TI  - The selection of determiners in noun phrase production.
PG  - 907-22
AB  - Picture-word interference experiments conducted with Italian speakers 
      investigated how determiners are selected in noun phrase (NP) production. 
      Determiner production involves the selection of a noun's syntactic features (mass 
      or count, gender), which specify the type of determiner to be selected, and the 
      subsequent selection of a particular phonological form (e.g., the/a in English). 
      The research focused on the syntactic feature of gender. Results repeatedly 
      failed to replicate the gender-congruity effect in NP production reported with 
      Dutch speakers (longer latencies for target-distractor noun pairs with 
      contrasting as opposed to the same gender). It is proposed that the discrepant 
      results reflect processing differences in lexical access in Italian and Dutch: 
      The selection of determiners in Italian, but not in Dutch, depends on 
      phonological properties of the word that follows it in the NP. Evidence 
      consistent with this explanation was obtained in an experiment in which 
      determiner selection in NP production was hindered by conflicting phonological 
      information in the NP.
