Inkluzivní vyjadřování v češtině. Metodická doporučení
Inclusive Czech Language Guidelines. Methodical Recommendations

Summary/Abstract: The document titled provides methodological recommendations for inclusive language use in Czech. It emphasizes the importance of addressing and referring to individuals politely and inclusively in both internal and external communications within organizations, businesses, and EU workplaces. The methodology is based on research from German, English, and four Slavic languages over the past thirty years, highlighting the negative impact of generically used masculine forms, which marginalize women and ignore non-binary individuals. The document suggests using gender-neutral or inclusive forms, especially in job advertisements, to encourage more women and non-binary people to apply. It also addresses gender stereotypes, the protection of names, and the use of non-binary language. The recommendations aim to support social changes and promote gender equality in the Czech language. The document includes practical examples and alternatives for common phrases and terms, advocating for a balanced representation of all genders in communication.
