In this chapter, I explain how terminology has been used in Italian to study: a. gendered language, that is, feminisation of job titles in traditionally masculine spaces, and b. gender-inclusive language, that is, strategies used to refer to non-binary people or to address genericity. The terminology is first seen through the existing work done since the 1980s, covering the two conceptualisation of gender—binary and non-binary. Subsequently, I conduct a thorough a quantitative investigation, examining the corpus Italian Trends (2014–today) available through SketchEngine; results show that some terms are stable throughout the 10 years investigated while others emerge later, for example, schwa. Schwa is used as a metonym for gender-inclusive language, being the strategy that captured the attention of speakers, critics, and linguists. Because of this, schwa has also become a political tool that far-right newspapers use to attack the left and, more specifically, Elly Schlein, the first female secretary of Partito Democratico. This is investigated in the second part of the analysis.
