{"pk":24163,"title":"Can Grammatical Gender Override Gender Stereotypes?","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Empirical evidence shows that gendered languages influence speaker's perception of the gender of animate and inanimate nouns. In this framework, we aimed to explore whether gram-matical gender can override gender stereotypes. One hundred fourteen native Greek speakers whose second language was English were asked to match stereotypically male- and female-associated nouns presented in Greek or in their English trans-lation with a male or female face. The nouns denoted agency and communality. Participants were presented with nouns both congruent and incongruent in terms of conceptual and gram-matical gender. Responses for both Greek and English nouns were provided consistently with gender stereotypes. Critically, although responses were not dominated by grammatical gender, for female-associated nouns, the presence of grammatically masculine gender reduced female responses. Moreover, participants assigned a male face faster for male-associated nouns than for female associated nouns irrespective of grammatical gender.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Linguistics; Psychology; Language and thought; Social cognition; Computer-based experiment"}],"section":"Papers with Poster Presentation","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3hg0h37v","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Nikoletta","middle_name":"","last_name":"Galeraki","name_suffix":"","institution":"Deree, The American College of Greece","department":""},{"first_name":"Eleni","middle_name":"","last_name":"Orfanidou","name_suffix":"","institution":"Deree, The American College of Greece","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2024-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24163/galley/13759/download/"},{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24163/galley/20974/download/"}]}
