Divlja gradnja u sferi jezika

Abstract

Konstatujući da je društvena akcija u cilju postizanja što većeg stepena ravnopravnosti između muškaraca i žena potrebna i korisna, autor dovodi u pitanje valjanost pristupa iz nedavno usvojenog Zakona o rodnoj ravnopravnosti koji nastoji da rodnu ravnopravnost uspostavlja, uz ostalo, prisilnom intervencijom u sferi jezika, kroz nametanje primene tzv. "rodno osetljivog jezika". Pored toga što ovakav pristup teško da bi mogao da zaista doprinese ravnopravnosti, prisilna intervencija u sferi jezika predstavlja povredu jezika kao segmenta nematerijalnog kulturnog nasleđa, što je suprotno Ustavu Republike Srbije i nizu međunarodnopravnih akata. Srećom, odredbe Zakona o rodnoj ravnopravnosti koje se odnose na primenu rodno osetljivog jezika su u toj meri neprecizne, nejasne i pune unutrašnjih kontradiktornosti da se može konstatovati da su neprimenjive.

Stating that social action aimed at achieving a higher degree of equality between men and women is necessary and useful, the author questions the validity of the approach in the recently adopted Law on Gender Equality that tries to establish gender equality, among other things, by forced intervention in the language sphere, through imposing the application of the so-called "gender-sensitive language". Despite the fact that such an approach could hardly contribute to actual equality, this forced intervention in the language sphere is the violation of the language as a segment of intangible cultural heritage, which is contrary to the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia and a number of international acts. Fortunately, the provisions of the Law on Gender Equality regarding the application of gender-sensitive language are inaccurate, unclear and full of internal contradictions to such an extent that it can be said that they are not applicable.
