Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This thesis looks at the sound changes which occurred from reconstructed Proto- Algonquian to Old Montagnais.The Old Montagnais language was recorded by the Jesuits during the seventeenth century in the region of Qubec City, Lac Saint-Jean and the lower Saguenay River at the Tadoussac mission.Their most important works which survive to this day are two dictionaries, Dctionnaire montagnais by Antoine Silvy and Racines montagnises by Bonaventure Fabvre.By comparing the entries in these two dictionaries with their Proto-Algonquian cognates, a series of sound changes is presented which account for the seventeenth century form of the language.Most notably, this period sees the beginnings of *k-palatalisation, so characteristic of Montagnais languages today.Other sound changes include: some lsl-llneutralisation, /sti assibilation, and the /r/ reflex of *1.

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.
