Summary/Abstract: The interrogative-relative pronouns in the contemporary Slavonic languages, with the exception of who, what (and their respective compounds) and how much / many, can by divided into three classes in contemporary Slavonic languages: masculine, feminine, neuter. In addition, most of them change form just like adjectives do. In conclusion, pronominal classes appear similar to nouns, adjectives and numbers from the point of view of grammatical proprieties, but they differ from them in terms of semantic classification.
