Sexism in language. A guide to non-sexist language practice

Linguistic sexism manifests itself in a whole range of discriminatory practices against women, both in everyday language and in the linguistic organization carried out at the institutional level. The first part of this book describes some types of sexism, explains the sexist nature of certain words and linguistic structures, and provides alternatives for eradicating it. The second part analyzes various texts produced by the two public universities in the Canary Islands, identifying sexist linguistic constructions and proposing alternatives.
