The largely unexplained relationship between stylistic vari- ation and dialect differentiation in urban American English is discussed in terms of five current assumptions made by socio- linguists in recent years. Implications of such assumptions are drawn for language use and language development in inner city schools. Three general guidelines emerge: (i) it is desirable for teachers to encourage the natural development of more formal dialect variants for all of their students with full acceptance of the validity of the less formal dialects that all childrenuse; (ii) teachers should be trained to understand and to accept the in- formal styles used by all of the students they encounter; and (iii) urban Americans should be encouraged to recognize the emer- gence of dialect differences in inter-ethnic communication for what they, in fact, are: an indication of developing friendship and informality.
