What is Iconicity in Rap Music Analysis about?

The document discusses iconicity in rap music and analyzes how rap can be considered an anti-language. It examines the iconic use of language in rap lyrics through a corpus of 100 songs from 1979 to 1999. Key aspects analyzed include idiophones, letters, onomatopoeia, rhyme, metonymy, eye dialect and word formation processes to investigate the extent that iconicity drives lexicalization and how the iconic principle can be reinterpreted through author-listener interaction.
