Lexical analysis of artists 1



In this interview between indie/alternative rock music artist Jake Bugg and popular music magazine NME. The language that Jake Bugg uses colloquial language such as 'grumpy' and 'man', used in a context that differs to standard english. He also uses ellipsis to crate shorter, easier to pronounce words, like; 'y'know'. The indie/alternative rock prodigy also uses taboo language once ('twat'), this is then followed by a smirk and a small laugh. As i have decided the lexical register of my magazine i feel it would be beneficial if my featured artist also follows the same speech trends, which is that of colloquial yet intellectual, using a mix of both monosyllabic and polysyllabic words. However i would also like my artist to use some taboo language, like Jake Bugg does in the video embedded above.
