The second panel titled “Who is bothered by female presidents, delegates, directors and deans – language practices in law and other areas of life” will be held on December 10 (Tuesday), from 12:30 to 1:30 PM at the Student Cultural Center, where we will try to find out who is bothered by female presidents, delegates, directors and deans, from a linguistic perspective, and we will also seek answers to other questions.
Some of those questions are:
– Is the language we speak an image of the world we live in?
– What is the relationship between standardized and gender-sensitive language?
– In which language are laws and constitutions written?
– Why is the application of the Law on Gender Equality temporarily suspended in Serbia?
– Who decides on the use of feminine nouns in the media?
