Episode 4
German is a gender language, which means that all nouns have a grammatical gender, these being feminine, masculine, and neuter in German. This makes it very tricky to be fully gender-inclusive or gender-neutral in spoken and written German, especially because the masculine gender is so dominant.
In this episode I talk to Maria Pober (University of Vienna) about the gender system in German grammar as well as some ways it may be possible to speak or write in a gender-neutral way.
