Abstract

In this paper, I show and discuss the results of conducting an online acceptability judgment task where native speakers of Spanish were asked to rate sentences containing Norwegian nouns within them. The nouns were presented with either masculine (el) or feminine (la) gender with the objective to find out what grammatical gender speakers of Spanish select when code- switching, and whether there are any factors, linguistic or sociodemographic, that can explain the choice.
