ABSTRACT
WIDYANI ANASTIKA. 2016. African American Vernacular English (AAVE) Features in Tupac Shakur’s Rap. English Literature Study Programme, Faculty of Languages and Arts, State University of Jakarta.
This study aims to find out features of African American Vernacular English (AAVE) used in Tupac Shakur’s rap and to discover how the use of AAVE varies in the lyrics. This study was conducted by using sociolinguistics theory by Coulmas (2013) and Holmes (2001). Method that was used in this study is content analysis. This study found six AAVE grammatical features in Tupac Shakur’s rap, which are copula and auxiliary absence, verbs inflection absence, tense and aspect, negatives, invariant possessive, and demonstrative pronoun “you” and “them”. AAVE lexical features found are profanities, “nigga”, the use of names and brands, 9 terms for gun, drug, jail, and money, and 8 terms related to crime acts or hard lifestyle,. The songs that use fewer AAVE features include topics of loyalty to a friend, respect for a mother and women, depression, death, love and hope, Black American issues and police violence. They are delivered in respectful, hopeful, affectionate, sad, depressed, and frustrated tone. On the other hand, songs that use more AAVE features include topics of violence, rivalry between gangs, sex and having fun, and misogynistic topics, also sadness and respect to women. They are delivered in a vulgar and straightforward way and containing a lot of boasting. AAVE is used to convey anger, hate, disappointment, intimidation, mocking, arrogance, sense of community and sense of self-pride. AAVE is also used to approach and encourage the Black listeners easier by showing friendliness and familiarity.
