Abstract
Another contribution to the stability of the category of nominal gender is a response to the text On a review of the Grammar of the Montenegrin Language (2010), which represents A. Čirgić’s unscientific review of our paper Gender in the grammatical description of nouns (a contribution to the stability of the category of nominal gender). Despite not being engaged in scientific argumentation, as an editor of the journal in which he published his text, Čirgić gave himself permission to qualify it as a “professional paper”. The fact that we have opposed the approach of defining noun gender as a morphological category, which is taken in the Grammar of the Montenegrin Language and textbooks based on it, has been ignorantly interpreted by the co-author of the Grammar of the Montenegrin Language, Montenegrin language for the II grade of grammar school and the editor of the journal Lingua Montenegrina as our disagreement with the “methodological approach to drafting the Grammar of the Montenegrin Language”. Being one of those who do not deal with mere theoretization, here he proves his professionalism by using the strawman argument technique, inventing mistakes and deliberately missing the point, hypothesizing about the territorial identity of Montenegrins who use the forms of zeke, mede... that is to say zeki, medi..., by contemplating our leisure time, but also by speculating about the increase of our “citation rates“... Key words: nouns, grammatical gender, masculine/feminine/neuter gender, dual gender, nominative ending, noun paradigm, grammatical number, modifiers, Grammar of the Montenegrin Language (2010), Adnan Čirgić
