ERP markers of gender retrieval during noun production: Evidence for early processing and masculine-feminine asymmetries
It remains unclear whether agreement contexts are essential for grammatical gender selection during lexical access to nouns. Studies using the picture-word interference (PWI) paradigm address this by asking participants to name pictures with bare nouns while ignoring distractor words and by examining the gender congruency effect (GCE: faster responses for gender-congruent target-distractor pairs). However, results are inconsistent. We propose tha…
The role of word form in gender processing during lexical access: A theoretical review and novel proposal in language comprehension
In contrast to language production, there are few comprehension models of the representation and use of grammatical gender in long-term memory. To bridge this gap, we conducted a systematic review of empirical studies on the role of gender-form regularities in the recognition of nouns in isolation and within sentences. The results of a final sample of 40 studies suggest that there are two routes for the retrieval of gender during real-time compre…
A standardized approach to measuring gender transparency in languages
Languages can express grammatical gender through different ortho-phonological regularities present in nouns (e.g., the cues "-o" and "-a" for the masculine and the feminine respectively in Italian, Portuguese, or Spanish). The term "gender transparency" was coined to describe these regularities (Bates et al., 1995). In gendered languages, we can hence distinguish between transparent nouns, i.e., those displaying form regularities; opaque nouns, i…
Language balance rather than age of acquisition: A study on the cross-linguistic gender congruency effect in Portuguese–German bilinguals
The cross-linguistic gender congruency effect (GCE; a facilitation on gender retrieval for translations of the same gender) is a robust phenomenon analysed almost exclusively with late bilinguals. However, it is important to ascertain whether it is modulated by age of acquisition (AoA) and language proficiency. We asked 64 early and late bilinguals of European Portuguese and German to do a forward and backward translation task. A measure of langu…
