概要 In the UK, accent and speech are particularly strong markers of social identity and class status, and British vocal performers are judged (on factors inlcuding likeability, relatability, and authenticity) by the way they sing and speak. Lily Allen, a divisive figure in British popular music associated with a chav (white underclass) persona, embodies the complexities of modern Britain through her lyrics, accent, dress and other style choices. Through analysis of the language used in her songs, this paper sets out to critically examine Allen as a cultural artefact and to explore not only her cultural representation, but perhaps more importantly, her reading.
