Sažetak
This book discusses the origin and history of the grammatical category of gender in the Indo-European family of languages. The gender systems of Proto-Indo-European (PIE), as well as those of its various daughter languages, are assessed from historical, typological, and areal points of view. In addition, common properties and tendencies (or drift) in the development of gender in different Indo-European branches are presented. The formal and semantic principles of gender assignment in PIE are examined on the basis of a reconstructed lexicon of PIE nouns.
