Empirical research indicates that English words and nominal suffixes can activate implicit conceptual and gender stereotypes despite English lacking a formal grammatical gender system.
The claim states that English words possess inherent grammatical or conceptual gender stereotypes. Paper [1] provides direct evidence that English nouns activate gender-stereotypical features and schemas even as a natural gender language. Paper [6] discusses how English words and suffixes carry gender stereotypes. Other papers focus on languages with grammatical gender (Russian, Greek, Portuguese) or machine translation, but do not refute the conceptual gender stereotypes present in English words. Thus, the evidence supports the claim.
