The Tendencies in the Formation of Gender-marked Nouns
ROTTENBORNOVÁ, Lucie
The aim of the present thesis is to provide description and analysis of the tendencies of gender-marked nouns denoting occupational titles in English. The first part focuses on the ways English language forms gender-specific terms and where gender marking is still relevant. This part deals with detailed analysis of word-formation processes, particularly with lexicalized compounds and suffixation phrases. The second part presents results based on search engine Google N-Gram Viewer which operates with the Google Books database. It gives frequency of masculine and feminine occurrences of competitive forms where not lexicalized compounds are concerned. The thesis is complemented with tables, figures and case studies.
