Échos culturels : Dynamique et évolution de la langue française dans les œuvres littéraires et cinématographiques francophones de la Louisiane et de l’Afrique, du XIXe siècle à nos jours
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Francophone studies have long recognized the well-established literary connections between African and diasporic Caribbean literatures. However, the ties between Louisiana and African Francophone literary traditions remain understudied. This research interrogates the corpus of Francophone Louisiana and Francophone African writings from the 19th century to the present, employing a comparative framework to juxtapose the smallest Francophone region (Louisiana) with the largest (Francophone Africa). By analyzing the evolution of the French language and its cinematic representations across these regions, this study elucidates distinct yet interrelated linguistic phenomena that have emerged since the 19th century, thereby constructing a theoretical framework for understanding the trajectory of French in these contexts. The comparative approach emphasizes the regionalization of French through processes of Africanization and Creolization, revealing the profound sociolinguistic transformations shaped by historical, cultural, and social forces. This perspective enables a transdisciplinary examination of linguistic and literary legacies, bridging Francophone Louisiana and Francophone Africa while engaging with broader questions of language evolution, identity formation, and lived experiences. Crucially, this study establishes connections between these regions not only through their shared histories of transatlantic slavery but also through the African linguistic foundations of Louisiana Creole, thereby contributing to a more nuanced understanding of Francophone cultural and literary intersections.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
