Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract English pronominal quantifier doublets ( some/any/every/no - + - body / -one ) have been variable since Middle English. Previous research ( D’Arcy et al. 2013 ; see also Biber et al. 1999 ) shows varying patterns of -body and -one by region and quantifier, with an overall slow progression toward -one and possible eventual obsolescence of -body that is highly dependent on social and geographic correlates; the - body variant is retained in rural areas, no matter their location and distance from the large urban centre of Toronto, yet with notable consistency and parallels in the underlying constraints. These findings align with the cascade model ( Trudgill 1974 , 2011 ; Labov 2003 ) and models of transmission versus diffusion of change ( Labov 2007 ; Tagliamonte and Denis 2014 ).

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.
