Abstract. This study analyzes sexist dialogue directed at female characters in romantic comedy films using a quantitative content analysis method. The research was conducted on three romantic comedies: "10 Things I Hate About You", "(500) Days of Summer", and "Superbad". The study aims to highlight the categories of sexist remarks present in romantic comedies. A reliability test was performed, showing a high agreement among coders in identifying categories of sexist dialogue.

Abstract:
Abstract Full of men and women in love, Shakespeare's comedies have triggered abundant discussions of the dramatist's treatment of romantic relationships, which, however, nearly ignore the importance of language use. This pragmatic reading of Shakespearean comedies undertakes to explore the speech act of promising of characters in love. By incorporating quantitative data and qualitative insights, the research outlines the attributes and distribution of promising in four comedies, compares gender differences in the use of promising, and scrutinises the change of promising during the shift in lo

Abstract:
Many Hollywood romantic comedy films feature a scene of a woman being trained in social etiquette practices. Social etiquette education for women is seen as the end goal of serving their male counterpart (Simonian, 2010). More recently, this trope can be seen in romantic comedies featuring non-white male protagonists. This paper asks how this message promotes normative gender and racial ideologies though media representation in the top-grossing Hollywood romantic comedies? The purpose of this work is to map out the path of protagonists in romantic comedy films seeking social mobility and the i

It reports on findings of a case-study on implicatures in these two romantic comedies (Desilla 2009/2012/2014). Both genuine and feigned misunderstandings are found in the two films. Inter alia, the analysis will show that misunderstandings can serve comedic and/or narrative functions, the latter pertaining to both characterisation and, more crucially, plot ad

Abstract:
Six decades after the romantic comedy emerged as a Hollywood genre in 1934, the first romantic comedies with a central lesbian couple, including Marita Giovanni’s Bar Girls and Rose Troche’s Go Fish, were released in 1994. This study argues that Bar Girls and Go Fish represent the first in a group of films whose numbers and similarities enable their consideration as a romantic comedy sub-genre, namely the ‘lesbian romantic comedy’. This study identifies and analyses this sub-genre. It contends that these films have emerged as the predominant (and perhaps only) form of mainstream lesbian featur

The mass media portrays traditional forms of marital status in contemporary films despite changing demographics. This thesis argues that romantic relationships are presented as a normative and significant part of completing a predetermined life course in adulthood. Specifically, recent films are entrenched with ideological messages regarding heterosexual marriage and fail to represent singles adequately. In Canadian society, legal marriage is becoming less frequent, common law relationships are increasing, family formations are more diverse, and individuals are happily choosing to be single. T

Bret&oacute;n de los Herreros incorporated a novel form of romantic heroism, by combining the features of the romantic hero of the tragic drama into a person of neoclassic virtues.
