Reposted by Kathy GarciaJane Li 🦖 @janeli.bsky.social · 17/09/2026🦀New preprint! (w/ @najoung.bsky.social)🦞 Is grammaticality a major organizing principle of NLM representations? We show that many NLMs exhibit abstract rep. separation for grammaticality. We believe this work addresses debates about confounds in measuring model gram. knowledge. [1/10] 12010
