Nonbinary Czech Language: Characteristics and discourse

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This article focuses on the possibilities of non-binary language use in Czech, in the context of the difficulties posed in this morphologically rich Slavic language. Its broad aim is to provide insights into existing and emerging language strategies, and the meta-discourses that surround them. The available means of gender-fair language are discussed, and possibilities of non-binary Czech language are derived from them. The analysis turns to the possibilities for expressing non-binarity, presenting emic insights of the non-binary community members&apos; own language use, choices, innovations, as well as meta-linguistic reflections. The discourse coming from the non-binary community draws attention to some less understood connections of language, self-expression, authenticity and social perception, while the out-group discourses that reject attempts at non-binary language use draw on broad views of what is ‘natural’ in language and society. The emerging voices suggest that despite the general absence of debates on non-binary language in Czech academia and public discourse, a lot is happening ‘underground’, in personal language use, community interactions and group outlets, reflecting an ongoing negotiation of the tensions between gender-normative structures and the range of feasible agentive practices to subvert them.
