Isi artikel

5-year-old children from black, Afro-Caribbean and white, indigenous home backgrounds were given a test of sentence comprehension under two different testing conditions. In the first condition, sentences were presented from a pre-recorded tape of a white, female speaker employing received pronunciation and a relatively neutral delivery in terms of intonational style (R.P.); the second taped condition featured a black, female speaker employing a Jamaican style of intonation and pronunciation (J.P.). Results showed that whereas the sentence comprehension scores of black children were unaffected by intonation/pronunciation condition, white children scored significantly worse under the J.P. condition.
