“…Noteworthy exceptions to this are (i) the publications by Schneider and colleagues based on the Songkorpus (see Section 2), in which aspects such as the position of lyrics on a written-spoken/formal-informal cline (Schneider, 2022a; see also Broll & Schneider, this issue), the discursive representation of socially salient topics in lyrics (Schneider et al, 2022), or the occurrence of idioms (Amin et al, 2021) are treated, and (ii) sociolinguistic work on German rap (e.g. Androutsopoulos, 2003;Bohmann, 2010;Wiemeyer & Schaub, 2018), occasionally also involving a contrastive German-English perspective (Lüdtke, 2006). 1…”

The present contribution offers a contrastive corpus-based analysis of English and German pop lyrics. It conceptualizes lyrics as a specific text type/register and tries to identify cross-linguistic commonalities and differences. As empirical base, it uses corpora that represent the lyrics of commercially highly successful pop songs in Anglophone and German contexts. Given the similar sociocultural functions and production circumstances of English and German lyrics, the study starts from the assumption that a large-scale linguistic overlap can be traced. While indeed cross-linguistic convergence is found especially for lexical patterns in terms of topic choice, the analysis also reveals a common property of conveying a conversational feel through lexicogrammatical means. However, given the differing typological make-up of the languages contrasted, fine-grained differences emerge as regards the ways conversationality/informality is established in pop lyrics as a performed text type.

ZusammenfassungWurde mit dem Buchdruck die schriftliche Überlieferung von eigentlich mündlich tradierten Liedern intensiviert, so ging im Zuge der Digitalisierung die Überlieferung von Liedern endgültig in den Bereich schriftbasierter Medien über. Am Beispiel der Datenbank für populäre Songs Genius wird die digitale Entstehung von literaturgeschichtlich signifikanten Lied-Korpora vorgestellt (Stand 2018), mit Praktiken der Verschriftung analoger Lied-Korpora um 1800 kontrastiert und hinsichtlich ihres kollektiven Charakters erörtert.
