<b>Passcode:</b> 146662</div>
<div><b>Annotation:</b> The talk considers one of the most
remarkable recent developments in the Ukrainian language: the
increase in the frequency and diversity of feminine personal
nouns. Corpus data is used to show when and how this change
occurred. The discussion addresses the probable causes,
contributing factors, and problematic aspects concerning the
formation and use of these nouns. Several specific cases are
examined in the light of survey and corpus data. The controversy
triggered by this phenomenon in the Ukrainian linguistic circles
and society at large is analyzed.<br>
