Europe.
		Most students and scholars are familiar--through the citation elements of entries in the Oxford English Dictionary if not from his works themselves--of the decisive role Shakespeare probably played in introducing new words into English, and (through the increasing popularity and cultural reach of his plays) in fixing them in regular usage.
		Alliteration, for example, works well with hard consonantal initials, and with words having a strong forward stress; mellifluously tripping French borrowings, with the vestiges of their declensional and conjugational endings and their habitual stress on the antepenult and penult, made hard work, or gibberish, of traditional English prosody.

		The simpleness of this line is offset by "What did I know, what did I know of love's austere and lonely offices?" Your students should be able to understand the "story" of the poem, but they may need help understanding the depth of emotion that the poet conveys.

		Unfortunately, though, my memory has done its own sort of erasure.) An acrostic, on the other hand, ceases to be one as soon as the left hand side fails to spell something out.
		In that respect an acrostic is a device like, say, rhyme: you can't have a full rhyme unless the rhyme is full.
		What then follows is a series of 'con's (the word, not the sound) to which one has a heightened visual, auditory and rhetorical responsiveness.
