“…Contrary to these findings, no effect of gender congruency in NP naming has been observed in French (Alario and Caramazza 2002), Italian (Miozzo and Caramazza 1999;Cubelli et al 2005), Catalan (Costa et al 1999b) or Spanish (Costa et al 1999b). The opposite pattern has been shown in bare noun production, namely that languages such as Italian (Paolieri et al 2010a and Spanish (Paolieri et al 2010a) do show an effect of gender congruency while languages such as Dutch (La Heij et al 1998;Starreveld and La Heij 2004) do not.…”

Previous research has led to conflicting notions of the representation of L1 and L2 grammatical gender systems in the mental lexicon: under the gender-integrated representation hypothesis the L1 and L2 gender nodes are shared, while these nodes are language-specific in the gender autonomous representation hypothesis. We address this debate, extending this research to L1 and L2 systems mismatched in number of gender values. In this study, Spanish-German bilinguals performed an L2 picture-naming task in which gender congruency (congruent, incongruent and neuter) between L1 and L2 nouns was manipulated. Latencies were shorter for gender-congruent than gender-incongruent nouns, and latencies for the German neuter nouns were also shorter than those for the masculine-feminine incongruent nouns. These gender congruency effects support the gender-integrated representation hypothesis and indicate a unique representation of the gender value not present in the L1 which interferes with the response significantly less than when the incongruency is between gender values present in both languages.

“…the "lemma"), researchers agree that under most conditions the effect is localized at the later level of word-form encoding. Given this conclusion, the orthographic/phonological facilitation effect has been used to examine issues concerning, for instance, the seriality versus interactivity of the stages involved in word production (e.g., Bonin & Fayol, 2000;Starreveld & La Heij, 1995, 1996b and the locus of gender-congruency effects (e.g., Starreveld & La Heij, 2004).…”

a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f oPicture naming is facilitated when a target picture (e.g. of a cat) is accompanied by a form-related context word (e.g. CAP) relative to an unrelated word (e.g. PEN). Because in alphabetic languages phonological and orthographic similarity are confounded, Chinese, a logographic language, has been employed to study these two effects in isolation. The results obtained suggest that the orthographic facilitation effect is localized at an earlier processing level than the phonological facilitation effect. In the present study we examine this issue again, using an experimental design in which the context words in the related and unrelated conditions are optimally matched. In contrast to the earlier studies Experiments 1 and 2 fail to show differences in the time course of the two context effects. Moreover, Experiment 3 provides direct evidence against an early, conceptual locus of orthographic facilitation. Our findings indicate that in Chinese language production both orthographically and phonologically related context words have their effect at the rather late level of word-form encoding.

“…This scenario assumes that the selection of the determiner hinges on the retrieval of the noun lemma. Alternatively, in line with Starreveld and La Heij's (2004) proposal, the determiner form may receive activation from the form of the noun and the definiteness concept. The ordering of the words within the phrase would then occur at the form level.…”

“…However, we cannot be sure that the speakers of Experiment 3 only retrieved the necessary grammatical information about the nouns before speech onset; maybe they retrieved the phonological forms of the nouns as well. Starreveld and La Heij (2004) reported a series of picture-word interference experiments in which target pictures were combined with phonologically related or unrelated distractors. Phonological facilitation was obtained not only when participants produced bare nouns but also when the task was to produce only the definite determiner or to perform a gender-decision task for the object names (see also Navarrete, Basagni, Alario, & Costa, 2006).…”

There is mounting evidence that the ease of producing and understanding language depends not only on the frequencies of individual words but also on the frequencies of word combinations. However, in two picture description experiments, Janssen and Barber (2012) found that French and Spanish speakers’ speech onset latencies for short phrases depended exclusively on the frequencies of the phrases but not on the frequencies of the individual words. They suggested that speakers retrieved phrase-sized units from the mental lexicon. In the present study, we examined whether the time required to plan complex noun phrases in Dutch would likewise depend only on phrase frequencies. Participants described line drawings in phrases such as rode schoen [red shoe] (Experiments 1 and 2) or de rode schoen [the red shoe] (Experiment 3). Replicating Janssen and Barber’s findings, utterance onset latencies depended on the frequencies of the phrases but, deviating from their findings, also depended on the frequencies of the adjectives in adjective-noun phrases and the frequencies of the nouns in determiner-adjective-noun phrases. We conclude that individual word frequencies and phrase frequencies both affect the time needed to produce noun phrases and discuss how these findings may be captured in models of the mental lexicon and of phrase production.
