Abstract
This article reports on two experiments waith native speakers of German that were conducted to determine the influence of different types of German generics on the cognitive inclusion of women. The results of these studies show that masculine versus other types of generics influence the retrieval of male and female exemplars from memory. This is the first piece of empirical evidence for this kind of effect with regard to the German language.Keywords
