Abstract:

This is the fourth volume of a comprehensive reference work which provides
systematic descriptions of the manifestations of gender in languages of
diverse areal, typological and socio-cultural affiliations. To the 30
languages already analysed in previous volumes, Vol. 4 adds another 12
languages whose gendered structures have received little or no academic
attention in the past. Again, the collection includes a broad spectrum of
languages: It contains languages with and without grammatical gender, a
language with noun classification and a classifier language; larger national
languages as well as smaller languages with minority status; and, of course,
members of diverse language families, i.e. Indo-European as well as
Finno-Ugrian, Iroquois, Tai-Kadai and Niger-Congo. The volume illustrates the
tremendous variation found in the area of gender representation across
languages. At the same time, it will provide the much-needed material required
for an explicitly comparative approach to linguistic manifestations of gender.
