Madonna Studies is a term which has been used to refer to a development of a field in several studios since late 1980s.
 One writer described the "institutionalization of a major subdivision of American media studies into Madonna studies".
 The field related to the study of and interpretation of the work of American pop musician Madonna using an interdisciplinary approach incorporating cultural studies and media studies.
 A notable compendium of essays titled "The Madonna Connection" was published in 1992.
 Controversy over this field of study stemmed from discussions over the intellectual worth of pursuing academic inquiry into a pop musician, with some arguing the field was nothing more than pop cultural commentary.

Research into the many possible relationships, intersections and tensions between language and gender is diverse.
 It crosses disciplinary boundaries, and, as a bare minimum, could be said to encompass work notionally housed within applied linguistics, linguistic anthropology, conversation analysis, cultural studies, feminist media studies, feminist psychology, gender studies, interactional sociolinguistics, linguistics, mediated stylistics, sociolinguistics and media studies.
 In methodological terms, there is no single approach that could be said to 'hold the ﬁeld'.
 Discursive, poststructural, ethnomethodological, ethnographic, phenomenological, positivist and experimental approaches can all be seen in action during the study of language and gender, producing and reproducing what Susan Speer has described as 'different, and often competing, theoretical and political assumptions about the way discourse, ideology and gender identity should be conceived and understood'.
 As a result, research in this area can perhaps most usefully be divided into three main areas of study: first, there is a broad and sustained interest in the varieties of speech associated with a particular gender; second, there is a related interested in the social norms and conventions that (re)produce gendered language use (a variety of speech (or sociolect) associated with a particular gender is sometimes called a genderlect); and third, there are studies that focus on the contextually specific and locally situated ways in which gender is constructed and operationalized.
 The study of gender and language in sociolinguistics and gender studies is often said to have begun with Robin Lakoff's 1975 book, "Language and Woman's Place", as well as some earlier studies by Lakoff.
 The study of language and gender has developed greatly since the 1970s.
 Prominent scholars include Deborah Tannen, Penelope Eckert, Janet Holmes, Mary Bucholtz, Kira Hall, Deborah Cameron, and others.
 The 1995 edited volume "Gender Articulated: Language and the Socially Constructed Self" is often referred to as a central text on language and gender.
