The study explores the complexities of German personal reference, focusing on the use of the feminine suffix -in with inanimate entities, challenging the traditional view that grammatical gender is separate from biological sex. It examines whether grammatical gender influences the construction of non-personal agents and highlights the tendency toward anthropomorphism in language, where inanimate objects are assigned gendered characteristics. The research provides insights into how gender markers impact language and perception, revealing nuances in German linguistic practices.
