Real outcomes
It's not the syntax tree.
It's the grade.
Linguistic theory students lose points for theory that doesn't engage actual data, generative theory that confuses Chomsky with Minimalism, or analysis that flattens theoretical alternatives. AskSia tightens those.
3.2->3.8+0.6
For phonological theory I dropped Optimality Theory readings into AskSia. Got constraint rankings worked through with tableaux annotated. Aced the analysis short answer.
3.0->3.7+0.7
The thesis builder turned my scattered observations into a defensible argument about clause structure across languages. Citations LSA format. AI detector under nine percent.
