Abstract

This paper revisits, in a panoramic way, questions related to the notion of grammatical gender from linguistic and psycholinguistic perspectives. In general terms, three major issues are explored: 1. the locus of gender information; 2. the relation between gender value and the ending of the noun; and 3. the establishment of an agreement relation between the noun, the adjective, and the determiner. Aspects of each of these questions are explored under a formalist approach, in terms of adult processing and also from the language acquisition perspective.
