To promote a more open and more self-aware Applied Linguistics, we can consider how the many current and developing initiatives and resources in the field can be instruments for achieving a better world. For instance, applied linguists have examined such issues as inclusiveness (e.g., avoiding generic he) and the interface between language and environmental destruction. The purpose of this article, based on the same spirit of inclusiveness and addressing global concerns, is to highlight an observation about the instruction on the restrictive use of “who” with human beings in the recent seventh edition of the Publication manual of the American Psychological Association (2020), as a case in point to contribute to the wider discussion on inclusive language use and a respect for nonhuman animals. We invite fellow applied linguists to reflect on this issue together.

应用语言学、语言指南和包容性实践：将 who 用于非人类动物的案例

为了促进更开放和​​更具自我意识的应用语言学，我们可以考虑该领域的许多当前和发展中的举措和资源如何成为实现更美好世界的工具。例如，应用语言学家研究了诸如包容性（例如，避免通用 he）以及语言与环境破坏之间的接口等问题。这篇文章的目的，基于同样的包容精神和解决全球关注的问题，是为了强调对美国心理学出版手册最近第七版中关于限制使用“who”与人类的说明的观察。协会（2020），作为一个例子，有助于更广泛地讨论包容性语言的使用和对非人类动物的尊重。我们邀请其他应用语言学家一起思考这个问题。
