Language as Trait, Politeness as Strategy: Controlled Tests of Linguistic Effects in LLM Social-Deduction Agents
arXiv cs.AI · Published · 3 min read

- What happened
- Researchers tested whether linguistic complexity and politeness affect how LLM agents judge each other in a Werewolf social-deduction game. They found minimal effects.
- Why it matters
- Engineers building multi-agent systems should care when designing communication protocols or assuming language style influences agent coordination and trust.
- Watch out
- The study used a specific game framework and controlled rewrites. Results may not generalize to other domains, tasks, or LLM architectures beyond those tested.
