On the basis of three south-eastern European transition countries, Albania, Croatia and Serbia, the project examines the interdependency of gender-political and gender-linguistic aspects: the de- and re-standardization (that is extremely dynamic by European standards) implicates the construction of one's own Europeanness, which entails the language policy implementation of the EU gender equality policy. The project from a pragmatic-sociolinguistic perspective, based upon new gender theories, analyses the conceptualization of grammaticalized gender-(un)specific personal appellations. By means of perceptional studies, the role of linguistic appellation practices in discrimination processes will be tried out empirically in parallel test series, in order to point out similarities and differences of the three examined countries. In doing so, we can obtain detailed data regarding the connection between socio-political developments, language policies and gender conceptualizations.Our research so far has shown, that masculine nouns are being understood and used as allegedly gender neutral forms of personal appellations in the conventional language usage of all three countries (so-called androgeneric forms). As to which extent such an equalization of gender-unspecific and gender-specific male appellations has discriminating or privileging effects on the perception of individuals and groups of persons, little or no linguistic research has been conducted in these countries. The languages focussed on feature derivational possibilities to build symmetrical appellation forms. Nevertheless, the post-communist backlash as a re-traditionalization or return to tradition of gender roles often results in an open rejection of a gender sensitive language policy.The aim of the project applied for is to add new and important dimensions to the hitherto existing research results: the corpus linguistic examination of personal appellations in Croatian, Serbian and Albanian and the development of new and differentiated perception analyses. This way, the project is not only of pioneering importance for the examined language area, but it also provides an impetus regarding methodical and methodological issues for international gender studies and linguistics.

该项目以三个东南欧转型期国家阿尔巴尼亚、克罗地亚和塞尔维亚为基础，审查了性别政治和性别语言方面的相互依存关系：标准化和重新标准化（按照欧洲标准，这是非常动态的）意味着建立自己的欧洲性，这需要欧盟性别平等政策的语言政策执行。本文从语用社会语言学的角度，以新的性别理论为基础，分析了语法化的性别（非）特定人称称谓的概念化过程。通过知觉研究，语言称谓实践在歧视过程中的作用将在平行测试系列中进行实证检验，以指出三个被调查国家的相似性和差异。通过这样做，我们可以获得有关社会政治发展、语言政策和性别概念化之间联系的详细数据。我们迄今的研究表明，在这三个国家的传统语言使用中，阳性名词被理解和使用为所谓的性别中性的个人称谓形式（所谓的男性化形式）。至于这种不分性别和有性别区分的男性称谓的平等在多大程度上对个人和群体的看法产生了歧视或歧视的影响，这些国家很少或根本没有进行语言学研究。这些语言侧重于特征派生的可能性，以建立对称的称谓形式。尽管如此，后共产主义时期性别角色的重新传统化或回归传统的强烈反对往往会导致对性别敏感的语言政策的公开拒绝。申请的项目的目的是为迄今为止现有的研究成果增加新的重要维度：克罗地亚语、塞尔维亚语和阿尔巴尼亚语个人称谓的语料库语言学检查以及新的和差异化认知分析的发展。这样，该项目不仅对所研究的语言领域具有开创性的重要意义，而且还为国际性别研究和语言学的方法和方法问题提供了动力。
