Abstract

Nominal gender (both value assignment and agreement) is one of the most challenging stuctures for learners of Portuguese as a non-native language (PNNL), as existing studies on the acquisition of Portuguese have demonstrated (Ferreira, 2011 and 2019; Godinho, 2010; Leiria, 2006; Li & Flores, 2019; Mariotto & Lourenço-Gomes, 2013; Mariotto, 2014; Lacsán, 2015; Martins, 2015; Pinto, 2015, and Silva, 2018). In this paper, these studies are examined in the light of the pedagogical implications of their findings, considering their potential contribution to the description of PNNL learners’ built-in syllabus (Corder, 1967). Such an analysis, although currently lacking, is of utmost importance for guiding instructional design.
