evidence in the language-and-cognition debate (cf. below). Besides these affiliated fields, a particularly close ally of CL is historical-comparative linguistics. A well-established line of research on the borderline between CL and historical-comparative linguistics is the sustained trilingual comparison of German and English with Dutch. First conceived by van Haeringen (1956) in his book Nederlands tussen Duits en Engels ('Dutch between German and English'), its aim is to profile Dutch through a comparison with German and English, a configuration aptly labelled the "Germanic Sandwich" (see inter alia Ruigendijk/ van de Velde/Vismans 2012). Van Haeringen's main observation is that Dutch holds the middle between German and English, systematically and for historical reasons, in domains of the linguistic system as diverse as the relationship of orthography to phonology, the amount of foreign influence on the lexicon, the richness of nominal and verbal morphology, the productivity of nominal compounding, and the flexibility of word order. The desire to test this hypothesis against new phenomena or data, and indeed to expand it to new combinations of languages as long as Dutch remains in focus, has spawned the now well-known Germanic Sandwich conference series which began in Berlin (2005) and then moved on to

The aim of this paper is to explore how variation in the expression of gender has been and can be exploited to study gender perception in speakers of Dutch and German. We provide an up-to-date literature review on descriptive and psycholinguistic research on gender for these languages, considering empirical studies on both native (L1) and second language (L2) acquisition. This paper contributes to placing existing literature on gender in Dutch and German in a comparative mode and to offering a concrete rationale (e.g., three lines of enquiry) to move the psycholinguistic study of language, cognition and gender forward. Zusammenfassung: Das Ziel dieses Papers ist es herauszufinden, wie sich Unterschiede von Gender im Ausdruck von Sprache erfassen lassen und wie die Ergebnisse genutzt werden können, um die Perzeption von Gender bei niederländischen und deutschen Sprechern zu untersuchen. Vorgestellt wird eine aktuelle Übersicht der deskriptiven und psycholinguistischen Forschungsliteratur zum Thema Gender in diesen beiden Sprachen, wobei der Fokus auf empirischen Studien nach Erst-(L1) und Zweitspracherwerb (L2) liegt. Dieser Beitrag ermöglicht somit den Vergleich der vorhandenen deutschen und niederländischen Genderliteratur und liefert im Ergebnis konkrete Ansätze (z.B. drei Forschungsgebiete), um die psycholinguistische Forschung von Sprache, Kognition und Gender weiter voranzubringen. 1 We thank two anonymous reviewers for constructive criticism and comments.

Both in Dutch and to a lesser extent in German, pronouns can agree with a noun’s lexical gender or be chosen on semantic grounds. It is well-known that for non-human antecedents, Dutch seems to be shifting towards a more semantic system, via a process labelled ‘hersemantisering’, in which gender marking on the pronoun increasingly depends on the degree of individuation of the antecedent. This article presents a psycholinguistic investigation on how German learners of Dutch as a foreign language (NVT), who distinguish between three nominal genders in their native language, handle the Dutch gender system, which has largely lost its three-way nominal gender, and in which resemanticisation has progressed significantly. More specifically, a speeded grammaticality judgement task (GJ) was used in conjunction with a sentence completion task to examine the German NVT-learners’ perception as well as the production of pronominal gender in the L2 (in this case Dutch). It was found that German learners of Dutch judge more combinations of pronouns and their antecedents to be grammatical than they actually use. However, unlike in Flanders and the Netherlands, grammatical gender still trumps semantic gender, which we explain as a L1 transfer effect. In addition, the role of participants’ proficiency in Dutch is discussed.
