Abstract

In a recent manuscript entitled “Modern language models refute Chomsky’s approach to language”, Steven Piantadosi proposes that large language models such as GPT-3 can serve as serious theories of human linguistic cognition. In fact, he maintains that these models are significantly better linguistic theories than proposals emerging from within generative linguistics. The present note explains why this claim is wrong.
为什么大型语言模型是人类语言认知的拙劣理论?回复 Piantadosi
史蒂文-皮安塔多西(Steven Piantadosi)在最近一篇题为 "现代语言模型驳斥乔姆斯基的语言方法 "的手稿中提出,GPT-3 等大型语言模型可以作为人类语言认知的严肃理论。事实上,他认为这些模型是比生成语言学中出现的建议更好的语言理论。本说明解释了为什么这种说法是错误的。
