RUSSIAN RAP-POETRY AS A REFLECTION OF SPIRITUAL SEARCH (BY THE EXAMPLE OF TEXTS BY D. KUZNETSOV)

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the analysis of the language units which represent the elements of spiritual search in the texts of the Russian rap artist D. Kuznetsov (Khaski). Considering the metalanguage and visual expressive means, the authors identify moral, religious and ideological attitudes that are transmitted by the poet to a large youth audience. The results of the study set the vector for further study and analysis of the rapper’s lyrics and lay the foundation for identifying the linguistic and cultural features of the discourse of rap artists. The work may be of interest to both specialists and everyone interested in linguistic poetics and the peculiarities of the language of modern poetry.
