Pragmatics-Aware Evaluation of Degree Adverbs in Chinese LLM vs. Human Text
Comparing Chinese degree adverb usage in LLM-generated vs. human text, motivated by Chinese word-class heterogeneity and pragmatics-driven POS ambiguity.

Highlights
- Designing introspective prompts to probe edge cases (e.g., complex clause relations, modification scope) and elicit non-canonical constructions.
- Preliminary findings indicate systematic “over-normalization” in model text (preference for canonical intensifiers and rigid patterns) and pragmatic mismatches in ambiguous-scope contexts.
