The paper treats the role of the vocabulary connected to violence in the French rap. We will verify the hypothesis that this kind of vocabulary (vulgarisms and words semantically associated with violence) in our corpus is predominantly accentuated in the lyrics by the means of homophonies. This hypothesis is based on the premise that words with some kind of homophony are naturally emphasized in the flow of the rapper (Barret 2008). We are going to use the corpus of 97 songs by three interprets — Diam’s, MC Solaar and Rohff. We will use three marks : first mark concerns the vulgarisms, the second words semantically associated with violence and the third all the homophonies in the corpus. If the hypothesis is confirmed, the conclusion, that violent aspects are objectively highlighted and therefore more prominent in French rap, follows.
