Further analyses show a positive correlation between the attitudes toward gender-inclusive language and the evaluation of the text, but only when the text is written with this kind of language. Finally, the comments left by the respondents provide new perspectives on the use and reception of gender-inclusive writing by 377 French speakers. (Less)
