Abstract
Large language models suffer from content effects in reasoning tasks, particularly in multi-lingual contexts. We introduce a novel method that reduces these biases through explicit structural abstraction that transforms syllogisms into canonical logical representations and applies deterministic parsing to determine validity. Evaluated on the SemEval-2026 Task 11 multilingual benchmark, our approach achieves top-5 rankings across all subtasks while substantially reducing content effects and offering a competitive alternative to complex fine-tuning or activation-level interventions.
