LLMs quantify syncretism's effect on language agreement errors

Researchers have investigated how morphological syncretism influences agreement attraction errors in verbs across different languages. Using large language models to measure processing proxies like surprisal and attention entropy, they found that syncretism amplifies these errors in languages such as English and German, but not in Turkish or Armenian. The study aims to provide a computational account for these cross-linguistic variations in grammatical agreement. AI
