Overall Research Project Description:
As I member of the Queer community, I have a big interest in the relationship between Language, identity and gender. I want to study and describe how inclusive language in Spanish is being used. I want to approach to the topic considering nonbinary identities, gender equality, and language and identity. In Spanish there is a use of -e or -x morpheme as a way to use inclusive language, I am analyzing what is happening in the Latino community, and showing why it is important for some identities that language represent them. 

Research Tasks:
