The Prevalence of Ethnobotanical Data Inclusion in Linguistic Documentation in Dictionaries from 1960 to 2020
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper examines the role linguists play in the preservation of biocultural diversity by attempting to measure the extent that linguists include ethnobotanical information in language documentation works like dictionaries.This study analyzes various types of dictionaries, on different languages, and compares them to literature on what is recommended for inclusion.The primary method of analysis consists of assessing what types of information are typically included or excluded as well as if factors like year of or type of publication affect inclusion.Relevant entries from each dictionary are listed in the appendices.The global community is seeing increased threats to biological, cultural, and linguistic diversities and there are increasing developments suggesting their interconnectivity.As such, is it vital to assess what documentation measures are being taken, if they are producing desired results, and if not, why.Understanding the results and seeing changes over time will help guide future efforts.

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.
