Abstract :
This study concerns with the analysis of slang in Eminem?s song lyrics. This study proposes a problem what are the characteristic of slang used in Eminem?s song lyrics. This analysis is specially focused on slang language in song lyrics. One use of slang is a simple way of circumventing/avoiding social taboos. The mainstream language tends to shy away from explicitly evoking certain realities. Slang, and also the informal forms of language, permits one to talk about these realities in a special language stripped of a usual connotation in the normal register. Slang vocabularies are particularly rich in a certain domains, such as sexuality, violence, crime, and drugs.Originally, certain slang designated the speech of people involve in the criminal underworld, hooligans, bandits, criminals, etc. therefore, their vocabulary carried very vulgar connotations, and was strictly rejected by the speakers of ?proper? language. Other groups, generally those on the margins of mainstream society who were excluded or rejected by it, developed their own slangs. Slang is a language based off of shortened words; something like a contraction but used to shorten speech in a hastymanner.
