By drawing a clear line between the denotatum and the designatum and viewing gender as part of the solution to the problem of giving linguistic representation to a mental construal of a spatial nature, this study avoids one of the recurrent stumbling blocks which has hindered research -- the temptation to define a grammatical category using biological parameters. The evidence presented shows that gender is not a representation of the presence or absence of sex, human traits, or even personality, but rather the sign of a more abstract mental operation, that which consists in defining the contained space, the form which is implied by any notional content construed in the nominal domain.Cahiers de Psychomécanique du Langage Gender in Modern EnglishEnglish languagePronounEnglish languageGenderEnglish languagePronoun.English languageGender.429.55Morris Lori1959-1740734Duffley Patrick J623238MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910862094203321Gender in Modern English4166538UNINA
