За граматичния род на съществителните в руския и българския език

ender is recognized as a grammatical category both in Russian and Bulgarian but there are substantial differences in the gender of nouns in the two languages. The types of divergence in the gender classification of nouns are pointed out, as well as the factors determining the substantial differences. The paper is a contrastive study of: 1) formal and grammatical means of gender expression (the endings of the underlying forms, the case endings in Russian, the definite article in Bulgarian) and 2) the syntactic means of the additional expression of gender (concord of the attribute and predicate with the respective noun).
