Table 11 Gender assignment regularities for german, as identified by Wegener (1995) Regularity Examples Exceptions 1 When unmarked, nouns ending in -e are feminine.
Köpcke (1982) (see also Köpcke & Zubin, 1984) identified 24 phonological gender assignment regularities for 1466 monosyllabic nouns in German.
Note, however, that these cues typically occur in rather abstract and long words that are unlikely to be part of the vocabulary of young children.1 All other semantic, morphological, or phonological gender-assignment regularities have many exceptions.
Oral health knowledge was significantly associated with socio-demographic characteristics (gender, education) and regularity of dental visits (Table 3).
This is partly due to the fact that the regularities override each other: morphological regularities override semantic regularities, such as the natural gender principle,2 and semantic regularities override phonological regularities (see Wegener, 1995).
The total MDAS scores were found to vary significantly by the independent factors of gender, age, self-reported regularity of dental attendance and social status (Table 2).
Similar methods were used to investigate the influence of age, gender, ethnicity, duration of disease, regularity of analgesic use and self-efficacy on reported pain.
In multiple linear regression where age, gender, duration of arthritis, ethnicity, regularity of analgesic use and self-efficacy were entered simultaneously, lower self efficacy and regular use of analgesics remained significantly associated with more pain.
Or as William Stern wrote, in his introduction to Person und Sache (vol. 2): "Despite any similarities by which persons are identified as members of humankind, a particular race or gender, etc., despite any broad or narrow regularities which are involved in any personal events, a primal uniqueness always remains, through which every person is a world of its own with regard to other persons".
A questionnaire consisting of socio-demographic questions, including those pertaining to gender, age, marital status, education, employment situation, income regularity and household income, was administered to all participants.
