Feature gend

The feature gender applies to all the Types of pronouns.

An interesting generalization emerges from the Type hierarchy table of personal pronouns (see 5.2) about the constraints of the gender in combination with the feature person: for the items with the person values 1 and 2 only the common gender is relevant. They may be interpreted either as masculine or as feminine pronouns, the gender depending from the gender of the semantic referent.
