 Kool A.D.’s use of language:


When analysing Kool A.D’s column, “How to Pay for a Baby”, I learned that A.D. uses colloquialism and slang diction to expose his information to his chosen audience in an idiolect that they can comprehend. Through his expressive choice of words it is very evident that Kool A.D. is trying to get a humorous reaction out of his audience. For example, in the text the author uses phrases like, “Hella dangly things”. While his choice of words and phrases might seem different and quite humorous the almost hidden meaning behind his work, is quite brilliant. Throughout the text, A.D. is critical to society. He questions how the world we live in works, and makes it sound quite silly. To portray his message to his target audience he choses to use slang, such as: “What’s even crazier is that you need money to even live indoors. Like it’s hella empty building in the world.…hella different tasks…of fake a** currency your weak a**  country…” He uses this accent to communicate his theme, and stress his point in this column. By using this language A.D. is able to grab the attention of his audience and pull them into his thoughts, in a way that the reader can accept.
