Linguagem neutra de gênero: relações entre gênero gramatical do português e o gênero biopsicossocial

Abstract

The research addresses on the relationships between grammatical gender and its relation to the being’s gender and the biopsychosocial gender, so that through it the argument used to legitimize the necessity of inserting new morphic elements that may be comprehended in its adequate place and the proposals of neutrality can be analyzed. The analyses is based on Camara Jr. 's structuralism (2015) presented in his work named Estrutura da Língua Portuguesa (The Portuguese Language), published for the first time in 1970. Other authors, such as Barbosa Filho (2022), Bechara (2015), Jamilk (2021), Lucchesi (2021) e Schwindt (2020) were used as theoretical background. The work develops in a way to be the basis for its three distinct pillars. First of all, it addresses to the description of the grammatical gender; then, limits its concept to the biopsychosocial gender in order to present a prominent argument to develop a neutral gender in the Portuguese language’s system; and, lastly, analyzes not only the embryonic proposals, which suggested that elements such as -@ and -X as morphic elements that might meet the demand of linguistic representation of the non binary; but also the most sturdy proposals of a neutral system which reaches many grammatical classes.
