Animacy is grammatical feature, like gender, used in some languages (Slavic languages, ...). It should be treated independently of the gender. Pamputt (talk) 08:23, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
Discussion edit
- @Pamputt: I assume you intended this as an independent property proposal, rather than attached to the proposal for "subject lexeme"? You should split it off as a new page then. ArthurPSmith (talk) 14:57, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
- Indeed. It is better now. Pamputt (talk) 15:38, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
Comment isn't it boolean-like property animate/inanimate? I remember such properties should be avoided. Perhaps we need general "grammatical features" property for lexemes like for forms. KaMan (talk) 15:59, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
