초록
When referring to people in general, to mixed-sex groups or to persons whose sex is irrelevant or unknown, the masculine form is used as a generic. Many studies have confirmed the supposition that masculine generics are associated more closely with the image of a male than with the image of a female. The male concepts of the masculine form get the better of the generic concepts because readers strongly rely on grammatical information and need additional cues when constructing their mental representation of gender. When there is no grammatical mark of gender, it proves that we tend to depend on stereotype information for their mental representation of gender. In non gender-marked languages most readers’mental representation of gender is largely based on stereotype information. The masculine form in gender-marked languages often stimulates a male-biased mental representation with some influence of stereotypicality. The previous literature has shown the consensus about the stereotypicality of each role name within each language as well as across French, German and English. Stereotypes and grammatical features can mostly affect the mental representation of gender.
Abstract
When referring to people in general, to mixed-sex groups or to persons whose sex is irrelevant or unknown, the masculine form is used as a generic. Many studies have confirmed the supposition that masculine generics are associated more closely with the image of a male than with the image of a female. The male concepts of the masculine form get the better of the generic concepts because readers strongly rely on grammatical information and need additional cues when constructing their mental representation of gender. When there is no grammatical mark of gender, it proves that we tend to depend on stereotype information for their mental representation of gender. In non gender-marked languages most readers’mental representation of gender is largely based on stereotype information. The masculine form in gender-marked languages often stimulates a male-biased mental representation with some influence of stereotypicality. The previous literature has shown the consensus about the stereotypicality of each role name within each language as well as across French, German and English. Stereotypes and grammatical features can mostly affect the mental representation of gender.
