Meeting Description:

Studies that connect language and gender date back many decades. The first
ones analyzed the differential features of female discourse versus male
discourse, illustrating the existence of their corresponding stereotypes
(Eckert 1989, Lakoff 1975, Trudgill 1996). These stereotypes contributed to
the reproduction of inequality associated with genders, with the primacy of
the masculine and the submission of the feminine, both immersed in a
patriarchal order that defined two distinctive territories: the public sphere
for men and the private sphere for women (Arneil 2001, Bengoechea 2009 and
2010, Lakoff 2008, Siltanen & Stanworth 1984, Talbot 2003). However, the
emergence of women in public areas has forced a reorientation of this issue.
Proof of this was the publishing, in the last two decades, of manuals and
institutional guides for the avoidance of sexist language, for instance, in
Spanish (García Meseguer 1998, Gobierno de Chile 2016, Guerrero Salazar et al.
2010, Instituto para la Mujer 2006 and 2008, Murillo Ávila et al. 2014).
Currently, the demand for rights by women and non-binary minorities (Butler
1993, 1997, 2006; Petchesky 2009) is driving a growing number of speakers to
create or accept neological forms that are conceived as inclusive (Jimenez
Rodrigo et al. 2011, Ramirez Gelbes & Gelormini Lezama 2019 and 2020, Sczesny
2015). How are these different groups represented in diverse discursive
genres? How is gender inequality reproduced or defied in discourse? What is
the diachronic development of this phenomenon? How does gender inequality
intersect with other types of inequities (class, economic, health, ethnic)?
What inclusive uses are beginning to become generalized in the various
languages and why? What linguistic changes can be expected?

The purpose of this panel is to bring together contributions from different
methodological approaches on the relationship between language and gender in a
variety of languages (including but not restricted to English, Spanish,
German, Italian, French, and Portuguese). Presentations either in English or
Spanish will be accepted.
