Title: The Terminology of Formation of Feminine/Masculine Pairs
Abstract: The authors analyze linguistic terminology connected with word formation of feminine and masculine pairs in Croatian (mocijska tvorba ‘gender formation’, mocijske tvorenice ‘gender derivations’, mocijski parovi/parnjaci ‘gender pairs’, markirani/obilježeni član ‘marked member’, mocijski sufiks/dometak ‘gender suffix’). In analyzing the word formation of masculine-feminine pairs as well as defining masculine-feminine pairs, special attention is paid to terminological differentiation of the Croatian terms rod ‘gender’ and spol ‘sex, gender’, which are often found in definitions of word formation of feminine words from masculine words as well as masculine-feminine pairs. Sometimes these terms also enter as an element in multiword linguistic terms. The translation possibilities of these concepts in several languages are analyzed, especially the existence of English equivalents for these terms.
