Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract This chapter outlines the harmony system of the Goris dialect of Armenian. This variety displays a number of interesting features, including variable transparency vs. opacity of neutral vowels, locally optional bidirectional harmony targeting weak (reduced or epenthetic) vowels, with [round] harmony parasitic on [back] harmony, and complex ordering interactions between vowel harmony and other phonological processes such as vowel reduction and epenthesis. The chapter proposes that the dialect exhibits three distinct harmony processes. Suffix/enclitic harmony propagates contrastive [back] values rightward, affecting suffixes, connectives, and enclitics. Weak vowels optionally undergo weak back harmony and parasitic round harmony. These processes are locally optional, and bidirectionally propagate [back] and [round] within the lexical word (prefix–root–suffix, excluding clitics); [round] spreading is parasitic on [back] harmony.

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.
