Summary/Abstract: In French, the masculine and feminine have become categories that are independent from animation and sex. This generalization was facilitated by the extraction and anterior displacement of the mark in relation to gender semanteme. The Italian morphology is yet intrinsically linked to the lexical meaning in the word. We present our theoretical assumptions and present the results of a survey conducted in Calabria.
