"Мы так говорим. Обидные слова и как их избежать" by Maria Sergeevna Bobyleva
Why do some words hurt more than others? In this essential guide, linguists, activists, psychologists, and subject-matter experts join author Maria Bobyleva to explore the language of tolerance. The book examines terms like "invalid," "homeless," "wheelchair user," and "transgender," unpacking why they can be problematic or simply incorrect. Bobyleva also addresses phrases such as "catching cancer," "losing virginity," or "having sex reassignment surgery," revealing the hidden biases and inaccuracies in everyday speech.
This work serves as a follow-up to the online project "Мы так не говорим" ("We Don't Say That") by the portal "Such Matters." It explains what tolerant vocabulary is, where it comes from, and why it sparks so much debate today. At 1,037.00 RUR, this book offers a thoughtful, research-backed perspective on how our words shape reality and how to choose them more consciously. Perfect for readers interested in inclusive communication, social awareness, and the evolving landscape of respectful language.
