Abstract

Gender is a grammatical category in the Indo-European languages. It is generally assumed that sex and gender agree in nouns that denote animate beings, but there are many exceptions, as will be shown below (cf. also Eckert and McConnell-Ginet 2003, 68). In the Slavonic languages there are three genders, masculine (masc.), feminine (fem.) and neuter. I have chosen to compare Serbian (Sr.) and Bulgarian (Bg.) as representatives of the West-South-Slavonic and East-South-Slavonic languages respectively. I have dealt with other Slavonic languages in various articles (see in References)
