Abstract
In this paper, the lexical and grammatical patterns of 20 highly and poorly rated documentaries of 2023 and 2024 are compared through the Multidimensional Analysis Tagger. Documentaries that are rated highly are those with a narrative discourse style. The poorly-rated ones are more informational and have a higher lexical density. The documentaries with high ratings are also less persuasive and more abstract. Statistical tests, such as ANOVA, support significant lexical and grammatical differences. The results provide an understanding of the role of linguistic choices in influencing the audience and documentary success.
