A vitalidade identitária de contornos entonacionais característicos do falar manezinho
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article describes an intonational contour that typifies a dialectal variety of Brazilian Portuguese - “Manezinho” speech - and proposes the hypothesis of an interface between prosody and semantics/pragmatics, as the same intonational contour is interpreted with different meanings by “Manezinho” and non-“Manezinho” speakers. Seara e Sosa (2017), describing this “Manezinho” speech, identified a declarative contour with upstep in older speakers (over 50 years), that had not been yet described in the literature. This contour has an intonational nucleus with a very high peak followed by a drastic drop to the lower register of the speaker, represented phonologically as (LH) ¡H*L% in the Autosegmental-Metrical Theory (Pierrehumbert 1980, amongst other authors). This current research showed that although the younger speakers also use the contour with upstep, their version of it does not exhibit as high a rise as the ones produced by the elders. We conducted a discrimination test with contours with upstep similar to the ones of the older subjects, and by means of an identification test, we identified their semantic-pragmatic value. The discrimination test showed that the contour with upstep is widely used by the younger speakers, even if the rise is not as prominent as that of the older ones. The identification test showed that some prominent contours with upstep were identified by the non-Manezinhos as questions (17%); however, no Manezinho listener interpreted this kind of nucleus as a question. These results seem to suggest that we are facing two distinct varieties, which will require more in-depth analyses. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/gragoata.2018n46a1098

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.
