Gender as a probe

This article discusses one of the possible roles that gender could have in the Agree operation (Chomsky 2000, 2001). Based on the analysis of the PCC in Spanish developed in Camacho Ramírez (2024), in which, in the context of a ditransitive verb, gender would be necessary to guide the other probes of v* toward a specific goal, it is proposed here that gender should also guide the probes of the v* of a transitive verb.

Abstract

This article discusses one of the possible roles that gender could have in the Agree operation (Chomsky 2000, 2001). Based on the analysis of the PCC in Spanish developed in Camacho Ramírez (2024), in which, in the context of a ditransitive verb, gender would be necessary to guide the other probes of v* toward a specific goal, it is proposed here that gender should also guide the probes of the v* of a transitive verb.
