Langues et musique populaire : étude des choix et représentations linguistiques des acteurs du Konpa dans la diaspora haïtienne à partir d'entrevues semi-dirigées
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Konpa, Haiti's popular music of choice, reflects the country's multilingual reality, being sung frequently in several different languages, including French and Creole. Building on this observation, this study examines the linguistic attitudes of Konpa industry participants and their views on the language choices in Konpa songs. Based on semi-structured interviews conducted with eight individuals highly involved in the Konpa scene in Montreal and Miami, the findings reveal a largely unfavourable perception of French, Haiti’s co-official language mainly spoken by the country’s elite. In contrast, Creole, the mother tongue of most Haitians, is revealed to be not only the preferred language in the participants' Konpa songs but to also be considered to resonate deeply with the identity of both diaspora musicians and the broader Haitian community. Konpa thus reflects Haitian reality, especially its linguistic conflicts, which have been prevalent for more than two centuries.

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.
