This article focuses on the field of higher studies, while recognizing its circulation and the large group of national universities that approved its use through resolutions of the Superior Council and the Board of Directors. It is based on the hypothesis that it is a challenge for national universities to lay out a descriptive grammar that guides those who wish to use inclusive/non-sexist language and advances in a systematization that recognizes three different positions: on the one hand, a “line of androcentric language”, supported by those who support the existence of a pure language and cling to the norm; on the other, a “binary language line”, made up of those who try to make women visible; finally, a “non-binary language line”, which groups the uses that consider all people not subsumed in the male/female dichotomy. A didactic proposal is offered that allows addressing this problem and provides tools to decide -or not- to use a non-sexist or inclusive language. Desde hace algunos años, Argentina es uno de los focos de la aparición, en escenarios diversos, de ciertos usos lingüísticos cobijados bajo el nombre de “lenguaje inclusivo”. Este artículo se centra en el campo de los estudios superiores, en tanto se reconoce su circulación y el numeroso grupo de universidades nacionales que aprobaron su uso a través de resoluciones del Consejo Superior y el Consejo Directivo. Se parte de la hipótesis de que es un desafío de las universidades nacionales diagramar una gramática descriptiva que oriente a quienes deseen usar el lenguaje inclusivo/no sexista y se avanza en una sistematización que reconoce tres posturas diferentes: por un lado, una «línea de lenguaje androcéntrico», apoyada por quienes sostienen la existencia de una lengua pura y se aferran a la norma; por otro, una «línea de lenguaje binario», conformada por quienes intentan visibilizar a las mujeres; por último, una «línea de lenguaje no binario», que agrupa los usos que consideran a todas las personas no subsumidas en la dicotomía masculino/femenino. Se ofrece una propuesta didáctica que permite abordar esta problemática y pone a disposición herramientas para decidir -o no- utilizar un lenguaje no sexista o inclusivo.
