Dr. John Baugh, a professor of education and
linguistics at Stanford University, said recogniz
ing the linguistic legacy of American slavery is key
to understanding the ebonies controversy.
Baugh, who has studied ebonies, or
African-American Vernacular English (AAVE),
for 25 years, said most people are not aware
of the unique linguistic heritage of African-
Americans. He said they do not understand
the difference between African-American
slaves and other immigrants who came to
America and mastered standard English.
“The Europeans came over with the bene
fit of bringing the language of their old coun
try,” he said. “Even though they were poor,
they came here as part of a linguistically co
hesive community.”
Baugh said it was no accident no African lan
guage survived the Atlantic crossing.
“It was intentional on the part of the slave
traders to separate languages to prevent com
munication and uprisings,” he said.
Baugh said slaves and their descendants
were denied access to literacy by law or pro
vided inferior education.
“Other immigrants were allowed to attend
public schools where they acquired the norms
of standard English.” Baugh said.
Baugh said for a long time, the non-standard
English used by some African-Americans was
called Black English. In 1975, the concept of
“If we can provide fair
educational diagnostics
that do not provide
misleading evidence, it
would be very helpful.”
— Dr. John Baugh
Professor of education and linguistics
Stanford University
ebonies was introduced by a group of African-
American social scientists. They objected to the
term “Black English” because of its association
with English, so they combined “ebony” with
“phonics” to create the term “ebonies.”
“Since then, a variety of definitionsei
and linguists therefore have been reluct;
use the term,” he said.
Baugh said a recent controversy
land, Calif, emerged as a result of com|
definitions for the term “ebonies” anda
on the part of the Oakland school syste:
receive money for bilingual education
the federal government.
He said federal law allows grants for si
whose native language was not English
ever, the money is not intended forusersc
standard English.
Baugh said the Oakland school boat
fined "ebonies” as a linguistic systenu
than English.
“From that standpoint, it is just likeSp
Vietamanese or Russian and, therefore,?
for federal money,” he said.
Baugh said he would like to propose
ferent perspective in which society wilh
linguistic differences divide it and instead
of ways to unify the country.
“If we can provide fair educationaldiaj
tics that do not provide misleading evide:
would be very helpful,” he said. “Andif*
reduce the misdiagnosis of students fort
standard English is not native, we cant
serve their educational needs.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — For the
first time in his four-year investiga
tion, Independent Counsel Kenneth
Starr will publicly lay out his case
against President
Clinton — in a
congressional fo
rum riven with
partisan politics.
Starr’s motives
and tactics, as
much as the pres
ident’s actions,
will be the focus
of the House Ju
diciary Commit
tee hearing set
for Thursday.
Democrats
plan ‘to portray
the independent
counsel as a right-
wing prosecutor
on a rampage
against Clinton in
concert with the president’s politi
cal opponents. For Republicans,
the hearing represents the best op
portunity for Starr to make his case
forcefully against Clinton.
In his impeachment report to
CLINTON
the House, Starr accused the
president of 11 offenses that he
considers impeachable and al
leged a pattern of lies by Clinton
and his loyalists in the Monica
Lewinsky case.
Former Iran-Contra prosecutor
Lawrence Walsh, a strong critic of
Starr for pursuing the Lewinsky al
legations, said, “I think his actions
deserve all the scrutiny he’s get
ting, but I’m not at all sure Starr
won’t do well.
“The sympathy of the public
during a televised hearing is with
the witness. ... I think of the ap
pearance of Oliver North, who ran
away with the congressional hear
ing in Iran-Contra.”
Starr is no stranger to tough
questions in a tense environ
ment. As President Bush’s solic
itor general, he took them for
years from Supreme Court jus
tices. Nonetheless, he is vulner
able on several points:
—He aggressively investigated
the Lewinsky matter before get
ting formal authorization from
the Justice Department, having
Lewinsky’s friend, Linda Tripp,

record a conversation with the
former intern. Attorney General
Janet Reno did not approve an ex
pansion of Starr’s mandate until
Jan. 16.
—When Starr’s prosecutors
confronted Lewinsky Jan. 16, she
asked to speak to her lawyer. Fear
ful that targets of their probe might
be tipped off, Starr’s investigators
told Lewinsky any deal for immu
nity from prosecution was null and
void if she called her attorney. Jus
tice Department regulations say a
person’s lawyer must be present
for discussions involving an im
munity deal.
—Tripp, the prosecutor’s star
witness who triggered the Lewin
sky probe by secretly taping the
former intern’s admissions of a
presidential affair, is herself un
der scrutiny. Starr is probing
whether her tapes were tam
pered with and whether Tripp
lied about them when she testi
fied the tapes she turned over to
prosecutors were originals. The
FBI has concluded some of the
tapes are in fact duplicates.
