Structural probes on UD-invariant wh-movement stimuli reveal phase-count gradients and phase-internal cohesion effects in 12-13 of 13 LLMs, indicating syntactic abstractions beyond UD annotations.
Computational experiments show verb learning benefits in child-directed language likely stem from spoken register properties rather than unique optimization for children.
