Inclusive language: how, why, what for?
Keywords:
language, inclusive language, sign languageSynopsis
This work was coordinated by Sofía De Mauro, produced by the Commission on Inclusive Language Use (FFyH – UNC), and published by the Publications Department of the Faculty of Philosophy and Humanities. The articles in this publication—written by Sofía De Mauro, Paulo Aniceto, Amparo Argüello Solís, Guadalupe Erro, Eduardo Mattio, Sofía Caballero Menas, Patricia Bandín, and Cecilia Pacella—are presented to the reader grouped under a title that bears question marks; a question, or rather, many questions. The how, why, and what for seem to be there inviting us to explore different reflections from which to attempt answers. However, the question marks, which stubbornly remain, seem to warn us of something else.
The articles collected in Inclusive Language: How, Why, What For? are presented to the reader under a title that includes question marks; a question, or rather, many questions. The how, why, and what for seem to be there inviting us to explore different reflections from which to attempt answers. However, the question marks, which stubbornly remain, seem to warn us of something else.
A question always confronts us with a concern, with an unknown path that challenges us, but above all, it opens up space in the silence to listen to another voice. Every question is an invitation to conversation, to dialogue, to encounter others. Allowing the question to remain in the present of each reading indicates that the invitation to encounter does not seek to close with a final answer, but rather to keep that space open for listening to other voices.
The reflections gathered in this document, coordinated by Sofía De Mauro and prepared by the Commission on “Inclusive Use of Language” (FFyH – UNC), do not seek to arrive at conclusions that are intended to be true, but rather aim to accompany the concern and safeguard the space that every question opens up, open to reflection and, above all, to the emergence of new questions.
