Wikipedia

  1. Binnen-I

    In German, a word-internal capital I (German: Binnen-I) is a non-standard, mixed case typographic convention used to indicate gender inclusivity for nouns having to do with people, by using a capital letter 'I' inside the word (Binnenmajuskel, literally "internal capital", i.e. camel case) surrounded by lower-case letters. An example is the word LehrerInnen ("teachers", both male and female). With a lower case I in that position, Lehrerinnen is just the standard word for "female teachers". The Binnen-I is a non-standard solution for how to economically express a position of gender equality in one German word, with an expression that would otherwise require three words. In English, the issue of ungendered words might be expressed by simple, unmarked, ungendered words such as teacher (or teachers), students, professors, and so on, without implying a gender, but the situation in German is more difficult, since all nouns have one of three genders, masculine, feminine, or neuter. When used with a noun designating a group of people, a Binnen-I indicates that the intended meaning of the word is both the femininine as well as the masculine forms, without having to write out both forms of the noun. It is formed from the feminine form of a noun containing the ‑in suffix (singular) or ‑innen suffix (plural). For example, Lehrerinnen (women teachers) would be written LehrerInnen, with the meaning (men and women) teachers, without having to write out both gender forms, or use the semantically unmarked masculine. Other gender-inclusive typographic conventions exist in German that perform a similar function, such as the gender star.
