论文摘要
我们使用六种不同性别语言的大规模语料库以及NLP和信息理论的工具来测试无生命名词的语法性别与描述这些名词的形容词之间是否存在关系。对于所有六种语言，我们发现存在统计学意义的关系。我们还发现，无生命名词的语法性别与将这些名词作为直接对象，间接对象和主题的动词之间存在统计学意义。我们将对这些关系进行更深入的研究以供未来的工作。
We use large-scale corpora in six different gendered languages, along with tools from NLP and information theory, to test whether there is a relationship between the grammatical genders of inanimate nouns and the adjectives used to describe those nouns. For all six languages, we find that there is a statistically significant relationship. We also find that there are statistically significant relationships between the grammatical genders of inanimate nouns and the verbs that take those nouns as direct objects, as indirect objects, and as subjects. We defer a deeper investigation of these relationships for future work.
