Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper examines the relevant legislation which establishes the official languages of Nunavut, a multilingual subnational unit of Canada, and discusses issues in the interpretation of said legislation. The main issues identified are the definition of “Inuit Language” and the authority afforded to acts in “Inuit.” The Official Languages Act (2008) and the Inuit Language Protection Act (2008) establish and define the three official languages of Nunavut as English, French, and “Inuit Language.” I argue that the legislation, though recognizing Inuit cultural views of themselves as one people speaking one language, also accounts for the varying mutual intelligibilities between Inuit “dialects.” Importantly, there are provisions in the legislation which allow for the legislature to afford translations in the “Inuit Language” equal status to the English and French drafts. This is novel in a country predicated on equivalence and sameness of English and French and is deserving of further inquiry

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.
