Abstract The present study constitutes a contribution to the development of the concept of inclusive style as the basis of inclusive stylistics. The author provides a justification for the necessity of such a style and presents fundamental concepts for the description of an inclusive style. The ideology of social inclusion is the theoretical foundation upon which the programme is based. The ideology of social inclusion is predicated on the notion that an inclusive society is both legitimate and stimulates the promotion of inclusive communication in social practice. The author further develops his theory of such communication, and, building on its background, he presents ideas aimed at illuminating an inclusive style. He comprehends this style as the unity of inclusive communication and language style, and consequently responds to the need to clarify communication and language style, as well as the relationship between them. The study calls for empirical investigation of communication from the perspective of inclusive language use, alongside the monitoring of anti-inclusive factors.
