Abstract
This article examines morphophonemic alternation between the high vowels Ii y u/ and their glide counterparts Ij II wI.By their very nature glides lend themselves to two possible analyses: the glide can appear either as a semiconsonant associated with onset position, or as a semi-vowel associated with a syllabic nucleus (as part of a diphthong).Since the formation of nuclear diphthongs is no longer an active process in French, recent phonological treatments prefer the first of the proposed analyses.The active nuclear diphthongization hypothesis in Modem French has significant implications for phonological theory, yet empirical data from Verlan, from Spanish, and from non-standard varieties of French, strongly support such a hypothesis.Even though Phonological Government (PG) provides great insights into morphophonemic alternation, it nonetheless lacks the ability to explain adequately various aspects of medial glide formation in French.The dual nature of glides (semi-consonant and/or semi-vowel) is a recurring topic in French phonology.The studies are however, most often centered on word-initial glides and their role in phonological processes such as elision, liaison and consonant-linking.Examinations of word-initial glides and the sandhi effects they produce in French (Kaye and Lowenstamm 1984;Dell 1973;Encreve 1988) allow us an opportunity to observe instances of each glide: semi-consonant or semi-vowel, and to diagnose the "true" nature of that glide.This paper examines rather the role *This article is drawn from my Masters memoire (Kelly 2003).I would like to thank Fran90is Poin~for his generous support and superb direction throughout.This article has also benefitted immeasurably of the time, patience and copious invaluable comments from the Theoretical and Applied Linguistics Lab (TALL) group at the University of Western Ontario -my thanks to professors and students alike.I am likewise indebted to Emanuel Nikiema of the University of Toronto for taking time to meet with me personally and discuss my research, and finally, to Monique Charette at the School of Oriental and African Studies for her many e-mails and articles.Thanks also to the editors of this special issue and to the anonymous reviewer for their helpful suggestions.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
