Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract This exploratory study investigates the evolution of coda /s/ weakening in Andalusian Spanish as a heritage language spoken in Brussels. Ongoing change promoted by dialect contact with other Spanish varieties was assessed on speech data retrieved via interviews with first- and second-generation Andalusian immigrants in the city. Their coda /s/ production was analyzed in terms of perceptual categorization, acoustic evidence of frication, and duration. A contrastive analysis throughout these parameters confirmed that, within the sample studied, second-generation speakers weaken coda /s/ considerably less than speakers from the first generation, suggesting a shift from traditional Andalusian speech. These results highlight the importance of sociolinguistic approaches for a thorough understanding of the subtle changes that languages undergo in diasporic contexts.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
