CONTRIBUTION D’UN JURILINGUISTE À LA DISTINCTION ENTRE PRÉJUDICE ET DOMMAGE
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Law contains very few synonymous and interchangeable terms or expressions, such as the French civil law terms “dommages” and “dommages et interets”, both meaning “damages”. As with any specialized language, the majority oflegal terms are monosemic, and synonymy is rare. Many lawyers mistake the key French civil liability terms dommage and prejudice as being synonymous. This causes a sometimes erratic use of the words in doctrine, jurisprudenceand, above all, by the legislator. Are they synonymous to the point of being interchangeable in any situation? Like most Francophone civil lawyers, the Quebec legislator seems to think so, contrary to the old order established sincethe Napoleonic Code. What does a jurilinguist have to say about it?

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
