Abstract

This paper proposes a linguistic outline of modern italian songs. As shown by a morphological-syntactic survey, the style of most important italian singer-songwriters is close to spoken language, even though dotted from time to time with some grammatically unexpected (or 'poetic') solutions. However, modern italian songs show different degrees of proximity to spoken language according to the genres (pop-liric, rock, rap), even if some linguistic phenomena, as it is pointed out, are banned anyway. To some extent, this is probably due to the specific feature of modern songs, that is its commercial and public-oriented nature.
