Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In West Coast Swing (WCS) dancing, traditionally only men were permitted to lead and women to follow; however, since 2014 the degendering movement has sought to enable all dancers to participate in their preferred role and to remove gendered language from the discourse around leading and following. As part of a larger linguistic ethnography exploring (de)gendered language use in WCS contexts across Central Canada and the US Northeast and Midwest, this case study explores patterns of and factors contributing to the use and avoidance of gendered language in The Naked Truth, a podcast created by and for the WCS community. While the podcast hosts use the degendered terms ‘leader’ and ‘follower’, their differing but continued use of heteronormatively gendered pronouns in coreference with these neutral terms suggests that the speakers’ mental models remain gendered and that there is a continued need for representation of individuals dancing in nonheteronormative roles.

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.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
