Abstract:

Gender as a morphosyntactic feature is arguably “an endlessly fascinating
linguistic category” (Corbett 2014: 1). One may even say it is among “the most
puzzling of the grammatical categories” (Corbett 1991: 1) that has raised
probing questions from various theoretical and applied perspectives. Most
languages display semantic and/or formal gender systems with various degrees
of opacity and complexity, and even closely related languages present distinct
differences, creating difficulties for second language learners. The first
three chapters of this volume present critical reviews in three different
areas – gender assignment in mixed noun phrases, subtle gentle biases and the
gender acquisition in child and adult heritage speakers of Spanish – while the
next six chapters present new empirical evidence in the acquisition of gender
by bilingual children, adult L2/L3 learners and heritage speakers of various
languages such as Italian, German, Dutch or Mandarin-Italian.
