The (potential) use of gender-inclusive language is being discussed controversially in the public sphere. Opinions on it have increasingly been voiced by individuals as well as organisations. These include state institutions, private associations, subject specialists such as linguists, and private individuals / laypeople. Views of and attitudes towards the use of gender-inclusive language cover a broad spectrum between extreme ends, and even subject specialists hold conflicting views. Research on gender-inclusive language is very much a current trend in linguistics, including the so-called ‘genderless’ languages. However, the focus is mostly on structural issues, while sociolinguistic research on attitudes towards the use of gender-inclusive language is mostly missing. Some scattered work in this area has been published, but a more thorough understanding and conceptualisation of attitudes is still needed. Furthermore, a multilingual, comparative perspective is still missing. This edited volume will address these shortcomings.

How to promote inclusivity without destroying languages and erasing centuries of linguistic and cultural stratification with a bang (considering it would spell defeat for the whole of humanity): the truth is, in the end, there's a solution to every problem.

"Il ne faut pas confondre la langue et le sexe, le genre des mots et le sexe des gens. Or, avec une déconcertante régularité, les débats de société mélangent volontiers le mot et la chose. Le Sexe et la Langue tente de faire un état des lieux des manipulations militantes prenant la langue en otage et le féminisme pour prétexte d'une manoeuvre d'intimidation idéologique. Dernier avatar de ces manipulations, l'écriture inclusive s'abrite derrière la défense des femmes pour contribuer à 'changer les mentalités' en tordant le cou à la grammaire. Contre l'usage populaire, une entreprise de contrôle moral des discours vise désormais à légiférer la langue française. Ce contrôle est l'oeuvre de gardiens de prison qui prétendent que leur surveillance vous libère et qui veulent imposer à la société une rééducation comportementale et mentale. À ce titre, ils ont raison : la langue est bien un enjeu à partir du moment où on l'enrôle pour en faire une arme de pouvoir."--Back cover.
