With scientific aid of well-known concepts by linguists such as Green in particular but also Wolfram, Schilling-Estes, Mufwene and Poplack we want to focus on specific grammatical features of AAVE and to what extend these can be recovered in the Hip-Hop subgenre of American West Coast Gangsta Rap. A small but significant text corpus of four representative songs (added to the appendix in the shape of lyrics) cover the source for a quantitative and qualitative evaluation. The given text shall give a short overview about the origin and different theories on AAVE first and will further on primarily adapt the characteristic linguistic features L. Green and Wolfram \u0026amp; Schilling-Estes worked out and apply them to our little song text corpus.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46328372396183,"sku":"9783640840250","price":2154.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783640840250.webp?v=1768712708","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/african-american-vernacular-english-within-american-gangsta-rap-9783640840250","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
