Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract This chapter delineates the emergence of terminology activities in Canada in the early 1900s, and goes on to cover the major turning points in the development of the discipline and profession up to the end of the 1980s. It shows how terminology became a key tool in carrying out Canada’s official bilingualism policy, providing the French terms needed to translate increasingly specialised texts from English to French. It also illustrates the pivotal role terminology played in the extensive campaign led by the Quebec government in the 1970s and 1980s to make French the official language of business, administration, and commerce in the province of Quebec. Lastly, it touches on the francisation of the common law vocabulary, another milestone in the history of terminology in Canada.

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.
