| contents | This work explores the connection between (non-)literalness and plausibility at the example of subject-verb-object events in English. We design a systematic setup of plausible and implausible event triples in combination with abstract and concrete constituent categories. Our analysis of human and LLM-generated judgments and example contexts reveals substantial differences between assessments of plausibility. While humans excel at nuanced detection and contextualization of (non-)literal vs. implausible events, LLM results reveal only shallow contextualization patterns with a bias to trade implausibility for non-literal, plausible interpretations. |
