Hi Seelangers!

Could anybody direct me to the papers describing sexist
elements and lexicographic strategies in Slavic dictionaries
(like using 'man' where 'person' is appropriate, giving gloss
'feminine' but not 'masculine' with agentive nouns, etc.)?

I would be even more interested in solutions how to avoid
such practices in bilingual Slavic dictionaries.

Please respond off-line to the addresses stated below.
