Charting dominant views on gender-sensitive language in the Serbian public sphere, this article points to the ways sociopolitical transformations are grasped and dealt with in postsocialist Serbia. It looks at a case where the legislative action by the state, namely the adoption of the Gender Equality Bill in 2021, disrupted the usual pattern of mutual support between national linguistic experts and the nationalist politics of the state. The debate on the use of social femininatives in Serbian reveals the political force of language ideologies of authenticity, authority, legitimacy and naturalness that mobilise various expert, politicaland social actors whose views often converge in an unexpected manner. It shows that the issue of gender equality in Serbia and in postsocialist Europe in general cannot always be seen as resulting exclusively from the mutually conditioned processes of social movement and countermovement, or of gender mainstreaming and anti-gender backlash; neither can its understanding be reduced to binaries of progressiveness/openness/liberalism/Europeanness vs. conservatism/ nationalism/authoritarianism/anti-Europeanness. Rather, gender equality in these contexts must be seen as part of broader sociopolitical processes at both national and transnational levels.Mapirajuci preovladujuce poglede na rodno osetljiv jezik koji cirkulisu u javnoj sferi, clanak osvetljava nacine razumevanja i prihvatanja sociopolitickih promena u postsocijalistickoj Srbiji.

本文阐述了塞尔维亚公共领域对性别敏感语言的主流观点，指出了后社会主义塞尔维亚如何把握和处理社会政治变革。它着眼于一个案例，即国家的立法行动，即2021年通过的《性别平等法案》，打破了国家语言专家与国家民族主义政治之间通常相互支持的模式。关于在塞尔维亚语中使用社会女权主义者的辩论揭示了真实性、权威性、合法性和自然性的语言意识形态的政治力量，这些意识形态动员了各种专家、政治和社会行动者，他们的观点往往以意想不到的方式趋同。它表明，塞尔维亚和整个后社会主义欧洲的性别平等问题不能总是被视为完全由社会运动和反运动，或性别主流化和反性别反弹的相互制约的过程造成的；它的理解也不能归结为进步性/开放性/自由主义/欧洲性与保守主义/民族主义/威权主义/反欧洲性的二元对立。相反，必须将这些背景下的性别平等视为国家和跨国层面更广泛的社会政治进程的一部分。通过绘制对公共领域流传的一种母语敏感语言的重叠观点，文章强调了理解和接受后社会主义时代塞尔维亚社会变革的方式。Kroz uvid u辩论了Zakona o rodnoj ravnorvnosti donetog 2021。本文分析了国家立法中断了国家学术机构语言专家与国家政策之间通常形式的相互支持的情况。关于社会女权主义者在西班牙语中的作用的辩论反映了真实性、权威性、合法性和性质的语言意识形态的政治力量，以及他们动员不同专家、政治和社会行动者的能力，这些专家、政治或社会行动者往往以一种意想不到的方式解决母语敏感语言的问题。它表明，在后社会主义欧洲的塞尔维亚和叙利亚，由于社会运动和反运动，或者公共政策的制定和后备和保守势力的动员，性别平等问题并不总是能够理解的，不可能将它们归结为进步/开放/自由主义/欧洲和保护/民族主义/权威/反欧洲的二元范畴，但有必要将它们视为系列、国家和跨国进程的一部分。

As a morphologically rich Slavic language, Czech contains many possibilities for nonbinary language use. The broad aim of this article is to provide insights into existing and emerging nonbinary language strategies and the metadiscourses that surround them. After outlining the available means of gender-fair language, the analysis turns to possibilities for expressing nonbinarity, presenting emic insights regarding nonbinary community members’ own language use, choices, innovations and metalinguistic reflections, as well as wider out-group responses. Discourses coming from the nonbinary community draw attention to less understood connections of language, self-expression, authenticity and social perception, whereas outgroup discourses draw on broad views of what is ‘natural’ in language and society. Emerging voices suggest that despite the general absence of debates surrounding nonbinary language in Czech academia and public discourse, much is happening ‘underground’ in personal language use and community interactions, reflecting the ongoing negotiation of tensions between gender-normative structures and the range of feasible agentive practices used to subvert them.Cestina jako morfologicky bohaty slovansky jazyk nabizi mnoho moznosti pro nebinarni vyjadrovani.

作为一种形态丰富的斯拉夫语，捷克语包含了许多非二元语言使用的可能性。本文的主要目的是提供对现有的和新兴的非二元语言策略以及围绕它们的元话语的见解。在概述了性别公平语言的可用手段之后，分析转向表达非二元性的可能性，提出了关于非二元社区成员自己的语言使用、选择、创新和元语言反思以及更广泛的外群体反应的主题见解。来自非二元群体的话语将注意力集中在语言、自我表达、真实性和社会感知之间不太为人所知的联系上，而外群体话语则利用了语言和社会中“自然”的广泛观点。新出现的声音表明，尽管在捷克学术界和公共话语中普遍缺乏关于非二元语言的辩论，但在个人语言使用和社区互动中，“地下”发生了很多事情，反映了性别规范结构与用于颠覆它们的可行代理实践之间紧张关系的持续谈判。从形态学上看，这是一种非常危险的现象。他说:“我不知道，我不知道。我不知道。我不知道。我不知道。”研究结果表明:一种新的研究方法能够有效地促进两性关系的发展;一种新的研究方法能够促进两性关系的发展;一种新的研究方法能够有效地促进两性关系的发展。Diskurzy pochazejici z nebinarni community se venuzy predevsim menme znamym souvissystem jazyka, sebevyjipi, authenticity a social知觉，zatimco Diskurzy pochazejici mimo tuto skupinu venuji poznost predevsim sisimu conttextu toho, co je nenezy v jazyce a spolecnosti,prirozene”。“目的”:对我国经济发展的现状进行分析，并对我国经济发展的现状进行分析，分析了我国经济发展的现状。V osobnim uzivani jazyka, V interakchi Dane社区，coz odrazi probihajii obrusovani hran mezi性别正常化，nimi strukturami, skalou moznych代理praktik k jejich prekonani。

Ogolnopolski Strajk Kobiet (All-Poland Women's Strike) is a grassroots campaign established in Poland in 2016 in response to the proposed tightening of abortion laws but which also engages with broader social, feminist and women's rights issues. Using a critical approach to multimodal discourse analysis, this article analyses the postings of the campaign on its main social media platform, Facebook, investigating closely the types of multimodal speech acts, referred to here as 'communicative acts', employed therein. The article examines the forms that such communicative acts take and the broader functions they fulfil within the (online and offline) context of the campaign. The observed communicative acts contribute towards and indeed enact the protest quite directly, forming an important part of the campaign's discourse of feminist dissent.Ogolnopolski Strajk Kobiet powstal we wrzesniu 2016, na fali protestow wywolanych propozycja prac nad zaostrzeniem polskiego prawa aborcyjnego.

Societies of central and eastern Europe are increasingly described as the hub of broader ‘antigender’ mobilisations, which has made them a locus of interest in political science and gender studies, yet they curiously remain among the least represented in gender and language scholarship to date. Recent developments in the region tap into some urgent foci for the sociolinguistic study of gender and sexuality, encompassing not only growing frames of right-wing nationalism and antigenderism, but also burgeoning forms of feminist and queer resistance, whose intricacies and paradoxes complicate dominant perspectives in the field. Following a brief overview of the region's developments and contributions to the field, the present article uses this backdrop for an outline of several linguistic semiotic processes pertinent for tracing the dynamics of ‘gender ideology’ in discourse. More broadly, based on the complexities observed, the article emphasises the value of insights from postsocialist societies for rethinking the possibilities of true gender equality, within the wider struggles against the exploitation, marginalisation and dehumanisation pervasive in our current social reality.

中欧和东欧社会越来越多地被描述为更广泛的“反性别”动员的中心，这使它们成为政治科学和性别研究的兴趣所在，然而奇怪的是，迄今为止，它们在性别和语言研究中仍然是最少被代表的。该地区最近的发展触及了性别和性行为的社会语言学研究的一些紧迫焦点，不仅包括右翼民族主义和反性别主义的框架，还包括新兴的女权主义和酷儿抵抗形式，其复杂性和悖论使该领域的主流观点复杂化。在简要概述该地区的发展和对该领域的贡献之后，本文利用这一背景概述了与追踪话语中的“性别意识形态”动态相关的几种语言符号学过程。更广泛地说，基于观察到的复杂性，本文强调了后社会主义社会的见解的价值，它有助于在反对当前社会现实中普遍存在的剥削、边缘化和非人化的更广泛斗争中，重新思考真正的性别平等的可能性。因此，欧洲的医药卫生中心(drstvima central)对“反药品卫生动员”(govori kao)、“州政治动员”(interesovanja)、“州政治动员”(interesovanja)、“州政治动员”(interesovanja)、“州政治动员”(nejenaduje)、“州政治动员”(nejslabije)、“州政治动员”(nejslabije)、“州政治动员”(nejslabije)、“州卫生动员”(nejslabije)等问题进行了讨论。Skorasnja dogadanja u from regionu ukazju na vazna pitanja za sociolingvisticko izucavanje roda i seksusunosti, unutar danas prostranjeni okvira desnicarskog nacalizogi i anti- rokpokreta, ali novika oblika feministicg i kvirovita otporta, cije nijanse i paroksi komplikuju neke ustaljene透视u ovoj nachnoj oblasti。Nakon kratkog pregleda postojeih tendencija u izucavanjima jezika i roda u regionu, theorijskki diskusije to lingtictickim符号学过程koesma koji su osnovi dinamika ronih ideologizja u javnom diskursu, uradu use isticticznacaj nalizizi postsocial - jalistich drustava za promisljanje mogucnosti stvarne rodneliberacje u sklopu sirih proprotivesksploatacje, marginizizizje dehumanizacje kakve odlikuju nasasju drustvenu realnost。

Japanese writers portray Chinese and Korean men as physically masculine, which often involves heightened sexuality, in two ways. First, some female writers discuss Japanese women’s heterosexual desire for Chinese and Korean men by emphasising these men’s physicality and desirable masculinity. Second, Japanese novelists often assign hypermasculine language to Chinese and Korean male characters. By celebrating Chinese and Korean masculinity, such depictions offer a counternarrative to derogatory stereotypes that have circulated and continue to circulate in rightwing (often male) nationalistic discourses. At the same time, however, the language these writers employ otherises Chinese and Korean men by hypersexualising them and placing them outside mainstream Japanese society.

Most research on gender in the Middle Eastern workplace treats gender identities in relation to the polarity of ‘tradition’ and ‘modernity’. Although some of these studies take a critical perspective, they largely ignore the importance of language, and therefore empirical work on this topic from a social constructionist perspective is largely lacking. This article presents the narratives related by a female Qatari professional during a research interview and the discursive positions she takes up vis-à-vis these ‘tradition-or-modernity’- oriented dominant discourses of gender-based difference. A qualitative, micro-oriented discourse analytical method highlights how ‘gender identity’ is made relevant in the negotiation of ‘professional identity’ and how culturally-governed expectations about femininity and professionalism surface – and are interactionally dealt with. The interviewee constructs a highly ephemeral identity at the intersection of gender and professional identity, presenting a much less polarised view on gender identity. This challenges essentialist notions of the gender-related tradition-modernity dichotomy found in the literature.

Three focal points organise the literature recontextualised here. First is the study of the lingering effects of cisheteropatriarchy in different contexts. Second, while forging a diagnosis of the present, the texts reviewed here address ongoing practices that defy the persistent colonial gaze. Third, they propose future paths that follow the decolonial route now at the centre of language, gender and sexuality research. Overall, the works resonate with the sound of the past, the fury of the present and the hope for the future. While transitioning forward with actions set forth today, they reimagine colonial yesterdays. As such, they indicate the chronotopic mobility of power-resistance performances.

This article provides a multimodal semiotic analysis of the word cuck as used in online white supremacist spaces. A fundamental belief of the white supremacist ‘alt-right’ movement is an anti-Semitic narrative that positions Jewish people as a ‘global elite’ that seeks to oppress and eliminate white populations. Central to this belief is that Jewish people actively manipulate populations of colour, Black people in particular, to overtake white populations in a process known as ‘white genocide’ or ‘the great replacement’. Based on a digital ethnography of alt-right communities on Voat, Twitter and Reddit, this article demonstrates how the memeified word ‘cuck’, a pejorative term for ‘weak’ men on the US political right wing, draws from and reproduces this white nationalist conspiracy theory through allusions to interracial cuckold pornography. While disguised as innocuous, expressions like ‘cuck’ provide insight into how the alt-right weaponises misogynist and racist humour in its radicalisation efforts.

Verbal microaggressions perpetuate inequalities and negatively impact wellbeing. Yet, there is little work on microaggressions in situ. We address this gap, connecting microaggressions research with scholarship concerning prejudice and discrimination in situated interaction, and focusing on (hetero)sexist microaggressions. Conversation analysis (CA) and membership categorisation analysis (MCA) are applied to excerpts of naturally-occurring and focus group conversation to determine what (hetero)sexist microaggressions look like in practice; how they affect conversations; and whether they map onto well-documented CA/MCA phenomena. Findings suggest that when people produce microaggressive utterances, they use various devices (e.g. pre-sequences, idioms, humour) to mitigate accountability. Furthermore, concerning recipients’ reactions, the treatment of an utterance as microaggressive can involve hallmarks of dispreferred turns including hesitation and/or indirect challenges involving deletion/repair initiation. We therefore propose that such features are criteria for an utterance/sequence to be considered microaggressive. Moreover, such strategies suggest that speakers/recipients are agentic in the (re)production of (hetero)sexism, and therefore may be agentic in effecting change. OPEN ACCESS CC BY-NC-ND: INV PAID
言语上的微侵犯使不平等永久化，并对福祉产生负面影响。然而，关于原位微侵蚀的研究却很少。我们解决了这一差距，将微侵犯研究与有关情境互动中的偏见和歧视的奖学金联系起来，并专注于(异性恋)性别歧视的微侵犯。对话分析(CA)和成员分类分析(MCA)应用于自然发生和焦点小组对话的摘录，以确定(异性恋)性别歧视的微侵犯在实践中是什么样的;它们如何影响对话;以及它们是否映射到有充分记录的CA/MCA现象。研究结果表明，当人们说出微攻击性话语时，他们会使用各种手段(如前置序列、习语、幽默)来减轻责任。此外，就接受者的反应而言，将话语作为微攻击性的处理可能涉及不喜欢的转变的特征，包括犹豫和/或涉及删除/修复启动的间接挑战。因此，我们认为这些特征是话语/序列被认为是微攻击性的标准。此外，这些策略表明，说话者/接受者在(异性)性别歧视的(再)生产中是能动的，因此可能在影响改变方面是能动的。开放存取cc - by - nc: inv付费
