Probing Minimalist Phase Structure in LLMs: What Universal Dependencies Cannot Represent 事件

Probing Minimalist Phase Structure in LLMs: What Universal Dependencies Cannot Represent arXiv:2605.26431v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Structural probes train on Universal Dependencies (UD), which does not encode formal-syntactic abstractions such as phase boundaries or phase-internal cohesion. Whether large language models (LLMs) encode these remains an open question that UD-based probing cannot answer by construction. We evaluate structural probes on wh-movement stimuli where UD distances a
