arXiv:2608. 00523v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The linguistic notion of state has traditionally been restricted to the construct (annexation) state of Afroasiatic languages and treated as a language-specific morphosyntactic phenomenon.
This article tackles an important phenomenon in the syntax of Yemeni Ibbi Arabic (YIA), viz. , wh-agreement, a phenomenon common to several languages including Greek, Indonesian, Lubukusu, Irish, etc.
arXiv:2607. 18961v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) generate fluent text by incrementally predicting the next token from a prefix.
Coordination, a fundamental linguistic structure, remains a subject of intense debate, and its exact nature continues to elude theoretical linguistics. A common view holds that only same-category constituents can be conjoined, which has been challenged by the many grammatical unlike coordinations found in natural language.
arXiv:2606. 15144v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) process text as sequences of subword tokens, which can obscure the character-level and morphological structure that underlies word formation.
arXiv:2608. 01935v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prior work in Ancient Greek NLP relies on corpora that do not disambiguate the phonemic vowel length of alpha, iota, and ypsilon, together known as the dichrona.
arXiv:2606. 12708v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite their linguistic diversity and global significance, African languages remain underrepresented in research and resources to support NLP.
arXiv:2606. 09767v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural machine translation for digitally low-resource Indigenous languages is often hindered by extreme data scarcity, prompting reliance on extractive web-scraping.
arXiv:2605. 02608v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Transformer-based models achieve state-of-the-art dependency parsing for high-resource languages, yet their advantage over simpler architectures in low-resource settings remains poorly understood.
arXiv:2606. 24172v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: More than a billion people communicate in Indic languages, yet the natural language processing infrastructure serving them remains fragmented and underdeveloped.
arXiv:2606. 00230v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Grokking, the phenomenon in which neural networks generalize long after fitting their training data, has been studied in supervised settings on many epochs.
arXiv:2607. 12443v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Motivated by the power of large language models, there has been renewed interest in the Gold-Angluin model of language identification in the limit, with an eye toward variants of the model that might overcome the negative results for its original formulation.
A national language model offers a linguistic community its own instrument for measuring what its citizens say and value. Portugal's AMALIA, a publicly funded 9B-parameter model for European Portuguese, appears competitive on agreement alone: asked to code the moral foundation of authority, it agrees with trained human coders to within six F1 points of open models eight to thirteen times its size.
