摘要

在法语中，名词苹果(la pomme)在语法上是阴性的，在德语(der Apfel)中是阳性的。这是否意味着说法语的人认为苹果是女性的，而说德语的人认为苹果是男性的?各种研究表明，语法性别确实会影响客体感知(haertl 2017;Boroditsky & Schmidt 2000)，尽管研究结果并不总是被复制(Bender et al. 2011)。目前的研究调查了波兰语和德语的这种现象，波兰语是这一领域研究不足的语言，而德语是一种得到矛盾结果的语言。我们调查了讲波兰语(N = 21)和德语(N = 27)的人在给一个物体起名字时是否遵循它的语法性别(例如，James或Maya)。结果表明，说波兰语的人提供的名字与宾语的语法性别一致，而说德语的人则不然。这两种语言之间的跨语言差异(关于名词透明度)可以解释这些发现。

A table named James or a table named Maya?

In French, the noun apple (la pomme) is grammatically feminine, in German (der Apfel) it is masculine. Does this entail that French speakers perceive apples to be feminine whereas German speakers attribute masculine characteristics to them? Various studies suggest that grammatical gender does indeed influence object perception (Haertlé 2017; Boroditsky & Schmidt 2000), although findings are not always replicated (Bender et al. 2011). The current study investigates this phenomenon for Polish, an understudied language in this domain, and German, a language for which contradictory results have been obtained. We investigated whether Polish (N = 21) and German (N = 27) speakers follow the grammatical gender of an object when providing a first name for it (e.g., James or Maya). Results suggest that while Polish speakers provided names that were in accordance with the object’s grammatical gender, German speakers did not. Cross-linguistic differences between these two languages (regarding noun transparency) may explain these findings.
