| Justification | The GOLD ontology was developed as part of the E-MELD project
funded by the NSF (BCS0729644 and BCS0094934). The concepts were reviewed by 50
noted typologists and documentary linguists at the E-MELD 2005 workshop
(http://emeld.org/workshop/2005/proceeding.html) at Harvard University. They
have since been refined by the GOLD Community
(http://linguistics-ontology.org). |

| 2.2.2 Definition Section | |
| Definition | A gender property established on the basis of
agreement, to which nouns may be assigned, either by a semantic rule, if
they belong to the semantic residue of the assignment system, or by a formal
rule, if assignment depends on inflectional class membership. Typically,
this means that the neuter gender may cover some inanimates and possibly
some portion of lower order animates. Note: Although in familiar
Indo-European languages the term neuter gender may be part of a system with
three or less values, it can be used for systems containing more than three
gender values (e.g. Bininj Gunwok). [Kibort and Corbett
