Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

To date no satisfactory writing system exists for Michif, a bilingual mixed language deriving from Southern Plains Cree and Metis French.Michif differs phonologically from both Southern Plains Cree and to a lesser extent from Metis French.Differing local phonetic norms further complicate transcription.The various systems proposed before the present either derive from English, French, and/or Standard Cree and thus imperfectly fit Michif or else rely on phonetic notation, which excludes most nonspecialist readers, including native speakers.Additionally, diacriticals and phonetic symbols transmit badly on the internet, affecting web sites, email, and academic material.The system here is still under elaboration but is acrophonic and consistent.It addresses vowel length and nasalized vowels as well as liaison consonants, the treatment of schwa and its deletion, Cree vowel-deletion, and some adfixes.RESUMlt lusqu'a present, il n'existe aucun systeme vraiment adquat pour ecrire en mitchif, langue mixte bilingue issue d'une part du cri (dialecte meridional des Plaines) et de la variete particuliere du fran,<ais vernaculaire parlee par les Metis de l'Ouest canadien.Mais le mitchif difrere phonologiquement du cri (dialecte meridional) et dans une moindre mesure du fran,<ais metis.De plus, la diversite des normes phonetiques locales vient compliquer tout effort de transcription uniforme.Les divers systemes qui ont ete utilises dans Ie passe s'inspirent soit de l'anglais, soit du fran,<ais eUou du cri standard; ceux-ci ne refletant que partiellement la phonetique specifique du mitchif ou alors ils utilisent une transcription phonetique, ce qui a pour effet d'exclure comme lecteurs potentiels tous les non-specialistes, y inclus la plupart des locuteurs natifs de la langue.De plus, plusieurs des systemes proposes utiIisent des diacritiques; ceux-ci se propagent mal sur Internet, que ce soit les sites web, les courriels ou du materiel academique.Le systeme que nous proposons est encore en voie d'elaboration mais il est totalement acrophonique et a Ie merite d'etre coherent et consequent.II tente de resoudre les problemes que posent la longueur des voyelles et les voyelles nasales, ceux des consonnes de liaison, Ie traitement du schwa,l'effacement des voyelles cries et de certains affixes.

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.
