Description
This book examines whether masculine plural role nouns in French trigger a male-specific interpretation. By closely replicating the French sample of an experiment run by Gygax et al. in 2008, Experiment 1 suggests that stereotypically male, neutral and female masculine role nouns tend to be associated with men. Experiment 2 focuses on the role noun type of stereotypically neutral role nouns (occupational nouns vs. non-occupational nouns) and indicates that the masculine role nouns were interpreted as referring to both men and women. While the findings of Experiment 1 align with an extensive body of previous empirical research, the results of Experiment 2 challenge most previous findings. In other words, the interpretation of masculine role nouns seems to be influenced by multiple factors and appears to be a complex phenomenon. In this vein, the approach sketched in this book is a step towards understanding the interpretation of masculine role nouns as a multifactorial phenomenon.
