L-2 acquisition of gender

[Professor Annette Karmiloff-Smith]

It is frequently reported that L-2 adult learners have serious difficulties
with grammatical gender agreement.  Is this just an anecdote or are there
data in the literature to which I can refer?  Many thanks in anticipation,
Annette K-S
