Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This essay investigates how Chinese students, who learn English as a foreign language (“EFL learners” for short), acquire the word “yet” by comparing Chinese Learner English Corpus (“CLEC” for short) and Corpus of Contemporary American English (“COCA” for short). The study finds that: “Yet” is not commonly used among Chinese EFL learners, except senior English majors; Compared with native English speakers, Chinese learners prefer to use “yet” as a conjunction, or use it as an adverb simply; and the error rate for using “yet” among Chine students is relatively low.

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.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
