Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Bachelor Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,3, Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel, language: English, abstract: The question that will be addressed in this thesis is whether dialect choice in soul music from Memphis and Detroit was, with regard to commercial success, stronger than the mostly homogeneous character of African American Vernacular English (AAVE) across all regions of the US.A detailed linguistic analysis of a selection of songs from Motown and Stax will try to investigate the extent to which that artists from Detroit did adapt their language habits to their surrounding white fellow citizens. This might be even more interesting for northern blacks who moved away from their dialect roots in the South.With respect to a separation from the white population, which can at least be assumed for the artists' childhood and early adulthood, it appears necessary to look at certain features that were either kept or lost. In addition, the analysis will try to connect the commercial success of all included songs and artists to the language habits of the performers.First, some background for this paper's study will be provided, including the social implications of AAVE and the reference studies for the analysis. Then, the relevant phonological and grammatical variables will be listed and explained. These variables will be, with regard to the Motown and Stax data sets, analyzed in detail. Finally, the interpretation of the results will try to find an answer to the thesis of this paper.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Master's Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,0, Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel, language: English, abstract: This thesis will address whether regional variation across members of the hip-hop community is measurable in terms of regionally distinct phonological and syntactical properties.As a starting point, New York City has been selected as it marks the origin of hip-hop. Philadelphia, as part of Labov's Mid-Atlantic region and Jones' self-coined 'Northeast region', which itself is said to be characterized by 'nonhomogeneity' (Jones 2015: 428), serves as a point of reference for the comparison of distinct regional features. Labov (2001: 121) also refers to the 'Philadelphia dialect area', which is clearly separated from New York in the North.The data for the analysis will be retrieved from randomly chosen songs performed by selected African-American hip-hop artists who are representative of their respective city and who can be considered authentic members of the local hip-hop community. Further information on the selection will be provided later on. First, the theoretical background to the study of this thesis will be provided, mainly refer-ring to the role of regionality in AAVE (as African American Vernacular English) by giving an overview of earlier and current research. Second, after narrowing down the selection of artists and their songs, the relevant phonological and syntactical features will be listed and explained before they are analysed for both Philadelphia and New York City. Finally, the results will be interpreted and discussed with respect to the guiding question of this thesis.
