客家方言中的『性』: 超过四十个带性别词缀的名词
Chun-Fat Lau 刘镇发

Abstract 摘要
In the Hakka dialect, there are more than 40 nouns with gendered suffixes. These gendered nouns are widespread in the daily language including the names of animals, body parts and inanimate objects. Gendered nouns are also found in other neighboring dialects, but to a much lesser extent and they share little homology with these nouns. The occurrence of these nouns is a very interesting phenomenon and their significance is discussed.
