Viac o knihe

The paper explores the linguistic characteristics of the lexicons in Rap and Gospel music, challenging the perception that these genres are vastly different. By analyzing their vocabulary, the author aims to uncover any underlying similarities or notable discrepancies between the two. This research builds on a seminar presentation from July 2010, emphasizing the unique aspects of language within these musical forms and contributing to the broader study of English language varieties.
