Gender in language IS a form of semantic classifier, having only 1 or 2 
or 3 categories in Indo-European languages (and thus being rather 
useless most of the time, but apparently useful enough that most IE 
languages have those categories), but having larger numbers of 
genders/categories in other languages.
