Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Fictional languages are a type of artificial language known as a constructed language. They, and their writing systems, are developed in association with fictional works including literature, television, and film to bring a sense of authenticity to the fictional world. The fictional languages also act to help add a realistic element to the sociolinguistic aspects of the world, as dialects of a language may be used to illustrate social standing. Fictional languages and writing systems are of interest to linguistic anthropologists as they help us understand a unique form of human creativity, they can be tools for students to learn about linguistic structures and the relationship between language and culture, and they are often learned by fans, who develop speech communities associated with the fictional languages.

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.
