The Verbatim Undergraduate Society in Linguistics presents Rap linguistics: An intro to the language science in and behind hip hop music. The leading music genre known as rap is dominated by language. This talk relates this creatively flourishing art form to language science. We will examine the manipulation of sounds, words, grammar and meaning in rap, and what it reveals about language in the mind and in society.
