ChronoLens: Measuring Language Change Across Time, Languages, and Linguistic Levels

arXiv:2608. 03507v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Historical language change affects morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, yet computational studies typically examine these levels with incompatible representations and therefore cannot determine whether they evolve together across languages.

DiaLLM: An Investigation into the Robustness-Generation Gap in English Dialect Adaptation

arXiv:2607. 07669v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models increasingly \emph{understand} dialectal English, yet still \emph{produce} only standard, US-leaning English, leaving dialectal generation, the harder half of the problem, largely unaddressed.

LLM-Ideoplasticity: Measuring Ideological Plasticity in the Political Behavior of LLMs as a Context-Conditioned Distribution

arXiv:2606. 28335v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We argue, with systematic empirical evidence, that a large language model's political ideology is not a fixed point, but a conditional distribution $\mathbb{P}($position$\mid$context$)$ over a real political space.
