Abstract
The paper reviews arguments in favour of masculine “generics” from the glotopolitical point of view. For this purpose, statements of two key figures in the debates on non-sexist language, Ignacio Bosque and Concepción Company, effectuated in the digital press of Spain, Mexico and Argentina are analysed. The text focuses on the argumentative topoi and metaphors that make up the two central ideologemes for the position of Bosque and Company Company: the ideologeme of language as a “natural object” and the ideologeme that constructs partisans of non-sexist language as “radical” adversaries. These conservative ideologemes, characteristic of academicist linguistic thought, overlap with folk linguistic representations disseminated in various sectors of society, even among feminist writers.
