#426 โ€“ Edward Gibson: Human Language, Psycholinguistics, Syntax, Grammar & LLMs

A construction is either a simple word, sort of like a morpheme plus its meaning, or a combination of words. It's basically... combinations of words like the the rules so but it's it's um it's uh unspecified as to what the form of the grammar is underlyingly. And so I would argue that the dependency grammar is maybe the right form to use for the types of construction grammar.

Construction grammar typically isn't kind of formalized quite. And so maybe the formalization, a formalization of that, it might be in dependency grammar. I mean, I would think so, but I mean, it's up to people, other researchers in that area, if they agree or not, so.

I mean, I would argue they're doing the form. They're doing the form and doing it really, really well. And are they doing the meaning? No, probably not. I mean, there's lots of these examples from various groups showing that they can be tricked in all kinds of ways. They really don't understand the meaning of what's going on.

And so there's a lot of examples that he and other groups have given that Which show they don't really understand what's going on. So, you know, the Monty Hall problem is this silly problem, right? Where, you know, if you have three doors, it's Let's Make a Deal, it's this old game show, and there's three doors, and there's a prize behind one, and there's some...

Junk prize is behind the other two and you're trying to select one. And if you, you know, he knows, Monty, he knows where the target item is, the good thing. He knows everything is back there. And you're supposed to, he gives you a choice. You choose one of the three. And then he opens one of the doors and it's some junk prize. And then the question is, should you trade to get the other one?

And the answer is yes, you should trade because he knew which ones you could turn around. And so now the odds are two thirds. Okay.

Um, and then if you just change that a little bit to the large language model, the large language model, just seen that, that, that explanation so many times that it just, if you change the stories a little bit, but it make it sound like it's the Monty Hall problem, but it's not, you just say, oh, um, There's three doors, and one behind them is a good prize, and there's two bad doors.
