Examines how gendered language has changed between Beauty and the Beast’s original animated version in 1991 and its 2017 live-action remake. Considers both male and female language. Looks at both pragmatics (primarily politeness/impoliteness) and linguistic analysis, focusing on verb processes and evaluative adjectives. The study takes both a qualitative and quantitative approach to language analysis, however, lacks a multimodal approach to the visual features of the films. This paper would be useful for those interested in the development of stereotypically gendered language in different versions of the same film.
