Prystawski, Ben; Grant, Erin; Nematzadeh, Aida; Lee, Spike W. S.; Stevenson, Suzanne; Xu, Yang – Cognitive Science, 2022
Gender associations have been a long-standing research topic in psychological and social sciences.

Newman, Matthew L.; Groom, Carla J.; Handelman, Lori D.; Pennebaker, James W. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2008
Differences in the ways that men and women use language have long been of interest in the study of discourse.

Taylor, Anita – 1993
This discussion of gender constructs compares them with racial constructs, and examines ways in which language tends to dichotomize or polarize them, and to reject ambiguity as unacceptable.

Male chauvinism and its counterpart, a hostile feminism, are inherently competitive stances. The discord can be mitigated, however, by a redefinition of the work situation.

The goal of this booklet is to encourage gender-inclusive language. Bias-free language is effective language. A number of studies demonstrate that an audience is more…
