This first academic study of double gender nouns (DGNs) in the Dutch language investigates why certain nouns have more than one gender. DGNs are shown to be part of a generalized restructuring of Dutch gender as a whole, and this study shows them to be catalysts in the transition towards a (more) semantic system.
