“…On the other hand, the probability that the pervasiveness of the M1 predominance in mixed-sex binomials has been erased is extremely low. As the studies by Vefalı and Erdentuğ (2010) and Liberman (2009) outlined above demonstrate, more recent corpora do not show substantial changes with respect to conjunct order in mixed-gender binomials, despite today’s higher public awareness of linguistic sexism.…”

“…Among the few studies to date that concentrate on conjunct order in mixed-sex coordinated noun phrases is one conducted by Vefalı and Erdentuğ (2010). However, the authors merely focus on the use of coordinations involving the lexemes woman and man in a corpus of New Age talks and compare it to usage patterns in the British National Corpus (BNC; see the Data and Method section) and the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA).…”

The present study focuses on word order patterns in English personal binomials and argues that conjunct order in this binomial type is partly subject to other factors than those shown in earlier research on binomials in general. On the theoretical level, mixed-gender personal binomials are discussed as linguistic instantiations of dominance and difference thinking in relation to gender. On the empirical level, the article presents an in-depth study of personal binomials in the written component of the BNC. The factor with the highest impact on conjunct order is found to be lexical gender. Moreover, the modifying influence of a range of other factors is tested. Among these are factors that have proven relevant in earlier research on word order in binomials (phonology, orthography, conjunct frequency) as well as factors that have so far not or only sporadically been tested (lexical field, morphology, sex of author, target audience sex). Finally, the findings are related to more recent theoretical discussions of the relationship between language and gender.

“…Of particular importance for this research are the studies of scholars in the lexicological field, in particular those related to gender studies, such as Kjellmer (1986), who was the first scholar to analyse the use of the terms 'man / men' and 'woman / women', together with the occurrence of the masculine and feminine pronouns, with the aim to unravel a male bias in American and British English in both the Lancaster-Oslo/Bergen and Brown corpora. Similar studies followed the lexicological stream highlighted by Kjellmer (Eckert & McConnell-Ginet, 2003;Pearce, 2008;Vefali & Erdentuğ, 2010;Hankivsky, 2013;Taylor, 2013;Moon, 2014;Baker, 2014), with the aim to define and analyse the different use of the masculine and feminine forms in order to unveil the biases stemming from the use of these forms in a given corpus. This research aims in part to uncover any male biases in the language used in the EURM Legal Corpus.…”

, for her valuable guidance and support in writing this dissertation. To my family, and in particular to Paolo, for his support in helping make my dream come true. To my daughters, who did not fail to inspire me every single day of our life together, giving me a reason to become a better me and pursue my doctoral studies. To Claudia Lucia Mejia de la Pava, for her continuous support, for the participation to our "consejos de guerra" and for making this doctoral studies a beautiful journey into Friendship. A special thanks to my friends and colleagues who work for the European Institutions all over Europe (and beyond!), and in particular to those who participated to the EU HRM Legal Framework questionnaire: without their valuable inputs, this research would not be meaningful. And finally, a special thank, which will hopefully break the wall of time and space, to Professor Angelina Desiderio: if it were not for her and the love for culture and research as she taught me, I would not be who I am today. And as the adage goes, all the errors, omissions, mistakes, limitations that may arise from this dissertation are mine and only mine.
