Pinnacle Academic Press Proceedings Series, 2025, vol. 1, 289-295

Abstract: Hip-Hop Language (HHL), as a prevalent sociolinguistic phenomenon, has received considerable academic attention. African American English (AAE), a distinct linguistic variety predominantly used within communities of color, demonstrates continuous innovation in both grammar and vocabulary. This paper examines the sociocultural construction of identities rooted in AAE and the articulation of indigenous cultural values through HHL. Drawing on interdisciplinary perspectives encompassing philosophy, cultural studies, and musicology, the study illuminates the deep connections between the linguistic features of HHL and its global cultural influence in recent decades. Furthermore, it traces the development of HHL and explores its broader sociolinguistic implications.
