In this study, we present an analysis of gender assignment tendencies in Jamtlandic, a language variety of Sweden, using a word list of 1029 items obtained from fieldwork. Most research on gender assignment in the Scandinavian languages focuses on the standard languages (Steinmetz 1985; Källström 1996; Trosterud 2001, 2006) and Norwegian dialects (Enger 2011, Kvinlaug 2011, Enger & Corbett 2012). However, gender assignment principles for Swedish dialects have not previously been researched. We find generalizations based on semantic, morphological, and phonological principles. Some of the principles apply more consistently than others, some ‘win’ in competition with other principles; a multinomial logistic regression analysis provides a statistical foundation for evaluating the principles. The strongest tendencies are those based on biological sex, plural inflection, derivational suffixes, and some phonological sequences. Weaker tendencies include non-core semantic tendencies and other phonological sequences. Gender assignment in modern loanwords differs from the overall material, with a larger proportion of nouns assigned masculine gender.

斯堪的纳维亚 Jamtlandic 品种的性别分配模式

在这项研究中，我们使用从田野调查中获得的 1029 个项目的单词列表，对瑞典的一种语言 Jamtlandic 中的性别分配趋势进行了分析。大多数关于斯堪的纳维亚语言性别分配的研究都集中在标准语言 (Steinmetz 1985; Källström 1996; Trosterud 2001, 2006) 和挪威方言 (Enger 2011, Kvinlaug 2011, Enger & Corbett 2012)。然而，瑞典方言的性别分配原则以前没有被研究过。我们发现基于语义、形态和语音原则的概括。有些原则比其他原则适用更一致，有些原则在与其他原则的竞争中“获胜”；多项逻辑回归分析为评估这些原则提供了统计基础。最强的趋势是那些基于生物性别、复数变形、派生后缀和一些语音序列的趋势。较弱的趋势包括非核心语义趋势和其他语音序列。现代外来词中的性别分配与整体材料不同，更大比例的名词被赋予男性性别。
