Abstract
This paper analyzes the concepts of gender in a social and grammatical context, comparing their relation and how the social is mirrored (and reproduced) through language. Emphasis is on how markers of gender as a social construct are removed, replaced with a more neutral element, or even with a novel element with the aim of rendering the extralinguistic gender of referents less important or unintelligible. With this aim in mind, two surveys were done to ascertain how native Croatian speakers and anglophones achieve that aim in the languages they speak, especially focusing on the treatment of nonbinary people as well as strategies they themselves employ. The results of both surveys are compared with each other, and the overall results discussed in relation to some proposed solutions for creating a more gender-neutral language. Conclusions are drawn on the popularity and willingness to use certain gender-neutral or gender-inclusive language patterns.
