sentences:  In addition to the absence of semantic gender neutrality it was also noted that the usage of gender markings in Turkish is asymmetrical.In translations of sentences from English texts where the gender is evident (e.g., usage of he/she or male vs. female context) it was noticed that feminine gender was marked in 50% of cases, while masculine was marked only in 5% of cases.While translations are not typically representative of linguistic data, similar asymmetry was also observed in Turkish literary and newspaper texts.
