Zusammenfassung

The avoidance of the generic masculine is an important part of a gender-neutral use of the German language. This paper presents a rule-based natural language processing system that identifies occurrences of the generic masculine and suggests gender-neutral corrections. The system was evaluated with 238 labeled news articles from the TIGER corpus. About 88 % of the occurrences were correctly identified. Grammatically well-formed suggestions could be generated for about 94 % of the correctly identified occurrences. A web application was developed to support gender-neutral writing by suggesting corrections for nouns and pronouns written in the generic masculine.
