Abstract:
This is the third of a three-volume comprehensive reference work on
"Gender across Languages", which provides systematic descriptions of
various categories of gender (grammatical, lexical, referential,
social) in 30 languages of diverse genetic, typological and
socio-cultural backgrounds. Among the issues discussed for each
language are the following: What are the structural properties of the
language that have an impact on the relations between language and
gender? What are the consequences for areas such as agreement,
pronominalisation and word-formation? How is specification of and
abstraction from (referential) gender achieved in a language? Is
empirical evidence available for the assumption that masculine/male
expressions are interpreted as generics? Can tendencies of variation
and change be observed, and have alternatives been proposed for a more
equal linguistic treatment of women and men? This volume (and the
previous two volumes) will provide the much-needed basis for
explicitly comparative analyses of gender across languages. All
chapters are original contributions and follow a common general
outline developed by the editors. The book contains rich
bibliographical and indexical material. Languages of Volume III:
Czech, Danish, French, German, Greek, Japanese, Oriya, Polish,
Serbian, Swahili and Swedish.
