2025 Which Word Orders Facilitate Length Generalization in LMs? An Investigation with GCG-Based Artificial Languages
abstract
Whether language models (LMs) have inductive biases that favor typologically frequent grammatical properties over rare, implausible ones has been investigated, typically using artificial languages (ALs) (White and Cotterell, 2021;Kuribayashi et al., 2024).In this paper, we extend these works from two perspectives.First, we extend their context-free AL formalization by adopting Generalized Categorial Grammar (GCG) (Wood, 2014), which allows ALs to cover attested but previously overlooked constructions, such as unbounded dependency and mildly context-sensitive structures.Second, our evaluation focuses more on the generalization ability of LMs to process unseen longer test sentences.Thus, our ALs better capture features of natural languages and our experimental paradigm leads to clearer conclusionstypologically plausible word orders tend to be easier for LMs to productively generalize.
