This study examines the semantic interpretation of man and its anaphoric pronoun he and of their equivalents in German, Danish, and Swedish within a cross-linguistic experimental design. These languages differ systematically in respect of the features that define the grammatical and natural gender of these items. The hypothesis that the items are more or less pseudogeneric to the same extent that their features are more or less sex-marking could be confirmed in two experiments where subjects rated the acceptability of sentences containing these items. In conclusion, the pros and cons of such an 'experimental linguistic' approach are discussed.
