I have found much about what is standard English. Gee explains the differences between primary and power discourses. Delpit discusses how students can bridge the gaps and gives ways that they can evolve to whatever discourse they want with the right tools. Fecho looks at the idea of the effects that come with changing peoples discourses. And I cant remember what my other articles are really about because I don't have them with me. Im not really sure what gaps still exist. Maybe more of an explanation of exactly what standard english is and not as much about the effects of changing peoples primary language. My research will help to fill this gap by getting more information into the topic and better examining and explaining what standard english is.
