Introduction: gender and androcentrism

This lecture by Dr. Pascal Gygax, a psycholinguist from the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, delves into the interpretation of masculine language and inclusive language forms. The lecture provides historical context, linguistic insights, and psychological perspectives to support a more scientifically grounded debate. Practical tools are also presented to facilitate a shift towards more inclusive communication, encouraging the audience to move beyond binary gender concepts and consider the impact of living in a society historically centered around men.
