Summary
"Keep from inadvertently offending or alienating anyone by following six straightforward guidelines developed by a down-to-earth linguistic anthropologist and business consultant. In today's polarized and highly contentious climate, language is seen by many as a minefield. People are afraid of "getting cancelled." Of making embarrassing mistakes. Of sounding outdated or out of touch. They have questions and The Inclusive Language Field Guide has the answers. This book is filled with real-world stories, foundational principles, and easy exercises to guide people into new habits. It is grounded in rigorous social science and draws on original analysis to teach people exactly how to make better choices"-- Provided by publisher.
