Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In New Brunswick, Canada's only officially bilingual province, French and English both vie for dominance on official/formal linguistic markets. In this contact situation, non-standard French varieties have had no place in these markets and have been traditionally relegated to the more informal/private markets. Speakers of these non-standard varieties have long hesitated to speak out on public markets for various reasons. First, the dominant discourse, produced by the press for instance, has systematically denigrated non-standard varieties. Second, the negative image of these varieties projected by the dominant discourse have been interiorised by these speakers who have come to believe that their speech is sub-standard, all the while believing nonetheless that they are French speakers. In recent years, a counterdiscourse has developed in reaction to the ideology of the standard, and new public markets have been created, i.e. community radio stations, where non-standard varieties are accepted, thereby giving new meaning to the concept of linguistic policy.

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.
