Abstract:

This paper proposes a critical review of grammatical gender in Spanish, focusing on the analysis of its binary nature and its articulation with Western thought frameworks that contribute to its reinforcement. To problematize this phenomenon, decolonial and antipatriarchal theories are employed, with the aim of observing and deconstructing the dichotomous schemas constructed from the Global North that classify bodies based on difference, a logic that extends to abstract realms such as thought and language. This approach allows for a reflection on the limits of traditional linguistic analysis—both theoretical and structuralist—while also opening up questions that encourage the development of alternative theoretical frameworks for understanding language from other epistemologies and disciplines.

Keywords: grammatical gender, binary thinking, the Global North, epistemology, decolonial theory
