Multilingüismo, actitudes y religión en la diáspora: los menonitas paraguayos de Manitoba
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Mennonites are a protestant Anabaptist group originated in Eastern Europe in the 16th century. Their first language is Plautdietsch (Mennonite German), although they use standard German for written communication and formal contexts. Persecuted because of their religious beliefs in Europe, and attracted by Canada’s offer of land, religious and cultural autonomy, around 7,000 Mennonites migrated to the province of Manitoba around 1870. However the progressive urbanization and acculturation threatened their isolated traditional lifestyle, causing them to migrate to remote areas in Latin America, where they slowly became in contact with Spanish and Portuguese. In 1947, the Canadian government facilitated the return of descendants of Canadian-born citizens, thus around 15,000 Mennonites returned to Canada. The present study examines the uses, attitudes and maintenance of Plautdietsch, High German and Spanish among fourteen Mennonite women who migrated from Paraguayan colonies, and currently reside in Winnipeg, the capital of Manitoba. Our results demonstrate that, despite being considered a key element of the Mennonite identity, Plautdietsch is not being transmitted to the Canadian-born generation. Also, religiousness and social networks are proven to be determinant factors in the transmission, use and attitudes towards the different linguistic varieties examined.

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.
