Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

WhatsApp messages can be such a rich source for creative and spontaneous language geared towards more individual expression. This study aims to explore the linguistic features of text messaging communicative intent, content and context. 100 different texts from a high school student population in Canada were collected and analyzed using Biber and Conrad’s (2009) qualitative approach to register, genre, and style analysis. The result is that many people use a lot of clipped sentences in a free flow of casual speech. It is concluded that while it is true that a lot of common abbreviations are used and have become standard, there is a lot of individualistic variance in terms of style and language usage.

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.
