230507 African-American English: Language and Power in Music (S) (WiSe 2022/2023)
Contents, comment
-
In this seminar, we will be looking specifically at African-American Vernacular English (alternatively known as Black English or Ebonics) on the levels of syntax, lexis and phonology. With this knowledge, we will then explore the cultural and historical archives of music by artists from Robert Johnson to Billie Holiday, The Sugar Hill Gang to Kendrick Lamar in an attempt to to better understand the black experience in the United States and the important role that language takes in the process of cultural production.
