Its size approximates the amount of language a child hears at an early age. The authors built on the fact that adults first speak to young children in simple, short phrases, and the complexity of speech increases as the… 2. **[CxMP: A Linguistic Minimal-Pair Benchmark for Evaluating Constructional Understanding in Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/oba-2026-cxmp-linguistic-minimal-pair-benchmark/)** *(2026)* Most linguistic evaluations of language models check whether a model can tell grammatical sentences from ungrammatical ones. They rarely test whether it grasps the meaning that a grammatical form carries. CxMP addresses this gap using Construction Grammar, which views constructions as pairings of form and meaning. ## Co-authors here 2 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Saku Sugawara](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/saku-sugawara/) - [Yohei Oseki](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yohei-oseki/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/): [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/) - [Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning (CoNLL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/conll/): [CoNLL 2023](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/conll/2023/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 9 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [2 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/miyu-oba/cited-by/).
