description This research paper examines the representations and identities constructed in the HBO television series 'Girls', which is considered one of the most groundbreaking television series of recent years due to its realistic and diverse female characters. In this paper, I analyse relevant examples from the first season of the series. The analysis is based on Critical Discourse Studies and various theories of gender and language. The main focus is not only on the linguistic construction of representations and identities, but also on multimodality. In addition to analysing how these linguistic and multimodal features affect representation, it is also considered how the series challenges today's norms of women in media. Tämä tutkielma käsittelee naisten representaatiota ja identiteetin rakentumista televisiosarjassa Girls, jota on pidetty yhtenä viime vuosien uraauurtavimmista televisiosarjoista. Kriitikot ovat ylistäneet sarjan realistisuutta ja monipuolisia naishahmoja. Tutkielmassani käsittelen olennaisia esimerkkejä sarjan ensimmäiseltä tuotantokaudelta käyttäen hyväkseni kriittistä diskurssianalyysiä ja nojaten erinäisiin kielen ja sukupuolen teorioihin. Kiinnitän huomiota paitsi representaation ja identiteetin rakentumiseen kielellisesti myös multimodaalisesti ja arvioin, miten nämä keinot vaikuttavat sarjan luomiin representaatioihin. Lisäksi analysoin, kuinka sarja haastaa muita vallitsevia naiseuden representaatioita tämän päivän mediassa.
