In the case of hip-hop, the forces of top-down corporatization and
bottom-up globalization are inextricably woven. This volume takes
the view that hip-hop should not be viewed with this dichotomous
dynamic in mind and that this dynamic does not arise solely outside
of the continental US. Close analysis of the facts reveals a much
more complex situation in which market pressures, local (musical)
traditions, linguistic and semiotic intelligibility, as well as
each country's particular historico-political past conspire to
yield new hybrid expressive genres.
This exciting collection looks at linguistic, cultural and economic
aspects of hip-hop in parallel and showcases a global scope. It
engages with questions of code-switching, code-mixing, the minority
language/regional dialect vs. standard dynamic, the discourse of
political resistance, immigrant ideologies, youth and new language
varieties and will be essential reading for graduates and
researchers in sociolinguistics and discourse analysis.
