Disney and Pixar films are beloved by children and adults alike.
However, what linguistic messages, both positive and negative, do
these films send to children about gender roles? How do characters
of different genders talk, and how are they talked about? And do
patterns of representation change over time? Using an accessible
mix of statistics and in-depth qualitative analysis, the authors
bring their expertise to the study of this very popular media
behemoth. Looking closely at five different language features -
talkativeness, compliments, directives, insults, and apologies -
the authors uncover the biases buried in scripted language, and
explore how language is used to construct tropes of femininity,
masculinity, and queerness. Working with a large body of films
reveals wide-scale patterns that might fly under the radar when the
films are viewed individually, as well as demonstrating how
different linguistic tools and techniques can be used to better
understand popular children's media.
