Abstract
The primary aim of the study is to develop a gender classification system for nominal words in Filipino with a deep integration of gender within the Filipino language and culture. Using a descriptive method, the researchers selected three grammatical books in Filipino, from which they gathered examples of words related to gender. Based on the analysis of these words, a gender classification system for nominal words was developed. The classification includes: Gender with Affixes, Semantically Marked Gender, Contextualized Gender, and Non-Contextualized Gender. The study found that nominal words in Filipino possess gender such as feminine, masculine, neutral, and indefinite based on examples from the grammatical books. It was also discovered that gender is not evident in the structure of a language but in its interaction with the semantic aspects of words and society (context). It is recommended to use the developed classification of nominal words as a preliminary step towards integrating Gender and Development (GAD) into the field of language, which has not been given much attention.
Abstrak
Ang pangunahing layunin ng pag-aaral ay makabuo ng klasipikasyong pangkasarian sa mga salitang nominal sa Filipino na may malalim na integrasyon ng kasarian sa wika at kulturang Pilipino. Gamit ang deskriptibong pamamaraan, ang mga mananaliksik ay pumili ng tatlong panggramatikang aklat sa Filipino na kung saan, nakalikom ng mga halimbawang salita na may kaugnayan sa kasarian. Batay sa pagsusuri ng mga salita ay nakabuo ng klasipikasyon ng kasarian sa nominal na salita. Ito ay ang sumusunod: Kasariang Maylapi, Kasariang Markadong Semantikal, Kasariang Kontekstwalisado, at Kasariang Di Kontekstwalisado. Natuklasan ng pagaaral na ang mga salitang nominal sa Filipino ay may taglay na kasarian tulad ng pambabae, panlalaki, walang kasarian at di tiyak batay sa mga halimbawa sa mga aklat panggramatika. Kaugnay nito masasabing ang kasarian ay hindi makikita sa estruktura ng isang wika kung hindi sa pakikipag-ugnayan nito sa semantikal na aspekto ng salita at lipunan (konteksto). Nirerekomenda na gamitin ang nabuong klasipikasyon ng nominal na salita upang maging paunang daan sa integrasyon ng Gender and Development (GAD) sa larangan ng wika na hindi gaanong nabibigyan ng pansin.
