Addirittura qui si legge di Peppa Pig come figliO. Credo che sia un refuso o ancora peggio una correzione automatica.

that's a huge irn-bru truck! I am sure if i see the pictures of that period i can find it too! I was in Glasgow (2006-2007) and in Stirling (2008). I did not go back to Stirling since, maybe i'll arrange a trip to Scotland! Do you like it there?

I have a meeting at that time but I will try and join as soon as i can. So gutted to miss part of it as it is such an interesting, timely and relevant (to my current research) talk!

It is a bit more complicated that gender neutral but if you are interested, this paper of mine with Anna Lisa Somma is open access: jomela.pub/v5-i1-a3/

Haha. Aggiungiamo pure che è la fiera del catcalling normalizzato.

Non so cosa manca nella lista: sessismo benevolo, grassofobia (a meno che non fosse un siparietto), disabilismo, scherzare sul colore della pelle.. boh.

io da bambina andavo sempre in calabria! ci voglio tornare! Si effettivamente avere il mare in citta' aiuta tantissimo, purtroppo io non ci vado spesso vivendo e lavorando in altre aree di brighton, forse l'ultima volta che avevo visto il mare di e' stato a Novembre! 😱

lol, si effettivamente anche io quando guardo brighton faccio dei lunghi viaggi. Quando ci sono le sedie a sdraio con le strisce e il sole penso alla Calabria, quando vedo il molo penso alle serie tv americane e per le salite/discese di brighton penso a san francisco - e vorrei anche qui i tram!

I am tired of having to justify the topic context in some claims that are honestly very superficial, or petitions to ban gender-inclusive language. It is very boring! And the lack of articulation of some claims is really worrying!

There are some brilliant phd students and post-docs that do not receive enough attention for their work, their investigations of gender-inclusive language. I always try to amplify their voice, as they are the ones who come to conferences, present substantiated arguments and results.

it is mostly THEIR voice, there are no links to the wonderful literature that has emerged on the topic in the last few years, and that explain much better what this linguistic phenomenon is about.

Sometimes, the same happens for those in favour of gender-inclusive language. And, I am not saying that this topic should only be debated in academia (i cite all types of books), but when looking for literature, to compare results, to build an interesting debate, I feel it is hard.

They say that gender inclusive language is ideological, disregarding that their positions are very ideological too (just on the other side). They give interviews to far-right newspapers. Their books are the only ones that emerge in relation to the topic, cos they are deemed big names in linguistics.

They are, for instance, convinced that gender inclusive language does not work in Italian because of the complex gender agreement (articles, nouns, adj, pp) but THAT'S NOT TRUE. They base their claims on their ideas, a systematic investigation would show how wrong they are.

Those by linguists, particularly, are not peer-reviewed publications and this allows them to basically write anti-sociolinguistic claims as if language belonged to them and not to the speakers. These claims are full of (heterocis male) privilege, and also linguicism towards speakers from the South.

I am obviously passionate about the topic, I wrote 1 chapter on my own, 1 with a colleague, 1 with the same colleague and another as well as a (short) book. BUT.. the topic is obscured in Italy by books against gender inclusive language meant for the public audience.Some are by linguists some aren't
