Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Kirundi has two principle ways of expressing negation: nti-/si- and ta-. One occurs before subject-marking in matrix clauses (primary/NEG1) and the other after subject-marking in embedded clauses or following A’-movement (secondary/NEG2) respectively. Thus, the aim of this paper is to investigate the distinction between primary and secondary negation in Kirundi. I argue that the different contexts and positions for negation are due to left peripheral phenomena. More specifically, when C0 is filled in subordinate clauses and following A’-extraction, primary negation is blocked from occurring. In these cases, secondary negation surfaces instead. This analysis accounts for their complementary distributions.

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.
