Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Discussions on the texture of written Ghanaian literature have significantly emphasised English literature, constructing an image of a monolingual literary space while furthering a divide between Europhone literatures as written and Afrophone literatures as oral. This paper explores the possible texture of a Ghanaian multilingual national literature from the perspective of the Ga language. Considering Ga as an ultraminor literature, it examines how Ga authors and readers attempt to rethink the nation multilingually by challenging a written monolingual national literary framing. The paper foregrounds multilingualism as a relational category dependent upon the shifting dynamics between languages and literatures. It argues that minority provides an effective position for Ga authors to create their own literary spaces without adapting to the major English space, which in turn, forces a multilingual reading of the entire literary network.

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.
