Scrambling hurts MLMs across languages, but morphology sensitivity varies a lot by language.

Semantic overlap alone may not be enough for cross-lingual euphemism transfer. Interesting results on Turkish↔English euphemism detection showing strong asymmetries even when expressions appear semantically aligned.

An NLP study on detecting Ukrainian war euphemisms like “бавовна” (“explosion”) and “пташка” (“drone”). GPT-4o performs well on a newly annotated dataset, but the harder problem remains contextual disambiguation, sarcasm, and shifting euphemistic meaning over time. #UkrainianNLP

New Japanese euphemism benchmark (JP-PET): models do well on seen euphemisms, but performance drops hard on unseen PETs, suggesting reliance on lexical familiarity over pragmatic understanding. XLM-R generalized best.

Linguistics kicked off its new Book Club with Algospeak by @adam_aleksic how people twist words like “unalive” or “seggs” to dodge algorithms. Takeaway: platforms don’t just host language -- they shape it. Next up: Cultish by @amandamontell ! #MontclairLinguistics #Algospeak
