Cultural Duality of Figurative Meanings of Idioms
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study reviews the current research related to idiom comprehension strategies for both native and Englishlanguage learners (ELL). Central to this study was the examination of the cultural duality hypothesis – the theory thatindividuals may refer to idioms in their native language in order to solve culturally novel idioms that are different inform but similar in figurative meaning. A total of 86 participants were recruited into four testing groups: 1.English-speaking adults (EA) 2. Spanish-speaking adults (SA), 3. English-speaking children (EC), 4.Spanish-speaking children (SC). Each group completed both a Native Idiom Test (NIT) and a Culturally NovelIdiom Test (CNIT) in their native languages. The relationship between these two measures was used to indicate thepresence and extent of cultural duality demonstrated by each group. Results revealed that English-speaking childrenand adults demonstrated the greatest relationship between the NIT and CNIT and therefore demonstrated evidence ofthe use of cultural duality. Fifth-grade English language learners appeared to have limited access to this strategy.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 teacher head, not a consensus.
