Larger LLMs reproduce constructional productivity via entrenchment in coercion cases with nonce words but fail to use statistical preemption to avoid overgeneralizing semantically plausible but unobserved patterns.

When transformers learn "impossible" languages, what do they learn?
Transformers on impossible-language variants show gradual grammatical sensitivity loss but sharp long-sentence generation failures, supporting generative deficiency as a link to non-attestation.

Linguistic Productivity in Large Language Models: Models Coerce, but do not Preempt
Larger LLMs reproduce constructional productivity via entrenchment in coercion cases with nonce words but fail to use statistical preemption to avoid overgeneralizing semantically plausible but unobserved patterns.
