It is a well-known fact that the English gender system marginally remains in personal pronouns such as he, she, and their declension. The gender distinction of these personal pronouns is based on the natural gender system such as he for males and she for females. One of the interesting phenomena about English pronominalization is the use of the feminine personal pronoun she for some special nouns such as ships, countries, airplanes, etc. when they are singular and pronominalized. The present study will introduce such exceptional nouns (optional figure of speech) and their use in pronominalization. To argue that this phenomenon is not a simple option, but an initiation of another shift of the English gender system, this paper presents three approaches to the argument: the exceptional nouns in history of English, semantic approach to the feminine pronoun use of the special nouns, and a possible explanation, a shift theory of the gender system in the English pronouns.
