- Inhalt
- In this seminar, we will explore if and how artists producing lyrics in music (i.e. singers, rappers, MCs etc.) differ in their 'artificial' or performed musical language production from the language they use in other (potentially equally 'artificial' or performed) speech events like interviews or films. We will also try to trace British- vs. American-oriented phases in British bands and more fine-grained regional accent features and possible changes over time. In addition, the language of popular music will be integrated into greater theoretical frameworks on spoken vs. written language, register studies, and models differentiating between 'language of proximity' vs. 'language of distance' (cf. Koch & Oesterreicher 1985ff., Biber 1988, Werner 2019). Furthermore, we plan to discuss the use of popular music for classroom teaching.
All students must be willing to report in some detail (with a fellow student) on an artist or a band. We want to analyse actual speech and song samples in class, where the two presenters will guide the remaining participants regarding accent or dialect features or politically interesting facets they wish to discuss. The seminar will take place in the biggest downtown lecture hall (which normally sits 400 students and should sit the 18 seminar participants safely even in corona times); this lecture theatre is equipped with the necessary technology to play video and music clips.
Term papers can be written on the above subjects and/or based on corpora of pop lyrics, which are available in the Bamberg English Department.
