Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract English’s global reach in various specialised communication contexts (e.g., business, education, research, legislation) sets it apart from other languages as regards terminology planning. The English case is decentralised: multiple well-established varieties of English co-exist and no overarching body has taken charge of terminology planning. Instead, individual corporations, grassroots movements, and large supranational organisations all participate in terminology planning in English, with subject experts taking a leading role. Another notable feature of its global reach is that English is often a starting point for terminology planning in other languages. However, the lack of a single standardised version of English can lead to inconsistencies, both within terminology planning efforts in English and when other languages adopt different varieties as a starting point.

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.
