Grammatical Gender and Meaning
Two experiments assessed whether grammatical gender of Italian nouns referring to animals and tools affects conceptual representations of the corresponding objects, comparing results from Italian and English. In the first experiment, we elicited semantic substitution errors (e.g., saying “hammer” when “axe” is intended), finding language-specific gender effects (more errors in Italian than Engl...
متن کاملHow is Grammatical Gender Processed?
Paradigmatic gaps are a problem for computational models of language acquisition, as most models that generalize online (eager learners, such as rule based learning and neural networks) will not notice systematically missing input. This is mainly a problem for the plausibility of the model, since the missing forms and structures will not deteriorate performance on recognition (because they will...
متن کاملGrammatical Gender Inhibition in Bilinguals
Inhibitory control processes have been recently considered to be involved in interference resolution in bilinguals at the phonological level. In this study we explored if interference resolution is also carried out by this inhibitory mechanism at the grammatical level. Thirty-two bilinguals (Italian-L1 and Spanish-L2) participated. All of them completed two tasks. In the first one they had to n...
متن کاملGrammatical gender affects odor cognition
Language interacts with olfaction in exceptional ways. Olfaction is believed to be weakly linked with language, as demonstrated by our poor odor naming ability, yet olfaction seems to be particularly susceptible to linguistic descriptions. We tested the boundaries of the influence of language on olfaction by focusing on a non-lexical aspect of language (grammatical gender). We manipulated the g...
متن کاملGrammatical gender vs. natural gender in French Williams syndrome.
This article reports grammatical gender attribution scores in French Williams participants (N=28, mean chronological age=15.1) in an experiment similar to the classic one from Karmiloff-Smith (1979) where grammatical gender was pitted against natural gender. WS participants massively opted for the masculine gender as the default one, just as MA-controls did. They differed from CA-controls, howe...
