Abstract
Theoretical approaches to second language research suggest that the interaction between different linguistic modules may be at the root of many difficulties faced by learners. The choice of mood in relative clauses in Spanish illustrates the problem given that, in order to be proficient in this area, speakers must know what the two moods, indicative and subjunctive, bring to the meaning of the sentences (semantics) and what the contribution of the context is (pragmatics). Based on results of research carried out by generative linguists on the acquisition of mood selection in relative clauses, this paper argues that the results of theoretically based research that looks at questions such as these has an important contribution to make to language teaching, bridging the gap between generative linguistic approaches to SLA and pedagogy.

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 it
