- 요약African American women were historically excluded from ideas about who "counts" as a speaker of African American English (AAE), and their speech behavior was oversimplified as white accommodating. Furthermore, early literature on language and gender tended to focus on the speech of white women, rendering African American women nearly invisible. My dissertation seeks to redress these epistemic injustices. I examine the linguistic expression of respectability and respectability politics among African American women in Sacramento, CA. Using speakers' narratives, I uncover three logics women use to orient to the respectability regime, which I call Traditionalist, Radicalist, and Black Bourgeoisie.In the first paper, I show how Traditionalist women use features of the California Vowel Shift (CVS) to meet the expectation that Black women should adhere to dominant white standards of language. In the second paper, I show that Radicalists refuse participation in CVS -- actively rejecting the white gaze -- and show how one Radicalist, who produces a higher and fronter DRESS and TRAP, re-appraises the value of African American English in the linguistic economy. In the third paper, I show how Bougie Black women draw on established meanings of CVS features and African American Vowel System (AAVS) features to generate new indexical meanings. I then show how one Bougiespeaker produces a wide phonetic range for DRESS encompassing both CVS and AAVS and TRAP in line with CVS to challenge the limits of the meanings of Black upper-middle class through bricolage. Across all three papers, I discuss the semiotic resources African American women use to perform these modes of respectability, including hairstyles, ways of dressing, tastes, and education. I conclude with a discussion of how African American women work within and beyond models of personhood to imagine new possibilities for Black female personhood.
