Grammatical feature selection in noun phrase production: evidence from German and Dutch

Article Abstract:

Grammatical feature selection during noun phrase production in German and Dutch and particularly the conditions under which determiners or suffices are selected by different grammatical genders was investigated to better understand how words are accessed and uttered during speech production. It was concluded that the so-called gender congruency effect is really a determiner congruency effect and that grammatical feature selection is an automatic result of lexical node selection.

The selection of closed-class words in noun phrase production: the case of Dutch determiners

Article Abstract:

The predictions of two models of determiner selection in the production of Dutch noun phrases (NPs) were tested. It was established that the base noun's gender feature is visible to closed-class words selection processes including the production of plural and diminutive NPs.
