„Ta vykroucená tetka, Jaruna, včera v buzinci sbalila dobrýho kunďáka.“ aneb Sociolekt homosexuálů?
Do gays and lesbians also have their own specific language?
Workshop on the topic of “gay-speak”.
Various social groups that share common ground such as place, profession, history or interests often have their own form of language. Do gays and lesbians also have their own specific language? In English it is called “gay-speak”. In Czech, which is quite different (inflective and gendered) from English, the subject remains relatively uncharted. With Zdenek Sloboda, author of the academic paper “The Feminisation of Language by Homosexuals”, 2003, participants of this event will explore together the language of the Czech “homosexual vernacular” (Get your experiences, film quotes and everyday life anecdotes ready!).
