Non-traditional gender-identity terms: A lexicological approach
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Nontraditional gender identity terms have proliferated in recent years. The anglicismqueer is found in French but is competing with expressions like LGBT, allosexuel, altersexuel, trans, and bispirituel. The groups concerned are trying to acquire symbolic capital by proposing names that are inclusive of more gender identities and sexual orientations. The present study is a lexicological analysis of these neologisms and factors that may favor or, on the contrary, curtail their circulation in the general press in Quebec. Have the groups that we call by these names expressed preferences or commented about them? Do we feel a normative concern for certain names such as the anglicism queer? Is integration into the lexical system of French a necessary condition for the circulation of terms? This article attempts to identify which of these factors carries more weight than others.

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.
