Led by Dr. Marie-Pauline Krielke and in collaboration with Dra. María López-Medel from the University of Alicante and two student assistants, the new research project “GILDEES” funded with nearly €20,000 from internationalization grants is being launched. Building on the successful cooperation from the previous project “Gender Bias in Translation,” this study now focuses on examining the use of gender-inclusive language (GIL) in a Spanish-German comparison.
During the funding phase, a diachronic Spanish-German comparative corpus covering different text genres will be created and analyzed for various GIL forms focusing on how different text genres vary and evolve in their usage of GIL forms leading to innovation processes and GIL dissemination across different communicative contexts.
