Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

By referring to the old German distinction between culture and civilization, this article aims to show the geopolitical risks of languages in Quebec. Three moments in history bring to light a different link between language, power, and geopolitics: The French Empire, French Canada, and Quebec. By retracing the history of these moments, the national language's history is revealed as a mediator between culture and civilization. That is the reason why Quebec remains a central political issue today: How can we maintain a link between civilization and culture through language?

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
