摘要

This chapter opens with a brief introduction to the similarities and differences between Experiments 1 and 2. In order to examine which of these differences might have generated the diverging findings (Experiment 1 suggesting that masculine role nouns are interpreted specifically and Experiment 2 that they are interpreted generically), Sect. 6.1 provides a discussion of the methodological issues, while Sects. 6.2 and 6.3 present how the properties of the different filler items and experimental items of the two experiments might have generated the different interpretations of the masculine role nouns in the two experiments. The chapter concludes with a summary in Sect. 6.4.
