Critical Analysis of Masculine and Feminine System of Sindhi Language
Abstract
Languages have grammatical systems that include respective
structures of masculine-feminine representation. There may be some
grammatical, structural and linguistic similarities among different
languages and language-families. This is essentially the study of rules
and principles that form the configuration of a sentence. Speakers of any
language have a set of adopted and assumed directions and procedures
for using that language, which take form of rules and eventually create
grammar of the language. The Masculine-feminine system is one of the
most common features of any language; the same is true of Sindhi
language, too.
Keeping the syntactic grouping in view, the Masculine-feminine
is essentially figured presentation of words in terms of gender.
Therefore, masculine are used to denote the qualities, attributes and
appearance that are traditionally associated with the men. Likewise, the
feminine is a gender description that is used to signify the qualities,
attributes and appearance that are traditionally associated with the
women. Sindhi is Indo-Aryan language that has been closely affiliated
with and has strong associations with various languages and language
families. Arabic, Persian, Urdu and Hindi are the leading languages that
have influenced the Sindhi in many respects. Sindhi language has its own
grammar system but the influence of aforesaid languages has put many
positive as well negative impacts on it.
This paper depicts the picture of the Masculine and Feminine
system in Sindhi language in the context of animate and inanimate
objects. Today’s languages have various sorts of pronouns including
Gender-specific pronouns and Gender-neutral pronouns. Issues may
arise in languages with gender-specific pronouns in case the gender of
the referent is unknown or not specified; this is discussed under Genderneutral language.
