Cover Story: Gender agreement between determiners and nouns, and between third-person clitics and their referents, is notoriously difficult to acquire by bilingual speakers who lack gender in their first language(s). This study explores the differences in gender agreement between a determiner and a noun, and between clitics and antecedents/doubled DPs using a picture-based narration task. Analysis of the oral production data from 17 adult Shipibo-Spanish bilinguals found notable differences in the two sets of agreement patterns. We conclude that, while gender is present in Shipibo-Spanish bilingual speakers’ grammar, in oral production it is largely absent and non-operative in clitic agreement. View this paper
