Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Language has often been associated with the political culture of citizens and certain core values and expectations in multilingual federations. In times of crisis, the existence and extent of cultural characteristics are particularly relevant for multilingual societies, where cultural differences can fuel political conflict as much as similarities can bring people together. To answer whether and how language is associated with different political attitudes, this article analyses a cross-sectional survey of 7600 citizens in Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Switzerland, and the United States. We find that some attitudes toward governance are indeed correlated with language, despite different nation-state contexts. In particular, French-speakers have different preferences for territorial centralization, while the governance attitudes of English-speakers are almost indistinguishable across countries. These findings allow us to refine and reconcile two common assumptions in the literature: that linguistic diversity leads to heterogeneous policy preferences, and that national integration masks cultural differences.

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.
