Abstract
210 LANGUAGE, VOLUME 76, NUMBER 1 (2000) 'Phonology above the word', introduces prosodie phonology. This book gives a very good presentation and overview ofthe actual mainstream phonological theories. It poses many problems phonology has had to deal with in the last 30 years and presents the solutions that have best addressed them. The discussions are clear, complete, and not too technical. As said above, this book gives the newcomer in phonology a very good introduction to mainstream generative phonology. It would have been interesting to find, in the preface or the epilogue, a short paragraph saying that, though the theories presented in the book are accepted and used by a majority of researchers in phonology, other theories, some outside generative linguistics, are developed and may be worth looking into. [Alain Thériault, Université de Montréal.] The proceedings of the twenty-eighth annual child language research forum. Ed. by Eve V. Clark. Stanford, CA: CSLI, 1997. Pp. x, 308. This volume contains 25 papers delivered at Stanford University, 12-14. April 1996. The papers, which are presented alphabetically by contributors' names, may be grouped by area of investigation. Semantics: Thomas Lee discusses the acquisition of cumulative and distributive readings ofquantifiers in Chinese, and Xlangdong Jia, Patricia Brooks, and Martin Braine focus on children's use of universal quantifiers in this language. Hrafnhildur Ragnarsdóttir and Sven Stromqvist investigate the acquisition of grammatical devices expressing spatial relations in Scandinavian languages. Lourdes de León studies the development of the notion of vertical path in Tzotzil (Mayan). Gedeon DeAk and Michael Maratsos evaluate the methodology for assessing semantic representations through children 's referential acts. Annick DeHouwer looks at the development of past verb forms in a Dutch-English bilingual child; Hrafnhildur Ragnarsdóttir, Hanne Gram Simonsen, and Kim Plunkett compare the acquisition of these forms in Icelandic and Norwegian. Nitya Sethuraman, Adele Goldberg, and Judith Goodman investigate whether the meanings of new verbs can be derived solely from the verbs' syntactic environment. Masami Nomura and Yasuhiro Shirai study the overextension of intransitive to transitive verbs in Japanese children. Processing: Letitta Naigles argues that children at seventeen months do not show substantial verb comprehension. Allyson Carter and LouAnn Gerken claim that young children use function morphemes as an aid in parsing speech. Phonology: Thierry Nazzi explores how rhythm influences early speech perception, and Richard F. S. Hung claims that rhythm differences in Mandarin and Taiwanese Chinese result in different acquisition strategies. Penelope Brown examines the roles of prosody and semantic salience in the acquisition of first verbs in Tzeltal Mayan. Heather Goad argues that children's first word-final consonants are syllabified as onsets of empty-headed syllables. Mark Hale and Charles Reiss propose that deviations from target forms in children's phonological production are due to performance factors instead of children 's grammar. Pragmatics: Shu-Hui Eileen Chen investigates how Mandarin-speaking children and adults use word order and competing stress to interpret given and new information. Syntax: Helen Goodluck, Arhonto Terzi, and Gema Chocono Díaz study the influence of lexical semantics and subordinate clause morphology on the acquisition of controlled PRO. Narrative: F. Hülya Özcan examines pronominalization strategies in the narratives of Turkishspeaking children; Norma Jean Gomme and Carolyn Johnson investigate this area in English-speaking children. David Wilkins explores the construction of complex motion events in Arrernte children's narratives. General Issues: Judy Kegl and John McWhorter present the emergence of Nicaraguan Sign Language as an example of current-day creolization. Werner Deutsch, Angela Wagner, Renate Burchardt, Karen Jahn, and Nina Schulz discuss the acquisition of possessives in children with siblings versus singletons. Susanne Döpke argues that structures characteristic of bilingual acquisition are due to increased processing complexity oftwo languages. ?e? Nakamura investigates Japanese boys' and girls' acquisition of gender-specific linguistic features. This book makes available generally high-quality work on diverse aspects of children's language development , representing various theoretical approaches to acquisition.

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.
