This is a book about the multi-faceted notion
of gender. Gender differences form the basis
for family life, patterns of socialization, distribu-
tion of tasks, and spheres of responsibilities.
The way gender is articulated shapes the world
of individuals, and of the societies they live in.
Gender has three faces: Linguistic Gender—the
original sense of ‘gender’—is a feature of many
languages and reflects the division of nouns into
grammatical classes or genders (feminine,
masculine, neuter, and so on); Natural Gender,
or sex, refers to the division of animates into
males and females; and Social Gender reflects the
social implications and norms of being a man or
a woman (or perhaps something else). Women
and men may talk and behave differently,
depending on conventions within the societies
they live in, and their role in language maintenance
can also vary. The book focuses on how gender
in its many guises is reflected in human languages,
how it features in myths and metaphors, and the
role it plays in human cognition. Examples are
drawn from all over the world, with a special
focus on Aikhenvald’s extensive fieldwork in
Amazonia and New Guinea.
