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.

TatBLiMP is the first benchmark of linguistic minimal pairs for the Tatar language, covering 16 morphosyntactic phenomena across 1,248 sentence pairs that differ by a single morpheme. Each pair contains one grammatical and one ungrammatical sentence, with the ungrammatical version generated by a deterministic perturbation and ratified by a native speaker. The benchmark evaluates models by comparing their assigned probabilities, allowing assessment without text generation or parsing, and tracks performance across from-scratch, cross‑lingual, and multilingual large language models.

The article examines how Byte‑Pair Encoding (BPE) tokenization handles Polish, an inflectional language, and finds that BPE tends to stabilize frequent surface fragments of grammatical exponents rather than true grammatical categories. It introduces the concept of grammatical form anchoring, showing that certain Polish verb forms can signal the speaking subject without an explicit pronoun, and highlights that language models may lack a stable grammatical "I" and can shift gender or mirror user forms. The study proposes Roclawski’s segmentation‑flexional forms as a diagnostic framework and suggests that more stable Polish modeling would require sublexical stabilization, anchoring grammatical form in the inflectional system, and maintaining the grammatical "I" in dialogue.

The article investigates Korean predicate morphology, showing that a sequence of canonical morphemes and grammatical labels does not uniquely determine the surface form for certain predicates. It demonstrates that identical or nearly identical stem-ending configurations can produce different outputs depending on lexical identity and realization class membership. The study frames this as homonymy with inflectional divergence, highlighting that lexical meaning, subcategorization, and semantic role structure are essential for determining the correct surface realization.
