Some specific issues are discussed: 1) language can be neither the only nor the main tool for a truly inclusive society, for which it is rather necessary to raise the level of average culture; 2) the public language has to refer to standard Italian in order to guarantee transparency for all citizens (even of those who do not have a high level of linguistic competence and therefore cannot handle exogenous changes in structure) 3) the unmarked masculine in certain contexts is however an inclusive strategy that in Italian is embedded in an articulated system of solutions that are not always based on the grammatical masculine (such as the use of feminine persona). 2023-08-03T15:10:04Z 2023-08-03T15:10:04Z 2023 chapter ONIX_20230803_9791221501384_181 2704-5846 9791221501384 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/74985 ita Proceedings e report application/pdf Attribution 4.0 International 9791221501384-08.pdf https://books.fupress.com/doi/capitoli/979-12-215-0138-4_8 Firenze University Press La lingua italiana in una prospettiva di genere 10.36253/979-12-215-0138-4.08 This contribution proposes some general observations on gendered language in a public context.
