Grammatical Gender in BSL

[Adam Schembri, Deaf Studies]

I'm not aware of any evidence for grammatical gender in BSL (if by
the term grammatical gender, you are referring to the type of
grammatical phenomena found in French where nouns are classed into
'masculine' and 'feminine' categories and determiners and adjectives
show agreement, as in 'le mur vert' for 'the green wall' versus 'la
table verte' for 'the green table').

Or are you interested in variation in phonology, vocabulary and
grammar due to the gender of the signer?
