“…This links to information gathered in the literature review. The study in which one specific TV show was observed, the Bubble Guppies, served to prove as to how a child grows in terms of pragmatics and sociolinguistics when exposed to media as it allows children to more easily contextualize phrases and words (Atoofi, 2015). They came to the conclusion that the show could propagate intellectual growth, directly correlating to the student survey conducted, with more than half of the participants believing TV shows to affect their linguistic capabilities.…”

“…Saeid Atoofi, a doctorate holder in Applied Linguistics from the University of California, Los Angeles, provides specific information on the effect of mainstream adolescent TV shows, specifically the Bubble Guppies in this case, on a child's growth at an intellectual level (2015). Sociolinguistics and pragmatics, which are complex divisions of linguistics, are frequently defined as the attempt to learn about the meaning of words or sentences given a specific social context (Atoofi, 2015). It then introduces the definition of the social semiotic method, which is the primary method in which this study was conducted as it explores the dynamic between the content and performance capabilities (Atoofi, 2015).…”

This study found that the show could serve to propagate both intellectual and mental health on a neural level, directly connecting to how children's TV shows affect an adolescent in terms of physiological growth and providing a multiplicity of evidence to prove their theory in a specific field of linguistics (Atoofi, 2015).…”

This study aims to focus on the gradual effects various media have on a child’s upbringing in the past few decades and to explore the relationship between children TV shows and the intellectual growth of this select group of youths. In the past years, various television and visual entertainment sources have been garnering increased popularity, especially among children, with the specific effects of these TV shows on children's intellectual growth rarely being called into question. Thus, a study will be conducted through a survey, with the selection of participants being limited to those that have watched this media at a young age. This survey would then be incorporated into a correlational investigation, comparing the responses with an analysis of the TV shows that determines the educational density of the first season of the most popular media among children from 2000 to 2012. After analyzing the perceptions and educational achievement of the survey participants, I discovered that there is a strong correlation in terms of various perceptions of these TV shows and the educational content with a slight relationship between the educational and intellectual content of the shows. This would prove to support existing data while also having the potential of influencing further examination within this field.

“…In addition, the artists also occasionally wear stunning ethnic outfits and brought traditional instruments to accompany their performance. The visual and art designs have rich semiotics (signs and symbols) that function effectively to accompany body languages of the artists and textual language of the verses to deliver entertaining and meaningful messages (Atoofi, 2015).…”

Animation is an ideal resource for storytelling, and in the audiovisual world it allows transmitting messages and emotions beyond the senses. Therefore, the present research aims to analyze the research of the last ten years on semiotics and audiovisual narrative in animated series and films. To achieve this, a systematic review (SLR) of scientific articles was carried out in the Scopus, EBSCO, ScienceDirect and ProQuest databases; in the Dialnet and Redalyc repositories; and the Google Scholar search engine. After the inclusion and exclusion process, which contemplated criteria such as language, field of study and year of publication, 42 research papers published between 2012 and 2022 were found. Among the main results, it stands out that most of the studies belong to Spain and that there was an increase in articles between 2018 and 2021. Regarding limitations, the lack of publications in Latin America and languages other than English and Spanish were emphasized. In conclusion, semiotics and audiovisual narrative in animation is a moderately studied field and its importance is evidenced by the deep research of the authors.
