English Gender #

@cite{corbett-2013} @cite{corbett-1991}

WALS @cite{corbett-2013} classifies English as 3-gender, sex-based, semantic-only on the strength of the he/she/it pronoun distinction. This is the more recent of Corbett's two classifications; his 1991 monograph applies a stricter controller-marking criterion that excludes English from the gender typology. The Corbett 1991 view is a per-Study override at Phenomena/Gender/Studies/Corbett1991.lean.
