The Processing of Free and Bound Gender-Marked Morphemes in Speech Production: Evidence from Dutch
Lemhofer, Kristin; Schriefers, Herbert; Jescheniak, Jorg D.
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, v32 n2 p437-442 Mar 2006
In many languages, the production of noun phrases requires the selection of gender-marked elements like determiners or inflectional suffixes. There is a recent debate as to whether the selection of freestanding gender-marked elements, such as determiners, follows the same processing mechanisms as the selection of bound gender-marked morphemes, such as adjective suffixes. Most of the evidence on which this debate is based relates to the gender-congruency effect in picture-word interference experiments. In the present article, the authors address this issue with a pure picture-naming task, extending previous work in German (H. Schriefers, J. D. Jescheniak, & A. Hantsch, 2005). The results of the present study on noun phrase production in Dutch show that both types of gender-marked morphemes are selected via the same basic processing mechanisms.
