Abstract
The places where people live within urban environments reveal economic and social differences within society.In that sense, minorities are included or excluded from spatial limits. . For their part, songs have always been reflections of social history, and in this case, they are not an exception. Using Critical Discourse Analysis and applying Halliday’s (2004) systemic functional grammar,, this article analyzes the discursive representation of urban space in songs in the discography of the French band Zebda.Downloads
