Examines the differences in male and female gendered language use across two different versions of Disney’s Mulan – the original 1998 version and the modern 2020 remake. Mostly quantitative data however there is some detailed qualitative linguistic analyses of examples from script extracts. The ‘Discussion’ section features a more critical interpretation of the results, relating the findings to wider feminist concepts. This paper would be useful for those interested in the differences between male and female stereotypical language use and how this changes in modern interpretations of an older film.
