Abstract
The purpose of this research paper is to provide the analysis of the gender of nouns denoting higher and lower animals in the English language focusing on linguistic and other factors. There are three major parts of this research paper. The first part provides theoretical information about gender and systems of gender assignment in different languages focusing on the animal nouns. The first part also displays a map with the representation of values for each of the systems. The second part elaborates on the aim of my research, as well as on describing the process of how the analysis was organized. This has been done by identifying and analysing the examples of animal nouns that have been found during my research, which is mainly based on the English editions of National Geographic (2010-2012). The second part also provides an overview of gender of animals in modern reference grammars and shows what factors play an important role when denoting the gender of animal nouns. The third part provides an insight into corpus analysis and proves the dominance of masculine and feminine genders when referring to animals.
