Abstract
Abstract This ethnographic account—the first stage of a variationist sociolinguistic study with First Nations youth in Australia—explores the stylistic practices of First Nations women at a boarding school in Western Australia. It shows how drawing on semiotic signs of racialized bodies, anti‐mainstream practices, and orientations to language use, borders create a joint identity as an act of resistance. In displaying subtle distinctions at different levels of symbolic practice, students signal differentiation and give shape to fluid peer groups, or Constellations of Practice. Yet, ultimately, their stylistic practices point to a shared project: the articulation of Aboriginal identity in a settler‐colonial context and, more specifically, within a white‐led boarding school environment where enduring regimes of whiteness persist.

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
