A Computational Analysis and Exploration of Linguistic Borrowings in French Rap Lyrics (2024.acl-srw)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | rap is a popular genre in the u.s. and has been used in countries far beyond the uk . linguistic borrowings are especially intriguing in countries such as the eu and europe . |
| Approach: | They manually annotate a lexicon of over 700 borrowings in the French language . they find that there are increases in the proportion of linguistic borrowings, interjections, and Niger-Congo borrowings . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method analyzes a corpus of over 8000 french rap song lyrics and shows that rap borrowings are increasing in prevalence and interjections are decreasing. |
