Abstract:
Constructions are learned pairings of form and function, at varying levels of complexity and abstraction.  They are many, varied, context-dependent and interrelated to one another.  The functions of constructions can involve subtle aspects of meaning, attitude, speech act, and information structure. I will present three subtle and distinct aspects of human language that are mirrored by LLMs. Collectively, the findings suggest remarkable parallels between the representations and dynamic changes of language in both LLMs and humans, making LLMs a rich resource for clarifying the human facility with language.
