Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This study examined 20 Greek/English bilinguals, living in the Vancouver area, Canada. The duration of aspiration for the three voiceless stops (/p/, /t/, /k/) and for the following vowel for a series of Greek and English stimuli were analyzed. Factors such as the Age of Arrival (AOA), Age of Learning (AOL), Length of Residence (LOR), everyday use of Greek and English and self-estimated proficiency in both languages were taken into consideration. A number of English sentences produced by the same speakers were also collected and rated for accentedness by native speakers of English. The degree of accent of the bilingual subjects were also exam-ined along with the data collected. The main focus of the study is to see how the interaction of first language (L1) and second language (L2), if any, is observed con-cerning VOT (voice onset time) and following vowel duration.

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.
