Abstract

The work focuses on the use of inclusive and differentiated linguistic strategies from a gender equality perspective within written communication in the medical field to verify whether there is an alignment there with what has been attempted for several years in the administrative and legal field. To this end, the study presents a) the linguistic data obtained from the examination of 30 brochures and medical information booklets produced by Italian institutions and associations; b) the results obtained from an online survey, aimed at verifying the degree of acceptability of certain feminine forms of professional nouns in the medical field.
