Beschreibung
This monograph is the first of its kind to deal specifically with gender assignment in a North Germanic language. When discussing the morphological rules, it is shown that there is a difference between noun inflection in Faroese and gender assignment in that a noun has, in addition to class membership, eight independent gender markers, and the division between controller genders and target genders plus the different rules, morphological and semantic, shows how gender is an ordering principle requiring agreement, and that it thus divides the Mental Lexicon into classes which governs agreement.
