مقولة الجنس في اللغة

الملخص EN

This study dealt with the "Sex" (i.e., masculinization and feminization) in the language, making the Arabic language the focus of study, compared to English and French, with pointing to the phenomenon of sex in other languages, aiming at the determination of the behavior of languages in this phenomenon, which connected to some social concepts that look at it as an image of the alleged conflict between men and women.

the study followed the analytical descriptive methodology.

the most important findings of the study : the logic of the language is different from the logic of the mind.

in some languages we notice characteristics of the masculine with the signs of feminization and characteristics that describe feminine that are free of signs of feminization such as in Arabic, which led some scholars to say that the signs of feminization in Arabic are not frequent in Arabic if the subject is figuratively feminine.

In Arabic in case of metaphorical subject, it is permissible to attach Taa Attaneeth as a sign of feminization to the verb, even if the subject is directly followed the verb, because feminization was not real.

the issue of sex has preoccupied linguists very early on, especially with regard to metaphorical masculinization and feminization.

some languages used the signs of feminization to infer the feminine metaphor, from those languages : Arabic and French, and some other languages neglected it and made it a third section.

the French used many suffixes and tools to distinguish sex, which led some to compare French to Arabic in this aspect.

there is a similarity between Arabic and French in the feminization and masculinization of characteristics with what is described contrary to English.

the identification of neutrality as male or female, in which peoples and nations differ according to their concepts and beliefs, which make this issue not referring to particular logic.

the feminist philosophies in the modern era, extremely, have given gender a different social content than the content assigned to it by linguistics.

this is because we find in the language characteristics describe the feminine devoid of signs of feminization and others that characterize the masculine by signs of feminization and characteristics that shared between them.
