In linguistics, grammatical gender is a specific form of noun-class system in which the division of noun classes forms an agreement system with another aspect of the language, such as adjectives, articles, pronouns, or verbs. This system is used in approximately one quarter of the world's languages. In these languages, most or all nouns inherently carry one value of the grammatical category called gender; the values present in a given language (of which there are usually two or three) are called the genders of that language. According to one definition: "Genders are classes of nouns reflected in the behaviour of associated words."
Common gender divisions include masculine and feminine; masculine, feminine and neuter; or animate and inanimate. In a few languages, the gender assignment of nouns is solely determined by their meaning or attributes, like biological sex, humanness, animacy. However, in most languages, this semantic division is only partially valid, and many nouns may belong to a gender category that contrasts with their meaning (e.g. the word for "manliness" could be of feminine gender). In this case, the gender assignment can also be influenced by the morphology or phonology of the noun, or in some cases can be apparently arbitrary.

http://tomscott.com - @tomscott - Grammatical gender is a silly concept. So I'm about to go against my vow of descriptivism, and risk being run over by the Linguistic Mafia's bus, and say this: it's a silly idea.

https://www.soas.ac.uk/linguistics/ This talk titled "Grammatical gender and the conceptualisation of objects across five languages" was given by Roland Landor (Griffith University) on 20 October 2015 at the Department of Linguistics, SOAS University of London More about this event: https://goo.gl/U0fgnq The aim of this study was to investigate the potential relationship between grammatical categories and cognition by examining whether grammatical gender affects the conceptualisation of objects. Though several studies have set out to investigate the potential relationship between grammatical gender and cognition, the results to date seem inconclusive and somewhat contradictory. In order to address the research question guiding this investigation, a three-phase experiment was designed to un...

In Lesson 8 of my Professor Jason Jump Start Brazilian Portuguese series I talk about gender and number and the issue of agreement, a grammatical feature of Brazilian Portuguese that requires articles and adjectives to agree in number and gender with nouns. We'll also look at verbal agreement, the requirement that verb forms agree with their subjects.
Master Spanish Gender Rules of Nouns + Definite & Indefinite Articles by learning easy rules to differenciate the gender of a noun and knowing wether a noun is masculine or femenine.

And this something you want to pay attention to, because Spanish syntax and grammar require that all words in a sentence agree in number and gender with the noun or pronoun they modify. But don't worry too much, there are some easy rules to know when a noun is masculine or feminine. http://picantespanish.com
