Title: Gender stereotypes as inferences: Why surgeons are all male
Abstract:This article explores to what extent gender stereotype inferences influence discourse comprehension. It is assumed that the reader resorts to their world knowledge to create a coherent mental representation of a text when the information provided is insufficient or is not readily available. In fact, these inferences are so strong that they even mislead readers. When they encounter a gender neutral occupational noun (e.g., surgeon), they tend to assign a stereotyped male gender even if this contradicts the information in the text. Research suggest that these nouns are processed differently.
Keywords: gender stereotype inferences, minimalist view, constructionist view, mental model, definitional gender nouns
