Língua para todes: um olhar formal sobre a expressão do gênero gramatical no Português e a demanda pela língua(gem) inclusiva

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to offer a contribution from the formal Linguistics theoretical approach to the demand for an inclusive language, by analyzing the plausibility of adopting well-known gender neutral strategies – like the use of ‘@’, ‘-x’ e ‘-e’ - in Portuguese. As a conclusion, according to the available empirical and theoretical studies, none of these strategies is satisfactory. It is worthy, however, to insist in the investigation of gender expression phenomenon in Portuguese, since there is still a lot to be explored by linguists on this matter, when compared to the studies on linguistic gender expression that have been developed for other languages.
