LLMs show mixed results in aiding Cantonese and Irish grammar engineering

Researchers have developed new treebanks for Cantonese and Irish as part of the Parallel Grammar (ParGram) Project, focusing on maintaining linguistic consistency across languages. The study explored the use of large language models, specifically OpenAI's gpt-oss-120b, to aid in grammar engineering tasks like translation and syntactic structure generation. While the LLM showed limitations in translation accuracy and capturing cross-linguistic abstraction, it did provide some useful outputs for analysis and predicate-argument relations, highlighting the potential and constraints of LLMs in this field.

IMPACT LLMs demonstrate potential for assisting in linguistic analysis but require expert oversight for accuracy and cross-linguistic tasks.

    Grammar Engineering Meets LLMs: Development of Cantonese and Irish ParGram Treebanks

    arXiv:2608.07283v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Grammar engineering requires expertise in linguistic formalism and computational implementation, especially in parallel grammar projects that balance cross-linguistic consistency with language-specific properties. This paper present…
