Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract In September 1984, Braj Kachru suggested that an institutional archive for research on the English language across cultures should be set up. In Kachru's view, this project would include six strands of activity, including empirical sociolinguistic studies, pedagogical studies, resource materials, special registers, functional domains and formal studies. Over the succeeding decades, however, no such institute came into existence. This current paper therefore seeks to revive the plan to create such an institute, which, of course, should be appropriately named as ‘The Kachru Institute’.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
