Abstract:

This book offers the first comprehensive survey of the study of gender and
classifiers throughout the history of Western linguistics. Based on an
analysis of over 200 genetically and typologically diverse languages, the
author shows that these seemingly arbitrary and redundant categories play in
fact a central role in the lexicon, grammar and the organization of discourse.
As a result, the often contradictory approaches to their functionality and
semantic motivation encapsulate the evolving conceptions of such issues as
cognitive and cultural correlates of linguistic structure, the diverse
functions of grammatical categories, linguistic complexity, agreement
phenomena and the interplay between lexicon and grammar. The combination of a
typological and historiographic perspective adopted here allows the reader to
appreciate the detail and insight of earlier, supposedly ‘prescientific’
accounts in light of the data now available and to examine contemporary
discussions in the context of prevailing conceptions in the study of language
at different points in its history since antiquity.
