  We use large-scale corpora in six different gendered languages, along with
tools from NLP and information theory, to test whether there is a relationship
between the grammatical genders of inanimate nouns and the adjectives used to
describe those nouns. For all six languages, we find that there is a
statistically significant relationship. We also find that there are
statistically significant relationships between the grammatical genders of
inanimate nouns and the verbs that take those nouns as direct objects, as
indirect objects, and as subjects. We defer a deeper investigation of these
relationships for future work.
