摘要
2021年,拥有广泛受众的《罗贝尔词典》正式将法文新词iel纳入官方词库,并计划于2023年付梓。一石激起千层浪,法国社会对此褒贬不一。争论背后,一个更为宏大的语言现象被触及,即滥觞于女权主义的包容性写作。本文以人称代词iel为起点,落脚于该词所属的包容性书写。文章介绍iel进入词典的大背景,解释其概念及用法,揭示成因,评析后果,进而探究国内学界着墨不多的包容性书写,并力图从书写、语音、语法、词义等四个角度分析其局限性,以阐明此类书写现象所面临的问题。
In 2021, Le Robert, a dictionary with a wide audience, has officially included the new French word “iel” in its lexicon, which is scheduled to be printed in 2023. This decision cannot go without making waves in French society. Behind the debate, a larger linguistic phenomenon is touched upon, namely the inclusive writing that emerged from feminism. This essay discusses the birth of the personal pronoun “iel”, explores the inclusive writing movement behind it. The general background to the inclusion of “iel” and its concept and usage, as well as the causes and consequences of such inclusion are analyzed. The inclusive writing, which has received little attention in the domestic academic community and which is confronted with four major limitations in terms of writing,phonology, grammar and signification, is also highlighted.
