An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The gender system in Laceyiami nouns and pronouns is strictly linked to its honorific speech (darīmmayva, literally "society language"). In fact, the gender system itself is closer to a system of honorifics rather than to a noun class one, due to the lack of morphological marking: the gender of a noun is only marked through third person pronouns referring to it, and it is based on natural gender logic.

abstract
  • The gender system in Laceyiami nouns and pronouns is strictly linked to its honorific speech (darīmmayva, literally "society language"). In fact, the gender system itself is closer to a system of honorifics rather than to a noun class one, due to the lack of morphological marking: the gender of a noun is only marked through third person pronouns referring to it, and it is based on natural gender logic. Note that the concept of gender in the Laceyiami language does not correlate much with the biological concept of gender - gender as a grammatical category is called dairetȳva, while gender as for 'male, female, transgender, agender, ...' is ṭāṭyama. The natural gender of Laceyiami nouns is almost completely based on the structure of traditional Chlegdarim (matriarchal) society and strongly influenced by their worldview - that of the Yūnialtia, their religion.
