## Papers

1. **[Causal Interventions Reveal Shared Structure Across English Filler–Gap Constructions](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/boguraev-2025-causal-interventions-reveal-shared-structure/)** *(2025)* The paper asks whether a language model uses one shared mechanism for several English filler–gap constructions (embedded wh-questions, matrix wh-questions, relative clauses, clefts, pseudo-clefts, topicalization).
2. **[Is It \textit JUST Semantics? A Case Study of Discourse Particle Understanding in LLMs](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/sheffield-2025-is-it-textit-just-semantics/)** *(2025)* The English discourse particle "just" has several senses: exclusive ("Betsy just eats chicken nuggets"), temporal ("just arrived"), unelaboratory ("Fido is just a dog"), unexplanatory ("the lights just turn on and off") and emphatic ("just delicious").
3. **[Elaborative Simplification as Implicit Questions Under Discussion](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/wu-2023-elaborative-simplification-as-implicit-questions/)** *(2023)* When editors simplify news for children (Newsela), they often add sentences that explain rather than shorten.
