Here we study the dimension δ(m, X) of the general fibers of the m-Gaussian map of a singular n-dimensional variety X ⊂ Pn. We show that for all integers a, b, c, d with n ≦ a < b ≦ c < d ≦ N − 1 and a + d = b + c we have δ (a, X) + δ(d, X) > δ(b, X) + δ(c, X). If δ(X, N − 1) is very large we give some classification results which extend to the singular case some results of Ein.
