Abstract

Two experiments were conducted to explore the effects of gender category, antecedent's location, and attribute congruency on pronoun referential resolution. In Experiment 1, participants read (self-paced) a series of sentence pairs where the antecedents of pronouns were of role name nouns, and did a primed recognition test. The results showed some effects of gender category and location in sentence of antecedents. The female role (whose gender markings are distinct) noun antecedents were recognized faster than the male ones (whose gender markings are less distinct), and the first mention antecedents faster than the second mention ones. The interaction effect between antecedent's gender category and location in sentence showed; When the antecedent was a male role noun, the first mention antecedent was recognized faster than the second mention ones, whereas when the antecedent was female role noun, the order of mentioning did not make a difference. Experiment 2 differed from Experiment 1, only in that proper nouns whose gender markings are balanced were employed instead of role nouns. The results showed only the main effects of antecedent's location in a sentence. The first mention antecedent was recognized faster than the second one. The interaction between antecedent's gender category and location in a sentence was not statistically significant. These results were discussed from a point of view of focus model in discourse comprehension.
