Résumé (en anglais)

The present article will explore tolerance towards gender issues and the importance of various attitudes of the non-native English language professional in Romania. The author raises more questions than offers answers. However, the author tries to clarify some concepts related to gender and tolerance, with a focus on business communication. It also looks at sexism in language suggesting ways to avoid it by using gender neutral language. The article concludes that although gender-neutral language is an advance towards acceptance of gender equality in some areas of language use, it does not challenge the underlying conventions which make masculine gender the norm.

Mots-clés (en anglais) —
