Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Many world languages and dialects today are endangered.The threat of language endangerment has caught the attention of many scholars like Fishman (2001), Odinye and Odinye (2010), and international organizations like the UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization), which have proposed a model for classifying less privileged languages and dialects.The future of the Igbo language of south-eastern Nigeria is not too certain.Duruaku (2004) showed that the Igbo people portray some negative attitudes toward their language.Such attitudes hamper language maintenance and preservation.This paper focuses on the current status of Igbo language and examines the roles of linguistic perceptions in Igbo language endangerment.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
