This study examines the impact of undervalued feminine forms in professional titles among Italian female professionals on LinkedIn. A corpus of 643 profiles was collected from profiles of women in law and architecture from Milan, Rome, and Naples. Using corpus analysis tools, the study found a preference for unmarked masculine forms, indicating resistance to adopting feminine forms despite long-standing linguistic recommendations. This reflects ongoing sexism and androcentrism in Italian language and society.

Abstract
This study examines the impact of undervalued feminine forms in professional titles among Italian female professionals on LinkedIn. A corpus of 643 profiles was collected from profiles of women in law and architecture from Milan, Rome, and Naples. Using corpus analysis tools, the study found a preference for unmarked masculine forms, indicating resistance to adopting feminine forms despite long-standing linguistic recommendations. This reflects ongoing sexism and androcentrism in Italian language and society.| File | Dimensione del file | Formato | |
