Original abstract

Large language models may infer demographic attributes from subtle linguistic cues even when those attributes are not explicitly stated. This pilot study examines whether Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct internally represents Colombian identity, socioeconomic status, or stereotype-related information when processing Colombian-Spanish and English prompts. We use Natural Language Autoencoders (NLA) to verbalize residual-stream activations from layer 20 across four positional quartiles per prompt. Our dataset contains 30 prompts arranged as 15 matched Spanish-English pairs, spanning explicit Colombian cues, implicit Colombian cues, and neutral controls. We report descriptive rates and qualitative evidence rather than statistically powered effects, focusing on whether latent nationality or stereotype representations appear before they are verbalized in the model output. This work connects activation-level interpretability with bias evaluation for underrepresented Spanish varieties.
