| Abstract | Two experiments, with 71 undergraduates, examined the effect on lexical decision times for inflected Serbo-Croatian nouns when the nouns were preceded by possesive adjectives. For any given pairing, the possesive adjective and noun agreed always in number (singular) and case (nominative) but only agreed half of the time in gender (masculine or feminine). Lexical decisions were faster when the noun targets were of the same gender as their primes. This gender congruencyncongruency effect held whether the inflections of the adjective and noun were the same (as in the case for Serbo-Croatian nouns) or different (as in the case for atypical Serbo-Croatian nouns). Results are discussed in terms of a postlexical influence of grammatical processing on the recognition of individual words. |
