Zur Pragmatik des Genderns. Das Partizip I in Text und Situation
Remarks on Gender-Neutral Speech. Participle I in Text and Situation

Summary/Abstract: ‘Participle I’ often displaces masculine nomina agentis, especially because it can be used neutrally without indicating gender. A more precise analysis of such substitutions in their contexts makes clear that the grammatically based difference is still effective even in lexicalised forms. Opportunities to find gender-neutral language therefore requires the pragmatics of the description of language in authentic texts which are always formulated in special situations.
