French immersion: Accounting for feminine form on the web

Theme:
Virtual
When:
2:15 PM, Friday 10 Feb 2023 (45 minutes)
Where:
  Virtual session
This session is in the past.
The virtual space is closed.
How:

In French, the doublet (e.g., étudiantes et étudiants) is often used instead of the masculine form. Although long and sometimes impractical, this helps make our communications more inclusive. For contexts where the space is restricted, the truncated form - la forme tronquée ou doublet abrégé - (e.g., étudiant.e.s) is now commonly used. In this presentation, we'll discuss current trends and limitations, share resources and propose guidelines for the web. - Étant donné la nature du sujet, la présentation sera en français.
