What’s in a word? How less-gendered language is faring across Europe
A contentious vote in the French senate is only the latest battleground in the culture war over inclusive language
You're viewing a single thread.
The fact France has an institution to control language seems distinctly counter productive to it being a lasting language.
Languages have always evolved over time; fighting that seems likely to hasten it's uselessness.
Doesn't every European language have such an institution? They just battle new developments to their language for like 20 years just to eventually adapt them anyway. Acting like it was their idea all along
German doesn't, at least nothing official. That's even stated in the article.
English doesn't either, or if they do, nobody cares
Spanish (aka Castilian) has one for every country.
