Spanish Morphology (Feminine and Masculing articles)
Paper details
Spanish: Form of articles and gender. Normally, the masculine article is el and the feminine is la, but if a feminine noun like aguila begins with stressed a- the article is el, though the gender of the noun will still be revealed if it is also modified by an adjective. Apparently el is also sometimes used with nouns that have an unstressed initial a-. This seems to account for the fact that azucar varies in gender, i.e. speakers get “confused” thinking that maybe it was feminine despite the fact that it uses the article el.
