The contact between Basque and Spanish in the Basque Autonomous Community (BAC) gives rise to certain linguistic features in BAC Spanish such as non-standard gender agreement (N-SGA) (Fernandez Ulloa, 2006; Gomez Seibane, 2008). Unlike Spanish, Basque does not exhibit gender agreement, which may explain the occurrence of N-SGA in BAC Spanish. Prior to Basterretxea Santiso (2022), N-SGA production in BAC Spanish was attributed to elder native Basque speakers with limited access to higher education and was viewed as a case of linguistic interference (unique/idiosyncratic behavior) rather than linguistic transfer (variation across community) (Fernandez Ulloa, 1997).To investigate whether N-SGA in BAC Spanish is a result of linguistic interference or transfer (Weinrich, 1966), this study recruited 76 participants from BAC. The participants engaged in various tasks, including a sociolinguistic interview, an exaggerated imitation activity, a matched-guise test, answering explicit attitudinal questions, and completing a background questionnaire.The statistical analysis of the results suggests that N-SGA is a case of linguistic transfer, which is found throughout the speech community and is sociolinguistically distributed (Palacios, 2021; Ramirez Cruz, 2009): N-SGA production varies depending on participants' age and their level of education, as well as the characteristics of the linguistic context, such as the gender of the controller, whether gender marking in Spanish is canonical, and controller number, the distance between the linguistic targets, and whether the target is a clitic or an adjective. Regarding attitudes, N-SGA in BAC Spanish is associated with stereotypical perceptions of Basque native speakers from rural areas with limited access to higher levels of education. The data triangulation in this study supports the idea that gender in BAC Spanish may only be relevant for inanimate controllers and that masculine gender is considered the default gender (Roca, 1989, 2005). Additionally, speakers are also aware of the low prevalence of N-SGA, and it is not considered a salient feature. Furthermore, stereotyped attitudes do not significantly impact N-SGA production. The findings also indicate that linguistic transfer is possible even between typologically different languages (Gomez Seibane, 2020, 2021; Palacios, 2021), and awareness of NSGA may lead to a lower frequency of N-SGA production.
