Interpretació dels gèneres animals
Resum
En aquest treball examinem les propietats semàntiques de les especificacions de gènere dels noms que descriuen animals (noms d’animals), un tema que no ha rebut prou atenció en la bibliografia. Centrant-nos en el grec (modern), observem que els noms d’animals tenen diferents «gèneres per defecte», a diferència dels noms que descriuen els humans (noms d’humans), que per defecte només poden ser masculins. En principi, això sembla un problema per a la idea generalment acceptada que el masculí és la forma no marcada en llengües com el grec, però ho expliquem afirmant que aquests casos impliquen gèneres no interpretables, és a dir gèneres gramaticals. Tot i això, les nostres observacions revelen diverses diferències fonamentals entre els noms d’animals i els noms d’humans, que requereixen una investigació teòrica més completa.Paraules clau
