我们调查是否双语识别或生产名词短语在他们的第二语言荷兰语的语法性别在他们的母语德语的影响。实验中使用的荷兰语名词要么与德语翻译的性别“兼容”，要么与德语翻译的性别“不兼容”。此外，它们的同源状态（与译文的形式相似）也各不相同。在实验1中，被试对荷兰语名词进行了性别启动的词汇判断任务。在实验2中，同样的项目被呈现为图片，并在荷兰语中命名，无论有或没有其性别标记的限定词。实验3是实验2的重复，但具有先前的训练会话以获得额外的和更可靠的数据。在三个实验中，跨语言性别相容性的影响，特别是同源词。这些结果表明，双语者的两个性别系统相互作用。其他分析表明，这种互动主要影响第二语言中性别代表的稳定性。(C)2008年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
We investigated whether bilinguals recognizing or producing noun phrases in their second language Dutch are influenced by the grammatical gender in their mother tongue German. The Dutch nouns used in the experiments were either gender-'compatible' or -'incompatible' with their German translation. Furthermore, their cognate status (form similarity with the translation) was varied. In Experiment 1, participants carried out a gender-primed lexical decision task on Dutch nouns. In Experiment 2, the same items were presented as pictures and had to be named in Dutch, either with or without their gender-marked determiners. Experiment 3 was a repetition of Experiment 2, but with a preceding training session to obtain additional and more reliable data. In all three experiments, effects of cross-language gender compatibility were obtained, especially for cognates. These results suggest that a bilingual's two gender systems interact. Additional analyses indicate that this interaction primarily affects the stability of gender representations in the second language. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
