More about the book
The study employs constructivist language theory to explore feminist linguistics, challenging traditional views of grammar as merely reflective of reality. It begins with a literature review and research questions, followed by a critical examination of German feminist linguistics and historical perspectives on gender in grammar. Recent approaches to grammatical gender are analyzed, revealing the integration of feminist linguistics across various fields. A corpus-assisted analysis of gender-fair forms in German is conducted, culminating in findings on their usage with non-human referents and broader conclusions about the implications of these results.
