I too would love to receive a copy. While searching, I discovered this FirstMonday article which seems related: http://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/2826/2814 On Wed, Apr 1, 2015 at 2:52 PM, Daniel Moyer &lt;moyerd(a)usc.edu&gt; wrote:

Fabian, I talked with Amanda Menking about this once, about a year ago. But no, I don't believe there has been any academic work on the issue (another consequence of our over-focus on enwiki). Mako Hill and Aaron Shaw presented a paper on redirects at WikiSym last year, and their enwiki corpus & methodology <http://communitydata.cc/wiki-redirects/> could help you or others extend that line of research into gendered languages: http://mako.cc/academic/hill_shaw-consider_the_redirect.pdf Hope that helps! - Jonathan On Thu, Apr 2, 2015 at 1:28 PM, Flöck, Fabian &lt;Fabian.Floeck(a)gesis.org&gt; wrote: -- Jonathan T.

Jonathan, Max, thanks for the pointers! I found the Reagle/Rhue as well, but like you said, it's only one smaller aspect of their data handling, so not exactly what I'm looking for.

One thing to be careful of in such a study (though I would also like to see it!) is tha the politics and preferences in this area vary widely across languages, and sometimes within a language, so a purely data-driven study has to be careful about its assumptions and generalizations. Below a long-ish discussion of Greek that you may skip if not interested (it ended up longer-winded than I had expected): For example in Greek it is very profession-specific whether the trend is towards using a slashed form of both genders, or towards convergence on a single form that applies to both genders (sometimes with atypical morphology). Sometimes it depends on the specific word form and historical usage. In fields that historically had both men and women, both forms are very well established and tend to persist, e.g. a male teacher is a δάσκαλος and a female one is a δασκάλα. But in fields that were typically so male-dominated that only the masculine version has been in common use, there's disagreement over whether it's more progressive to "revive" a feminine form, or to generalize the masculine form to cover both genders. For example a female president would universally be called by the historically masculine form πρόεδρος, but with a feminine article (i.e. πρόεδρος can now be either a masculine or feminine noun, depending on context, even though it's morphologically irregular as a feminine noun). There is in Byzantine Greek a feminine analog, προέδρισσα (referring to a different position), but it isn't used today outside humorous contexts (roughly where you might use "Presidentess" in English). The same applies for a number of other more common professions, but for some it's more disputed which form should be used (for President there isn't any usage variance). In short it's complex, so I hope any data set is careful about what it's counting as data, and why. :) -Mark -- Mark J.
