Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The concepts of performative language and speech acts provide insight into the interaction that occurs among speakers, hearers, language and the world. Speech-act theory often works together with other critical approaches, from deconstruction to cultural studies to psychoanalytic theory, contributing to these approaches a focus on the ‘performative’-that is to say, the active, dynamic or efficient-aspect of language. The speech-act critic is concerned with such questions as: how do spoken or written utterances affect the circumstances in which they take place? What gives these utterances and their speakers the authority necessary to alter reality? In what senses and under what circumstances can it be said that words change the world? These issues are addressed by Romantic writers themselves as well as by modern philosophers of language, and a speech-act approach to Romantic literature considers, among other things, the similarities and the differences in the way the issues are framed in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

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.
