Grammatical Gender Influences Semantic Categorization and Implicit Cognition in Polish.

The influence of grammatical gender on cognitive processes is an important issue in contemporary psycholinguistics and language psychology, particularly in research concerning the relations between grammar and semantics. The extent of this effect is dependent on a given language's gender system and its grammatical specifics. The aim of the presented research was to investigate grammatical gender effects in Polish - a Slavic language with three singular and two plural grammatical genders.
