Gender criticism is a linguistic practice as well as a theory. The linguistic dimension of the criticism occurs more fully in written documents: there, the linearity of the spoken language is no longer an absolute constraint, which offers possibilities of disconnection between forms, or conversely of co-occurrence. Typography is a keystone of such explorations. In this paper I propose a corpus-based approach to the written forms of this politically motivated grammatical disruption in anarchist texts, and analyse what they involve in terms of politics and language, especially with regards to the emic/etic issue.
