Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to present the problems and research questions that arise during thematic classification of dictionary entries. It can be seen very clearly in the case of classification of the thematic field of gender. The author describes the functioning of this field in different thematic classifications, and then tries to indicate the approximate number of names in which we can discern the determinants of gender, and extract semantic groups, in which information about gender seems to be the prime and therefore important from the perspective of the thematic typology, as well as those in which even if it occurs, it is peripherial, and therefore irrelevant for the thematic division.
