美国饶舌音乐中黑人英语的词汇特点

The Lexical Features of Black English in the US RAP

美国饶舌乐(RAP)是仅次于摇滚乐的最受大众欢迎的音乐形式,它与美国黑人的文化生活有着不可分割的联系。因其自身所具有的文化内涵及节奏性、快速念诵的特点,在歌词的词汇部分充分体现了黑人英语在RAP中的省略、粗口和押韵等主要特色,为RAP音乐在美国的发展和流行发挥了极其重要的作用。

RAP is the most popular musical form that is second only to Rock＇n Roll in the USA, whose origin and development are closely related to the cultural life of the Blacks. Because of its innate cultural connotation and the musical features of lively rhythm and fast talking, some lexical characteristics such as omission, full of obscene language and rhyme are fully embodied in the lyrics, which play a very important part in the development of the RAP.
