Dear colleagues,
I am currently a Spanish Language and General
Linguistics student at the National University
of Distance Education (Madrid).
I am working on my Doctorate thesis. The topic
of my research is : La problemática de la
reforma lingüística: caso del español frente al
sexismo lingüístico.
My research focuses on linguistic sexism in
Spanish and the attempts being made at language
reform. Specifically, I examine the influence
of feminist linguistics on the spanish language
and I also look at factors that could obstruct
or facilitate the elimination of gender
discrimination in spanish.
I am collecting data on perceptions, attitudes
and beliefs on Anti-Sexist language. I am
trying to gather data from native speakers as
well as fluent speakers of Spanish.
I have designed three distinct questionnaires
in which I ask questions on sexism and
demographic information such as gender, age,
nationality, profession and level of fluency
(for non native speakers). They are all brief
questionnaires that would only take about 20
minutes to answer.
I would be most grateful if native speakers of
Spanish could participate in my research by
answering my questionnaires. Fluent Spanish
speakers are also invited to do same.
I would be extremely grateful if you could
spread the questionnaires to fellow faculty and
students in your university and other
institutions.
I assure the anonymity of all information
gathered and also agree to thank those
participants who wish to reveal their real
names, in the acknowledgements of my
thesis.
