Estado del arte sobre el sexismo lingüístico y las discrepancias con la Real Academia Española

Abstract

The article presents as a central theme the relationship between language and power, which is evidenced through discursive control that is capable of creating meaning, cultural constructions and therefore social representations and imaginaries, which reflects greater visibility of one gender over the other. A state of the art will be that allows the collection of information that poses language as an important axis with respect to the inequality gap between men and women. Considering legitimate discursive constructions as control mechanism, used to hide and influence the representation of our environment. Among the main reasons is that in our language the masculine gender has been determined as an unmarked and inclusive gender, which has led to the female gender being less named in different contexts and by rules dictated by the RAE in its different publications. Different investigations have been exposed that oppose the position of the RAE, in this work the articles collected in the bibliographic databases of Springer, Scielo and Latindex about linguistic sexism will be analyzed. Methodologically, a double work will be carried out to collect information on linguistic sexism and the different publications of the RAE, from 2004 to 2020, a comparative analysis will also be carried out using the "QDA Miner" software, which allows the quantitative presentation of the frequency of each category in each of the speeches and the results that will be presented by means of pie charts.
