Gender
Table of contents
We can approach the intersection of language and gender from either of two perspectives, one ‘grammatical’, having to do with the properties of core linguistics (phonology, morphology, and syntax), the second semantic and pragmatic. Here I will naturally concentrate on the latter, but a few words about the former may be useful, by way of contrast.
