The only group that does not stick to the standard is the group of children in Nou Barris. It looks as though the influence of the language of the en- vironment plays a crucial role for this age group, which displays a major usage of the Spanish gender when they produce this Catalan noun. 4.2.1.3. olor-/, Spanish: olor - m.; ‘smell ’ Catalan olor comes from vulgar Latin olor, oloris, m. (from classical Latin, odor, OdOris). It often appears as ‘odor’, in the leamed version of the word, in the middle ages but it disappears after the 15,h c. In Ramon Llull’s works olor occurs already.
