Report of the Spanish National Observatory on Gender Violence. Her research on
language and gender has focused on denouncing, on the one hand, the sexist
usage of the language in the Spanish media and, on the other hand, normative
linguistic policies and dictionaries of Spanish. She has also led proposals for
non-sexist use of Spanish. As a member of IGALA Advisory Council, she might
help to promote the creation of stronger research networks of language and
gender in the Spanish state, and, very particularly, to foster lobbies able to
raise language and gender issues into the political arena.<b><span
