The term inclusive language has developed particularly in societies where the issue of differences is strictly related to multiculturalism. The essay examines a series of documents produced by institutions in higher education set mainly in Australia, but also in Canada and in the UK. In the form of Guidelines, they present various possible language use "do’s and don’ts" to fight discrimination and promote inclusiveness from a linguistic point of view.
