Abstract
The pervasive sense of urgency and intimidation to which global conflicts have accustomed us is also fuelled by a seemingly subtle form of violence, such as linguistic one, which permeates both political and institutional discourse and the language of everyday life, including that of schools. Inclusive language, however, is not a secondary consideration but a fundamental professional skill for the contemporary teacher, linked to students’ rights and the quality of educational processes, and always a choice not to remain neutral. On one side research has revealed the use of discriminatory language rife with classic prejudices and stereotypes towards vulnerable groups and, on the other, a profound need for training in the use of language and for both girls and boys. Training competent teachers, therefore, means ensuring fair and non-discriminatory environments, countering linguistic stereotypes and verbal abuse, and thus foste ring a welcoming attitude towards diversity.
