Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Northern East Cree has several /+h/ morphemes, which, when suffixed onto a word, add meanings such as inanimate plurality or animate obviation. Literature on these morphemes has yet to describe the impressionistic accent shift that accompanies /+h/ suffixation onto a word. In this article findings are presented from an exploratory descriptive study in which citation forms with and without the /+h/ morphemes are compared, examining how accent shift is acoustically realized, as well as the relevance of pitch slope and modal voicing. The results do not align with previous analyses of the /+h/ morphemes’ properties. Rather, it is possible that words without /+h/ have a falling tone pattern, whereas words with /+h/ have a level tone pattern, suggesting that pitch slope, in combination with modal voice, may be the best diagnostic of the presence of /+h/ morphemes.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
