Gender inclusive language, inclusive language, non-binary forms, gender inclusive… Surely you have heard of this at some point.\u00a0The truth is that it can be called many things in different linguistic communities, but it always produces some controversy.\u00a0What really is \u201cinclusive language\u201d?\u00a0And\u00a0<\/span>why does it generate rejection<\/span><\/a>\u00a0?<\/span><\/p>\n

It is advisable to start by remembering how gender morphology works in Spanish, to then understand a little better what the proposal of inclusive language is.<\/span><\/p>\n

Languages \u200b\u200bwith gender<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Different languages \u200b\u200bexpress or mark gender in different ways.\u00a0Some are simply genderless.\u00a0<\/span>A very widespread classification considers several types of languages<\/span><\/a>\u00a0: with grammatical gender (Spanish, Italian, German, which mark gender in all nouns and pronouns, as in all the words that are combined with them), with natural gender (such as English, that marks gender in pronouns but not in the rest of the words: for example, \u201cshe\u201d\/\u201che\u201d, which in Spanish would be \u201cella\u201d\/\u201chim\u201d), with a combination of both (Norwegian, Dutch), or without gender (with some traces, like Basque, or without traces, like Turkish).<\/span><\/p>\n

In Spanish, nouns (\u201cchild\u201d, \u201cspoon\u201d), determiners (\u201cel\u201d, \u201cla\u201d), adjectives (\u201cpretty\u201d, \u201cpretty\u201d) and pronouns (\u201cella\u201d, \u201cthey\u201d) They always have gender.\u00a0Furthermore, for a sentence to be well formed, all those words must agree in gender.\u00a0In this way, it sounds very strange to us and it is difficult to understand a phrase like \u201cThat spoon is very pretty.\u201d\u00a0In English, for example, that does not happen, because \u201cspoon\u201d has no gender: \u201cThat spoon is very nice.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Masculinity and femininity in grammatical gender<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Spanish establishes\u00a0<\/span>a binary distinction between masculine and feminine<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0That is why the possibility that grammatical gender may be biasing the way we represent the world in our minds has been discussed for some time.\u00a0Do we associate glasses more with masculinity and cups with femininity\u00a0<\/span>because of their grammatical gender<\/span><\/a>\u00a0?<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, in Spanish \u201csun\u201d is masculine and \u201cmoon\u201d is feminine, but in German the grammatical gender assigned to these nouns is inverted.\u00a0<\/span>Spanish speakers<\/span><\/a>\u00a0associate \u201csun\u201d with stereotypically masculine traits such as strength and power and \u201cmoon\u201d with stereotypically feminine traits such as softness and delicacy.\u00a0However, when German speakers are asked, the association is inverse, that is, consistent with the grammatical gender that those words have in that language.<\/span><\/p>\n

Social gender and biological gender in language<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Much more interesting is what happens when we refer to people: what relationship do grammatical gender, social gender and biological sex have?\u00a0Numerous proposals maintain that linguistic forms and grammatical gender\u00a0<\/span>can condition the binary representation of people<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>reinforce heteronormative stereotypes<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0For example, in\u00a0<\/span>a very classic study, expert Manuel Carreiras and his team<\/span><\/a>\u00a0found different results for Spanish (which marks gender in its morphology) and English (which does not).\u00a0Specifically, they showed that, in the case of Spanish, the clues to represent the gender of a referent do not only come from the stereotypes associated with the words (for example, \u201ctruck driver\u201d associated with men) but also from explicit morphological marks.\u00a0That is to say, reading \u201ctruck driver\u201d, \u201ctrucker\u201d or \u201ccamionere\u201d would not be the same to imagine the gender identity of that person.<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, some studies consider that the unmarked use of the masculine as generic (which, in general, is understood as the default use of the masculine form to refer to any gender) systematically hides women and other sex-gender\u00a0<\/span>identities<\/span><\/a>\u00a0when It is used to refer to mixed groups or groups with non-uniform gender.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, if we say that \u201cscientists have worked hard to develop this vaccine,\u201d\u00a0<\/span>we may be making invisible<\/span><\/a>\u00a0the fact that among these people there are women or people who do not recognize themselves as men or women.\u00a0This calls into question whether the generic masculine adequately represents this diversity.<\/span><\/p>\n

An inclusive alternative<\/span><\/h2>\n

The use of \u201cgender inclusive language\u201d provides an alternative to overcome these limitations.\u00a0The proposal consists of\u00a0<\/span>modifying the binary morphological gender paradigm of Spanish<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0Expressed in non-binary forms, a sentence like \u201cshe has proven to be a very creative girl\u201d would require modifying several words to meet the agreement requirement.\u00a0In this way, the phrase would be \u201cshe has proven to be a very creative child.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It has been objected that inclusive language makes understanding difficult.\u00a0However, there are studies that show that sentences presented with non-binary forms are not read more slowly or understood less well.\u00a0On the contrary,\u00a0<\/span>the use of inclusive language facilitates the representation of groups of people without uniform gender<\/span><\/a>\u00a0, especially for nouns that are strongly associated with males.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this way, most of us\u00a0<\/span>think of men when we hear the word \u201ctruck drivers\u201d<\/span><\/a>\u00a0, while when we hear the word \u201ctruckers\u201d it is easier for us to relate it to a group of people of different genders who drive trucks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most of this research\u00a0<\/span>has been done in adults<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0Therefore, we do not know what would happen to children who acquired a language in a community that systematically used three gender forms (-o, -a, -e).<\/span><\/p>\n

However, in theoretical terms, it seems plausible to predict that\u00a0<\/span>the adoption of the form [-e] as a gender morpheme would not pose any problem<\/span><\/a>\u00a0at the cognitive level or for the language system.<\/span><\/p>\n

A change in the making?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Now, is the use of non-binary forms already as widespread as thinking about stable linguistic change?\u00a0<\/span>It doesn’t seem to be the case<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

Legislating the way we speak is very complicated, since linguistic uses can only\u00a0<\/span>be regulated<\/span><\/a>\u00a0implicitly by the speaking communities themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0<\/span>attempt to restrict uses<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that are not even that widespread seems to have more to do with\u00a0<\/span>cultural and political<\/span><\/a>\u00a0elements than with grammar.\u00a0Among the factors that generate\u00a0<\/span>resistance to adopting new forms of gender<\/span><\/a>\u00a0, some studies fundamentally highlight two.\u00a0On the one hand, the idea that changes in languages \u200b\u200bare always negative and\u00a0<\/span>destroy a<\/span><\/a>\u00a0supposedly perfect, stable and homogeneous system.\u00a0On the other hand, the denial that\u00a0<\/span>non-binary sex-gender identities<\/span><\/a>\u00a0exist .<\/span><\/p>\n

Variation\u00a0<\/span>in linguistic usage is the rule and not the exception<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0Numerous linguistic forms coexist simultaneously in different communities at the same time.\u00a0And throughout the history of humanity, languages \u200b\u200bhave undergone continuous transformations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Neither prohibit nor impose<\/span><\/h2>\n

Non-binary forms could be a useful tool to\u00a0<\/span>guarantee rights<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0The fact of\u00a0<\/span>being able to refer to people<\/span><\/a>\u00a0with sex-gender identities outside the cisheteronormative paradigm fosters\u00a0<\/span>basic respect for others<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, including a new form or admitting new linguistic uses in no way means eliminating existing ones.\u00a0In any case, any change that becomes stable as a new form will depend on the massive and sustained diffusion of its use.\u00a0We cannot predict linguistic changes, we simply observe a process whose final result we do not know.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is important, then, to say that just as linguistic uses cannot be prohibited, they cannot be imposed either: variation and change in linguistic uses are always in the hands (or mouths) of the speakers.<\/span><\/p>\n
