T1 Los procedimientos lexicales para la expresión del género en latín
A1 González Lui, Francisco
AB The aim of this paper is to summarize the views of differents scholars on heteronymy and on the lexemes of complementation or supporting lexemes, that is, thelexical devices used for expressing gender in Latin. Heteronymy is studied herethrough distinguishing the two lexical series in which it appears: kinship namesand domestic animal names. In reviewing them one reaches the conclusion thatLatin has inherited not only the majority of Indoeuropean heteronymic couples,but has also created new ones in the course of its evolution. With respect to thecomplementation terms, mas/femina, the study offers the lexical groups inwhich such supporting lexemes are used, viz. a) for distinguishing sex in namesof common gender (communia nomina) or epicene (epicoena nomina) andin names of animals used as victims of ritual sacrifices; b) for other technicalclassifications; and c) for indicating the terminology of grammatical gender in earlygrammarians.
