Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Looking at the use of French in Stanstead, a small bilingual community located at the border of Quebec and Vermont, several phonological and morphological variables ( ne presence, verbal ending neutralization, /p/ aspiration, and (R)) are analyzed, using a comparative approach. First language French speakers from Stanstead are compared to Montreal French majority speakers, and to Ontario French minority speakers. Second language speakers of French from Stanstead are compared to English-speaking Montrealers speaking French. The possible influence of English phonology on native French is also explored, with reference to earlier work carried out in Sherbrooke, the largest city of the Eastern Townships, the region Stanstead is part of. Attitudes towards bilingualism and code-switching are investigated as possible characteristics of local identity.

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.
