However, existing findings on which features reliably indicate LLM-generated text remain fragmented across feature sets, models, and text domains. To address this gap, we conduct a large-scale empirical study assessing the robustness of linguistic signals for characterizing AI-generated text. Our analysis covers 284 interpretable linguistic features across outputs from 27 LLMs and ten text domains under cross-model and cross-domain generalization settings. We show that classifiers based solely on linguistic features can reliably distinguish AI-generated from human-written text. However, many previously proposed indicators prove strongly context-dependent, with the exception of measures of lexical richness, which remain robust signals across model families and text domains. These results demonstrate which linguistic signals generalize across contexts and provide a foundation for more reliable, interpretable analyses of AI-generated language.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/a-systematic-analysis-of-linguistic-features-in-ai-generated-text-detection-and", "canonical_source": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.04177", "published_at": "2026-06-04 04:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-04 04:21:33.254600+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "machine-learning", "large-language-models", "generative-ai", "natural-language-processing"], "entities": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/a-systematic-analysis-of-linguistic-features-in-ai-generated-text-detection-and", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/a-systematic-analysis-of-linguistic-features-in-ai-generated-text-detection-and.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/a-systematic-analysis-of-linguistic-features-in-ai-generated-text-detection-and.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/a-systematic-analysis-of-linguistic-features-in-ai-generated-text-detection-and.jsonld"}}
