Abstract
Aiming to contribute to the small body of work that analyzes age as not only socially constructed but interactionally accomplished, this paper examines how California second-grade students refer to and perform aged identities (e.g., “baby,” “teenager”) in classroom peer interactions. Through the lens of what they call “aged authority,” the author analyzes how students take authoritative stances by making aged identities demonstrably relevant to their interactions across various types of classroom activities. An ethnographic multimodal analysis combining interactional and intersectional perspectives shows how, through topicalizations, stylizations, (mock) affect displays, storytelling, and ritual insults, focal students take stances of aged authority that variously reinforce and unsettle developmentalism, adultism, and other discourses.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
