Preliminary Recommendations

Gender

A Gender value tag set is applicable to Dutch for Personal, Demonstrative, Possessive, Interrogative, Reflexive and Relative Pronouns, but is not found in the CELEX tagset.

The table below is a proposal for Dutch, not a CELEX table.

Attribute Value Du. example Du. tag
Gender masculine zijn (vader) Masc
feminine haar (vader) Fem
neuter welk (boek) Neut

Gender of pronouns is very important for contextual disambiguation of gender ambiguities. See Noun.
