Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Children adopted internationally typically experience an abrupt and total switch from the language of their birth country to the language of their adoptive family, a process referred to as second first language acquisition . Age at adoption, quality of pre-adoption care, health and developmental status, and post-adoption environment may influence the ease with which children make the shift to the new language and how quickly and completely they catch up to non-adopted peers. This chapter chronicles the author’s multiple experiences with second first language acquisition as a clinician, parent and researcher. Longitudinal data from children adopted internationally are presented, including case studies and larger group studies. Changing trends in international adoption and directions for future research are also explored.

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.
