A petition for a referendum (called: "Schluss mit Gendersprache in Verwaltung und Bildung" / eng.: "abolition of gender language in administration and education") was formed in Hamburg in February 2023. The project "Empirical Gender Linguistics" at the "Leibniz Institute for the German Language" took this as an opportunity to completely scrap the "https://www.hamburg.de" website (except the list of ships in the Port of Hamburg and the yellow page). The Hamburg.de website is the central digital contact point for citizens. The scraped texts were cleaned, processed and annotated using http://www.CorpusExplorer.de (TreeTagger - POS/Lemma information).
We use the corpus to analyze the use of words with gender signs.
