摘　　要：This paper takes the anti-language （sometimes semi-antilanguage） in Chinese raps as an example to present the anti-language and the related anti-society. Rap as a music genre landed China with the coming of reform ad opening up. In the past decades, because of its distinct characteristics, e.g., strong emotional expression, apparent resistance, rebellious spirit, fashionable languages, though it is not in the mainstream music in China, it wins gradual acceptance from the Chinese ＂GenY＂ generation. Based on Halliday＇s （1976） anti-language theory, this paper steps into the counter-cultural society by analyzing some representative raps and presents how anti-language provides a mode of resistance against the mainstream culture. This study could help readers grasp the meanings and social functions of language more accurately and accordingly have a better understanding of the functions of anti-languages and the minority social groups as well
