3 chair
Мы все знаем, что chair значит стул. Это слово также значит председатель или председательница. Политика избавления от так называемых сексистских, т. е. связанных с указанием пола, терминов создала массу проблем. Слова chairman и chairwoman исчезли, и таких людей сейчас называют chairpeople или chairpersons, а сокращённо — chairs. Выражение to address the chair (обратиться к председателю/председательнице) употребляется уже много лет, а новые слова chairpersonship и chairship (председательство) неблагозвучны.He has been elected chair/to the chair of the executive committee. — Он был выбран председателем исполнительного комитета.
Читателям интересно будет узнать об одном письме и ответе на него в газете «Таймс» от 16 мая 1998 г.: «Активная борьба за равенство полов отразилась и на развитии определённых языковых форм. Таким примером может служить слово chairman. В настоящее время в США слово chair вытесняет слово chairperson, а в Соединённом Королевстве слово chairman употребляется как слово среднего рода». «Мне очень нравится, что из речи исчезает слово chairperson, т. к. оно носит характер чрезмерной политической корректности, хотя мне не очень нравится и слово chair. Наилучший вариант — это chairman, которое... лишено признаков «женственности». Однако любители галантности могут употреблять элегантное обращение Madam Chairman (госпожа председатель)». -
