grammatical gender, Protagoras, Ancient Greek, Slovenian, polisAbstract
I discuss the emergence and the adoption of the terms feminine and masculine gender in the ancient grammatical tradition, which had a substantial impact on modern grammatical terminology. I analyze the earliest Ancient Greek discussions of grammatical gender and corresponding attempts to affect language use, also drawing attention to the gender of the Greek loanword polis in Slovenian.
