Researchers have investigated the relationship between idiom decomposability and distributional learning in language models. Their findings suggest that while frequency plays a role in how models learn idioms, factors like surprisal and decomposability also contribute significantly to representation stabilization during pretraining. The study found weak correlations between model-derived decomposability and human judgments, and a slight negative relationship with syntactic flexibility. AI
