Interaction of Demonstratives With Nominal Spine in Haili Arabic
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This research addresses the syntactic behaviour and distribution of demonstratives in Haili Arabic, less-investigated Arabic variety. It precisely looks at how demonstratives interact with other DP components. To this end, the recent advancements of the Minimalist Program (Chomsky 1995 and subsequent work) are adopted. Following the cross-linguistic assumption that demonstratives are heads of a dedicated projection, DemP, the study argues that demonstratives in Haili Arabic are endowed with a set of uninterpretable Φ-features. Demonstratives function as a probe, and the head noun is the goal valuing their Φ-features. A by-product of this value is the morphological form of the given demonstrative. As for base-generation of demonstratives, I proposed two accounts. The first one maintains that there is only one projection hosting demonstratives. Thus, when demonstratives appear at the end of the DP, the head noun, lower Do, and any accompanying nominal modifiers move to the spec of DemP. The second account is that there are two DemP’s per a single DP, where only one can host the demonstrative at a time.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
