“Un ‘Pygmalion’ québécois: une victoire”: Éloi de Grandmont’s Translation of Bernard Shaw’s <i>Pygmalion</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT Éloi de Grandmont’s 1968 translation of Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, staged by Théâtre du Nouveau Monde in their 1968–69 season, featured dialogue in standard French as well as joual, paralleling Shaw’s dichotomy between Cockney and Standard English from the 1941 source text, and also reterritorialized London’s environs to Montreal. Grandmont’s translation of Pygmalion highlights translation as creative and productive, rather than derivative and secondary, work because it reconstructs and reterritorializes, rather than mimics, a Shavian Montreal. Adapting the original play demonstrates how language influences and constructs identity through the layering of various other linguistic and cultural constructions. This article therefore demonstrates the impact of Grandmont’s proactive translation of Shaw’s Pygmalion, serving to inspire later sociopolitically proactive translations in Quebec, and analyzes how the translator foregrounds Québécois identity during the formative period of La Révolution Tranquille.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
