Abstract
The globalized discourse creates a strong economic control over the value of cultural and linguistic goods. It also brings an importance to local authenticity. In this paper, I examine the globalized discourse as lived by two Francophone minorities in Canada. I have chosen a call centre and the tourism industry to illustrate how Francophone minorities have to adapt themselves to the rules of the global economy. The call centre promotes a standardized communication which devalues the French varieties of the Francophone community. At the same time it allows a new definition of what it is to be bilingual. The tourism industry uses linguistic and cultural goods to attract new markets. Authentic products and the adve rtising of French are promoted in order to upgrade the economy of the local Francophone community. The legitimate group that is taking care of the Francophone business and tourism is facing challenges with the majority and the minority groups. The value of French is controversial. These two examples show how Francophone minorities are adapting to the globalized world in their own ways. The study of linguistic practices in specific fields permits us to better understand the link between the global economy and the conception of new Francophone identities. O discurso globalizado produce un férreo control económico sobre o valor dos bens culturais e lingüísticos. Así mesmo isto incide na autenticidade local. Neste artigo examino o discurso globalizado vivido por dúas minorías francófonas no Canadá. Escollín un centro de atención de chamadas e mais a industria turística para ilustrar como as minorías francófonas se teñen adaptado por si mesmas ás regras da economía global. O centro de atención de chamadas promove unha comunicación estandarizada que deprecia as variedades do francés da comunidade francófona; ómesmo tempo, isto comporta unha nova definición do que é ser bilingüe. A industria turística utiliza bens lingüísticos e culturais para atraer novos mercados; promove produtos auténticos publicitados en francés, coa finalidade de que a comunidade francófona local prospere. O grupo lexitimado para coidar dos negocios e do turismo francófonos está a afrontar cambios nos grupos maioritarios e minoritarios. O valor do francés é controvertido. Estes dous casos mostran como as minorías francófonas se están a adaptar polos seus propios medios ó mundo globalizado. O estudo das practicas lingüísticas en eidos concretos permítenos comprender mellor a relación entre a economía global e a concepción das novas identidades francófonas.

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.
