ивості на синтаксичному рівні
Перейдемо до розгляду синтаксичних особливостей, що зустрічаються в текстах пісень виконавців репу:
Характерно використання структури питального пропозиції у формі розповідного:
What_he gonna do? =What is he going to do?
Tell me why_the road turns, why it turns? =Why does the road turn?
Where_you find me?
_You want war? I take you to war
_You owe a nigga? _You don't wanna pay him?
What_you mean you don't know? baby where_you headed ?
Така структура питальних пропозицій робить мову простий, створює ефект живого діалогу. До того ж, немає необхідності у використанні допоміжних дієсловах do, does, did.
