One Word, Two Genders

Auteur: Semplicini, Chiara
Editeur: Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften
This first academic study of double gender nouns (DGNs) in the Dutch language investigates why certain nouns have more than one gender. DGNs are shown to be part of a generalized restructuring of Dutch gender as a whole, and this study shows them to be catalysts in the transition towards a (more) semantic system.
