The aim of this commentary is to discuss and promote discussion on some linguistic and pedagogical issues around the use of gender inclusive language, particularly the -e morpheme in plural forms, in Spanish. Its speakers are experiencing and becoming aware of language change in real time concerning the use of morphosyntactic choices that seek embrace gender equality, diversity, representation, and diversity. This language change impacts directly on formal education and educational administrators who are under pressure not only from different social actors but also from their own beliefs on whether they should promote, ignore, or mitigate the linguistic changes that society is producing through their situated practices. Against this background, to what extent are educational authorities professionally prepared to encourage academic discussions on inclusive language in education? How can applied linguists help? Having these questions as our Southern Cross, our commentary lies at the intersection of language change and educational authorities’ professional knowledge.

西班牙语中的包容性语言作为对教育当局的质疑

本评论的目的是讨论和促进有关使用西班牙语中的性别包容性语言，特别是复数形式的 -e 语素的一些语言和教学问题的讨论。它的演讲者正在实时体验并意识到关于寻求性别平等、多样性、代表性和多样性的形态句法选择的使用的语言变化。这种语言变化直接影响正规教育和教育管理人员，他们不仅面临来自不同社会行为者的压力，而且还受到他们自己的信念的压力，即他们是否应该促进、忽视或减轻社会通过他们的情境实践所产生的语言变化。在此背景下，教育当局在多大程度上准备好鼓励关于教育中包容性语言的学术讨论？应用语言学家如何提供帮助？带着这些问题作为我们的南十字星，我们的评论位于语言变化和教育当局专业知识的交汇处。
