Male and Female Reference in Semantic Space in Russian.

Wobst, Susan

Russian Language Journal, v35 n121-22 p35-44 Spr-Fall 1981

Uses six examples to substantiate the hypothesis that masculine root words in reference to males in Russian cover a broader semantic space than do feminine root words in reference to females. Women share in the same wide space only when implicitly included in a masculine root. (Author/BK)
