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.

Growth of the soul is our goal, and there are many ways to encourage that growth, such as through love, nature, healing our wounds, forgiveness, and service. The soul grows well when giving and receiving love. I nourish my soul daily by loving others and being vulnerable to their love. Love is, after all, a verb, an action word, not a noun.
Joan Borysenko, Ph.D.
