AB The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze how a renowned song can cover different mode strategies; textually and visually. To observe this, Beyonce's "If I were a boy" (2008) will be studied. By relying on Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the song is going to be investigated under the approach which emphasizes the critical aspects of the modality, deictic expressions and hypothesizing -together with- the use of key markers of visual modality as the size of frame, perspective and social distance, we will be able to state if multimodality, "a theory which looks at the many modes that people use to communicate not just through writing but also through speaking, gesture, gaze and visual forms," (Kress 2015) contributes or not to spreading of sexist stereotypes.
