Cinco décadas de linguística feminista: índices de consolidação do campo

Abstract

In this article, we search to fi nd out, fi ve decades aft er the fi eld’s foundation in 1975, the main language and gender literature, which has been infl uencing post 2000 articles of Feminist linguistic researches. We studied these same articles regarding their explicit positioning about the relevance of the gender for feminist linguistics research. For that, we selected articles produced in Anglophone and Brazilian contexts, published from 2000 to 2017. The results suggest that the set of publications most cited as theoretical support by the analysed articles is those of the British linguist Deborah Cameron. The most individually consulted work is Judith Butler’s Gender Trouble (1990). Regarding the relevance of gender issues for research, we notice that most of the articles take its importance for granted, which can be taken as an index of the consolidation of the field.
