Non-Canonical Gender Systems

This book explores the boundaries of the category of gender and their theoretical significance within the framework of Canonical Typology. International experts analyse a variety of gender systems from a range of typologically diverse languages from across the world, from South America to Melanesia, and from Central Italy to Northern Australia.

Autorentext
Sebastian Fedden is Professor of Linguistics at the University of Paris 3 (Sorbonne Nouvelle). He has an MA from the University of Bielefeld and a PhD from the University of Melbourne. He is a typologist who specializes in morphology, nominal classification, and Papuan languages. His book A Grammar of Mian (De Gruyter Mouton, 2011) won the Gabelentz Award Association for Linguistic Typology for the best published grammar from 2009 to 2012. He is currently working with Greville G. Corbett on refining the typology of nominal classification from the perspective of Canonical Typology.

Jenny Audring is Assistant Professor at the University of Leiden. She specializes in morphology and has written extensively on grammatical gender. Her research interests range from linguistic complexity and Canonical Typology to Construction Morphology. She is currently working on morphological theory together with Ray Jackendoff and Geert Booij. Her forthcoming volumes with OUP include The Texture of the Mental Lexicon (with Ray Jackendoff) and The Oxford Handbook of Morphological Theory (co-edited with Francesca Masini).

Greville G. Corbett is Distinguished Professor of Linguistics, University of Surrey, where he leads the Surrey Morphology Group. He researches the typology of features: Gender (1991), Number (2000), Agreement (2006), and Features (2012), all with CUP. With several colleagues, he has been developing the canonical approach to typology, as in the papers in Language, on suppletion (2007) and lexical splits (2015). He is co-editor, with Dunstan Brown and Marina Chumakina, of Canonical Morphology and Syntax (OUP 2012) and, with Matthew Baerman and Dunstan Brown, of Understanding and Measuring Morphological Complexity (OUP 2015).
