Gender stereotypes in agreement processing with role nouns: a study on Russian
Frontiers in Psychology. 2025. Vol. 16. Article 1619505.
Slioussar N., Antropova D.
The majority of Russian nouns denoting professions and social roles are grammatically masculine. Some of them have feminine pairs, the others do not, but in modern Russian, most nouns in this group can be used to refer to women — either with masculine or with feminine agreement. This option has some interesting limitations that have been extensively discussed in different theoretical approaches (feminine agreement is grammatical only in the nominative; some combinations of feminine and masculine agreement are ungrammatical). However, very few studies are dedicated to processing and acceptability of the sentences with such nouns. To fill this gap, we conducted three experiments: two word-by-word self-paced reading studies and one acceptability judgment study. Following previous studies of role nouns in different languages, we focused on the interaction of grammatical and extralinguistic factors: grammatical gender in attributive and predicative agreement and gender stereotypes associated with different professions and social roles. We revealed a clear preference for masculine agreement both offline (despite the fact that feminine agreement is grammatical) and online, although it was less pronounced for the sentences with stereotypically “female” professions. In general, ungrammatical sentences had the lowest ratings and the longest reading times, although in the sentences with stereotypically “male” professions, feminine agreement was so unexpected that it could slow down reading times more than ungrammaticality. In some other respects, offline and online data showed curious differences: sentences in which the gender of the predicate matches the gender of the attributive adjective were read significantly faster, but did not receive higher ratings.

Rectangularity can be an a priori constraint for the visual system to recover a 3D shape from a 2D image. Two psychophysical experiments (n = 16 each) were conducted to test whether observers are biased to perceive trihedral corners as rectangular and whether this bias is perceptual rather than a response bias. The results of ...

Context and relevance. Artificial intelligence is a technology with the potential to fundamentally transform all spheres of human life. Its rapid integration into everyday reality intensifies research dedicated to the psychology of using neural networks. However, the development of empirical research in the Russian scientific field is limited by the lack of validated psychodiagnostic tools that ...

The article investigates foreign censorship as an institution of cultural transfer in the Russian Empire and its impact on the reception of Italian literature between the 1830s and 1850s. Drawing on archival materials, the authors demonstrate that censorship decisions were determined not only by the norms of the Censorship Statute (1828) but also by a ...

Abstract. This article explores the semantic and cognitive mechanisms governing the functioning of the lexeme “irreversibility” (Unumkehrbarkeit) within contemporary German media discourse covering the crisis in German-Russian relations. The study tests the hypothesis that the use of irreversibility semantics in the mass media serves as a rhetorical strategy intended to reinforce the perception of ongoing ...

The study examines emotional responses to words representing a wide range of psychological valence and focuses on gender-related differences. We aimed to find out whether men and women differ in their emotional responses, and whether they can take the perspective of another gender.

Рассматриваются типы контекстов СППВ, зафиксированные в истории русского языка, и типы польских употреблений с СППВ, которые связаны с формированием неопределенно-личной формы на -no/-to. В результате анализа материала обоих языков можно сделать вывод о том, ...

There is a scene in Pindar’s Pythian 9 that attracts much attention of
scholars, not only because the erotic theme in general is unusual for Pindar,
but also because in this scene neither the question that Apollo addresses
Chiron, nor the answer that Chiron gives him, can be unambiguously
interpreted. Does Apollo intend to commit open violence against Cyrene,
or ...

This paper presents the first in-depth corpus-based study of a previously overlooked syntactic variation in Russian: the competition between juxtapositional (Nominative) and possessive-like (Genitive) encoding of the second noun (the term) in specificational constructions (e.g., ponjatie čest’ (notion.NOM honor.NOM) vs. ponjatie česti (notion.NOMhonor.GEN) ‘the notion of honor’). While typological research has established cross-linguistic preferences for one encoding strategy over another, intralinguistic variation ...

This paper presents a study on the effectiveness of discriminative methods for abbreviation lemmatization in Russian texts. Unlike generative approaches, discriminative models select the optimal lemma from a fixed set of candidates, eliminating the risk of generating grammatically incorrect word forms. For the first time in Russian language processing, we conduct a comprehensive analysis of ...

Pre-trained language models have significantly advanced natural language processing (NLP), particularly in analyzing languages with complex morphological structures. This study addresses lemmatization for the Russian language, the errors in which can critically affect the performance of information retrieval, question answering, and other tasks. We present the results of experiments on generative lemmatization using pre-trained language ...

This paper addresses the task of lemmatizing abbreviations in the Russian language. Abbreviation lemmatization is particularly challenging, as it involves not only transforming a word into its normal form but also correctly expanding the abbreviation. We explore two approaches to this task, both leveraging large pretrained language models. The first approach is generative, where the ...

There are several rival theories of fake indexicals, i.e. bound indexicals (prominently pronouns) whose φ-features do not semantically contribute to focus alternatives (e.g. Only Mary did her homework, John didn’t do his).

Fake indexicals (FIs), or bound-variable uses of e.g. 1st - and 2 nd -person pronouns, have been analysed by Bassi (2021) as arising from a post-syntactic process of inspecting the features of the referent.
