Abstract:

This book addresses the phenomenon of non-American rock and pop singers
emulating an Americanized singing style for performance purposes. By taking a
novel approach to this pop cultural trend and drawing attention to the
audience, British and American students’ perceptions of English rock and pop
performances were elicited. Interviews guided by various music clips were
conducted and analyzed through a detailed qualitative content analysis. The
interviewees' responses provide important insights into social meanings
attached to Americanized voices and local British accents in the respective
genres and show how British and American attitudes toward these performance
accents differ. These perceptions and attitudes are illustrated by developing
associative fields which offer a fresh view on the notion of indexicalities.

An engaging folk linguistic investigation of a relatable everyday pop culture
phenomenon, this book makes complex sociolinguistic phenomena easily
approachable and qualitative research accessible. It is suitable for
intermediate students onward and inspires further research projects in the
field of language performances.
