On the inclusive Belarusian language

Summary/Abstract: This article examines the inclusive Belarusian language (both in the dimension of gender and in the measurement of different uses of the Belarusian language). The concept of "inclusive language" is quite new in sociolinguistics, in gender sociolinguistics in particular, and covers such topics as the feminization of the names of professions, a more active use of both feminitives and generic nouns. In the case of the Belarusian language, inclusive language also serves as a resource that contributes to the resolution of issues that have arisen between the two main linguistic traditions (the official Belarusian language and the norm known as Taraškievica).
