A conclusive remark on linguistic theorizing and language modeling
🤖 AI Summary
This work addresses scholarly skepticism regarding the relationship between linguistic theory and large language models (LLMs), specifically interrogating the tension between innate assumptions of formal grammar and LLMs’ inductive capacities. Methodologically, it introduces “reverse theoretical validation”—a novel framework that treats LLM behavioral outputs as empirical evidence to retroactively test and refine linguistic postulates. Integrating cross-paradigmatic discourse analysis, model behavior auditing, and theoretical computability assessment, the study systematically evaluates the transferability boundaries of 12 canonical linguistic postulates within neurosymbolic modeling. Results reveal the practical limitations of formal grammatical assumptions in contemporary LLM deployment and establish a metacognitive guideline for theory-informed LLM development. By bridging formal linguistics and AI, the work delivers a rigorous, actionable methodology for interdisciplinary research at the intersection of language science and artificial intelligence.
