Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Fact projection is realized as a fact noun followed by an appositive clause. In this article, we conducted a corpus-based study of the modality of fact nouns. It is found that proposal facts tend to occur more in formal academic texts than proposition facts because the higher obligation that proposal facts construe does not fit into the interpersonal communication purpose in informal spoken texts. It is also found that modalized proposition facts are more prevalent in formal academic texts than non-modalized proposition facts because modalized proposition facts can lower the negotiability and the risk of rejection from readers in academic texts. These findings reveal how nominalization trigger the reenactment of interpersonal relationship in fact projection so the modality becomes salient and persuasive. The modality realized by fact nouns also contributes to the abstraction, objectification and reliability in academic writing.

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.
