Abstract
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Grammatical gender has become one of the most studied phenomena in psycholinguistics, and the interest in grammatical gender processing is still growing. This chapter aims to give an overview of behavioral studies on gender processing and production. It focuses on behavioral experimental methods including lexical decision and eye-tracking studies regarding language comprehension and picture naming studies regarding language production. However, it does not include any studies employing neurocognitive measures, such as EEG/ERP and fMRI (see Schiller and Alemán Bañón, this volume). It discusses primarily gender processing work in monolingual settings but touches upon bilingual work as well. The authors illustrate their discussion with experimental data from a variety of languages, focusing on Germanic and Romance languages—two language families that are well represented within research on the phenomenon of grammatical gender.</jats:p>
