In response to shifting sociocultural constructions of gender and the emerging visibility of non‐binary subject positions, grammatically binary linguistic systems, such as French, are being challenged, subverted, and adapted. This paper describes and analyzes formal, structural, and ideological aspects of how contemporary French speakers are confronting and innovating beyond the gender binary, highlighting the lack of scholarly attention and increase in public salience afforded to these issues. Survey data from 174 adult speakers of French are used to outline the forms used by non‐binary Francophones, the degree of form variance, and the self‐reported comprehensibility ratings of these forms. The findings establish consistent trends in the non‐binary language forms used and their comprehensibility, while highlighting the importance of variance for individual agency in non‐binary Francophone communities. These findings are foundational to a consideration of the of teaching non‐binary forms in foreign language classrooms and curricula for inclusivity and competence development.

法语非二进制语言：法语非二进制语言者使用的语言形式

为了应对性别的社会文化结构的变化和非二进制主题位置的新兴可见性，语法上的二进制语言系统（例如法语）正在受到挑战，颠覆和调整。本文描述并分析了当代法国讲者在性别二元化之外如何面对和创新的形式，结构和意识形态方面，强调了学者们对这些问题的关注和公众关注度的提高。来自174名讲法语的成年人的调查数据用于概述非二进制法语使用的形式，形式差异的程度以及这些形式的自我报告的可理解性等级。调查结果确立了所使用的非二进制语言形式及其可理解性的一致趋势，同时强调了差异对于非二元法语社区中单个代理机构的重要性。这些发现是考虑在外语教室和包容性和能力发展课程中考虑非二进制形式教学的基础。
