Child-directed speech facilitates production, not comprehension, in BabyLMs
CDS-trained BabyLMs show earlier and more appropriate production in a new frame-completion task while FineWeb-edu models lead on comprehension benchmarks, indicating current tests underestimate CDS benefits.

Rethinking the Idiomaticity Decomposability Hypothesis: Evidence from Distributional Learning
Language models show idiom decomposability correlates weakly with human judgments, negatively with syntactic flexibility, and contributes most strongly to representation stabilization during training alongside surprisal and frequency.
