Πειραματική διερεύνηση της συμφωνίας του γένους σε παρατακτικές δομές υποκειμένων στη Νέα Ελληνική

Περίληψη

This paper investigates gender agreement in Greek, in both production and comprehension, by means of structures which involve a predicate in agreement relationship with [-animate] male and female conjunct subjects placed in preverbal position. Adult native speakers of Greek participated in an oral production elicitation experiment and a self-paced reading task. The results showed that two strategies for gender agreement are used in Greek: a) agreement with the entire Coordinate Phrase (&P) in which a gender feature is displayed as the result of  semantic or morphosyntactic resolution and b) Full agreement with the closest conjunct in a serial order.
