| 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 convention for labeling gender values. Roman
numerals are often used for languages for which there is a descriptive
tradition involving use of the term 'noun class' instead of 'gender', in
particular in languages of the Caucasus or Bantu languages, and are
particularly useful where the number of genders is large.If the 'noun
classes' are involved in agreement systems, they are gender systems. Roman
numerals may also be used in instances where another label is possible. In
one language the gender to which nouns with male rational denotation are
assigned might be called 'masculine', whereas in another language nouns with
a similar denotation may be assigned to a gender with an arbitrary Roman
numerical label such as 'I'. [Kibort and Corbett 2008a] |
