Род у граматици и савремене друштвене појаве

Abstract

У раду се указује на проблеме у опису именичког рода у савременој граматографији и лексикографији. Показује се да је након првобитно строго диференцираног класирања имена и нелингвистичких ентитета на родове и врсте уследило мешање природе имена са природом нелингвистичких ентитета, као и са односима међу елементима трочланих логичких структура типа он/она – оно. Указујући на погрешке у интерпретацији рода у граматици, те на недоследности у одређењу рода у лексикографији, указујемо и на логич- ку неутемељеност феминистичких интервенција у савременом српском језику. У раду се указује и на неутемељеност поделе људског рода на родове, као и на неоправдану замену политичко-правног израза равноправност полова изразом родна равноправност.

The paper draws attention to the inadequate interpretation of gender of nouns in contemporary grammatography. It has been shown that after an originally strictly diff erentiated classifi cation of names and nonlinguistic entities into genders and classes, the mixing of the nature of names with the nature of nonlinguistic entities occurred. In post-ancient grammar, the nominal gender is also mixed with relations regarding the elements of tripartite structures of the on/ona – ono [he/she – it] type, i.e. with the “third” member which is neutral to the oppositional diff erence between the fi rst two members (on/ona), called ‘the middle one’ in the ancient world. As a consequence, this led to the understanding that the information about the biological sex does not stem from the lexical meaning of nouns, but from formal and grammatical features, and that nouns demonstrate not only grammatical, but ‘natural’ gender as well. Such understandings could have contributed to the emergence of contemporary views that the dominance of masculine gender in grammatical structures is related to the male dominance in society. Additionally, the paper demonstrates that the division of human kind into genders is logically ungrounded, and that the replacement of the politicaljudicial term sexual equality with the term gender equality is unjustified.
