  1. Structural Persistence in Language Models: Priming as a Window into Abstract Language Representations (2022 · 74 citations)
    Do neural language models represent sentence structure abstractly, apart from the specific words used? The authors test this with structural priming, a method from psycholinguistics: after a model reads a sentence with a given construction, does it assign higher probability to a follow-up sentence built the same way?…
  2. Pragmatic Modelling in Language Learning: Caregiver Question-Answer Feedback in Child-Directed Dialogue (2026)
    The paper investigates how adult caregivers respond to a child's early attempts to construct question–answer (QA) pairs and whether this response changes as the child's language develops.
  3. Surprisal Minimisation over Goal-directed Alternatives Predicts Production Choice in Dialogue (2026)
    Information-theoretic measures such as surprisal and uniform information density (UID) are often used to explain why speakers pick one phrasing over another.
