Items related to Gender (Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics)
Gender is a fascinating category, central and pervasive in some languages and totally absent in others. In this new, comprehensive account of gender systems, over 200 languages are discussed, from English and Russian to Archi and Chichewa. Detailed analysis of individual languages provides clear illustrations of specific types of system. Gender distinction is often based on sex; sometimes this is only one criterion and the gender of nouns depends on other factors (thus 'house' is masculine in Russian, feminine in French and neuter in Tamil). Some languages have comparable distinctions such as human/non-human, animate/inanimate, where sex is irrelevant. No other textbook surveys gender across this range of languages. Gender will be invaluable both for class use and as a reference resource for students and researchers in linguistics.

From the Back Cover:
Gender is arguably the most puzzling and fascinating of all grammatical categories. In this new, comprehensive account of gender systems (including noun class systems), Greville Corbett describes both the diversity of the data and the common patterns which emerge through discussion of over 200 languages, from English and Russian to Archi and Chichewa. He also gives more detailed analyses of individual languages in order to provide clear illustrations of specific types of gender system.
