Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Recent changes in Canada’s immigration patterns have intensified the tension between Cantonese and Mandarin in local Chinese communities. This longitudinal study examines 24 Cantonese-speaking parents’ language ideologies and practices in maintaining their children’s bidialectalism in Cantonese and Mandarin in relation to English and French. Findings revealed a language hierarchy and a shift in their attitudes towards Mandarin over the three years. These trends were shaped by their solidarity with their Chinese roots and transnational membership. The findings suggest that parental language ideologies toward bidialectalism are complex and must be understood in glocal contexts.

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.
