Pauline Lehmann publishes study on gender-sensitive language in primary schools

Pauline Lehmann has released a study titled ‘Faire Sprache statt Gendern. Geschlechtersensible Sprache an Grundschulen’ (Fair Language instead of Gendering. Gender-sensitive Language in Primary Schools), published in April 2026 through GRIN-Imprint Academic Plus.

The research utilizes a critical discourse analysis based on the methods of Siegfried Jäger to examine media, political, and social positions regarding gender-sensitive language in educational settings. Lehmann notes that current discussions are often characterized by rejection and uncertainty, frequently lacking practical didactic frameworks.

To address this, the study shifts the focus from ideological debate to pedagogical opportunities. It provides a catalog of practical measures for teachers, pedagogy students, and educational professionals, including approaches for reflected language use in the classroom, methods for collaborating with parents, and a selection of annotated children’s and youth literature.
