Abstract

This article gives an overview of some general, but also controversal gender features generally accepted by the typological literature in describing gender languages.

I pursue a contrastive typological strategy as my methodological principle by applying the typological connections to “unshakable” categorisations of the individual language (based on grammatical traditions) in order to test their stability. During the work I discuss these controversal gender parameters and their application to the German nominal gender system. I do not claim to supply proof for a radically new gender theory for German on the basis of this analysis, but rather I would like to show how these typological classifications and definitions show traditional grammatical categorisations of German in a different light.
