Abstract

This study examines how Transformer language models utilise lexico-phrasal information to interpret the polysemy of the Korean adverbial postposition -(u)lo. We analysed the attention weights of both a Korean pre-trained BERT model and a fine-tuned version. Results show a general reduction in attention weights following fine-tuning, alongside changes in the lexico-phrasal information used, depending on the specific function of -(u)lo. These findings suggest that, while fine-tuning broadly affects a model's syntactic sensitivity, it may also alter its capacity to leverage lexico-phrasal features according to the function of the target word.
