Examines the speech of male and female characters and how language features have changed over time in six Disney films from 1950-2016. There is qualitative analysis of specific linguistic features across each film with script excerpts being provided where appropriate. Politeness/impoliteness features are also examined. Quantitative analysis provides a general insight into how language use for male and female characters has developed over time. This thesis would be useful for those interested in how stereotypical gendered language trends have changed over time in Disney’s princess films.
