Linguistic features significantly influence prompt effectiveness across tasks

URL: https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.11665

Extract¶

"Linguistic features significantly influence prompt effectiveness — such as morphology, syntax, and lexico-semantic changes — which meaningfully enhance task performance across a variety of tasks." Different grammatical structures "make it challenging to construct universally understandable and effective prompts." In multilingual settings, "cross-linguistic variations in numerical formatting, mathematical terminology and syntactic structures" compound the challenge.

Relevance to Hypotheses¶

Hypothesis	Relationship	Strength
H1	Supports	Directly confirms that linguistic structure creates identifiable challenges
H2	Contradicts	Linguistic features are identified as significant factors
H3	Supports	The impact is through specific measurable dimensions (morphology, syntax, semantics)

Context¶

This is a general finding from the survey — it establishes that linguistic structure matters but does not isolate specific structural types (SOV, tonal, etc.) individually.
