Abstract:

This book is a contribution to the study of the linguistic concept of gender.
It focuses on the problem of assigning gender to animal nouns. This problem is
topical in view of the fact that in present-day English, gender is a marginal
grammatical category and therefore recedes into the background in descriptions
of today’s English. Grammatical gender is a rare topic of research, scientific
discussions or papers. The detailed analysis of gender assignment to animal
names is based on two subcorpora: the English edition of National Geographic
and the English edition of the Journal of Zoology. The book closes with a
contrastive analysis of gender markers.
