Abstract:
This book explores the boundaries of the category of gender and their
theoretical significance within the framework of Canonical Typology.
Grammatical gender is a famously puzzling category: although it has been
widely explored from a typological perspective, studies are constantly
identifying exciting and unexpected patterns in gender systems, many of which
cannot be easily classified or straightforwardly analysed. Some of these
patterns stretch or even threaten to cross the largely unexplored outer
boundaries of the category.
In the canonical approach, morphosyntactic features like gender are
established in terms of a canonical ideal: the clearest instance of the
phenomenon. The canonical ideal is a clustering of properties that serves as a
baseline to measure the actual examples observed. In this volume,
international experts use this approach to analyse a range of gender systems
that diverge from the canonical ideal, and to determine to what extent each
component property of these systems can be considered canonical. Chapters
explore a wide range of typologically diverse languages from all over the
world, from South America to Melanesia, and from Central Italy to Northern
Australia. The book will be of interest to all linguists working in the field
of typology, from graduate level upwards, as well as to morphologists and
syntacticians of all theoretical stripes who have an interest in grammatical
gender.
