Abstract
El lenguaje no solo es un medio de comunicación, sino también una herramienta poderosa que moldea nuestras percepciones y actitudes. A través del lenguaje, se construyen y refuerzan roles de género y estereotipos que pueden limitar el desarrollo personal y profesional de las personas. Desde la infancia, las expresiones y términos que escuchamos y utilizamos contribuyen a formar nuestra visión del mundo y nuestro lugar en él. Por ejemplo, el uso de términos masculinos como genéricos universales (“hombre” para referirse a la humanidad, “alumnos” para referirse a todos los estudiantes) excluye y desvaloriza a las mujeres y a las personas de géneros no binarios. Esto no solo refleja, sino que también perpetúa la idea de que el género masculino es la norma y lo femenino y otras identidades de género son excepciones. Una vez identificados los patrones de lenguaje sexista, es importante promover el uso del lenguaje inclusivo como una forma de fomentar la igualdad, la participación y la reflexión crítica sobre el lenguaje y el género. El lenguaje inclusivo busca evitar expresiones que perpetúan estereotipos de género y, en su lugar, utiliza términos neutros o palabras que visibilicen a todos los géneros por igual. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es concienciar a los alumnos y a los profesores sobre la existencia y las implicaciones del sexismo lingüístico, y al mismo tiempo, proponer y enseñar diversas estrategias educativas para combatirlo mediante las metodologías de enseñanza que traten estos temas. Es importante desarrollar la reflexión crítica de los estudiantes al respecto y crear un entorno de aprendizaje más equitativo.
Language is not only a means of communication, but also a powerful tool that shapes our perceptions and attitudes. Through language, gender roles and stereotypes are constructed and reinforced and that can limit people's personal and professional development. Since childhood, the expressions and terms we hear and use help shape our vision of the world and our place in it. For example, the use of masculine terms as universal generics (“man” to refer to humanity, “students” to refer to all students) excludes and devalues women and people of non-binary genders. This not only reflects, but also perpetuates the idea that the masculine gender is the norm and feminine and other gender identities are exceptions. Once sexist language patterns are identified, we will try and promote the use of inclusive language as a way to encourage equality, participation and critical reflection on language and gender. Inclusive language seeks to avoid expressions that perpetuate gender stereotypes and, instead, uses neutral terms or words that make all genders equally visible. The main objective of this work is to raise students' awareness about the existence and implications of linguistic sexism, and at the same time, propose and teach various strategies to combat it through the use of more inclusive language. It is important to develop students' critical reflection on these issues and create a more equitable learning environment.
