Dictionary of Canadianisms on Historical Principles, Third Edition (www.dchp.ca/dchp3)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This is the third edition of the 1967 A Dictionary of Canadianisms on Historical Principles (DCHP-1). DCHP-3 integrates the legacy data of DCHP-1 (1967) and the updated data of DCHP-2 (2017) with new content to form DCHP-3. There are 136 new and updated entries in this edition for a new total of 12,045 headwords with 14,586 meanings. DCHP-3 lists, as did its predecessors, Canadianisms. A Canadianism is defined as "a word, expression, or meaning which is native to Canada or which is distinctively characteristic of Canadian usage though not necessarily exclusive to Canada." (Walter S. Avis in DCHP-1, page xiii; see DCHP-1 Online) This work should be cited as: Dollinger, Stefan and Margery Fee (eds). 2025. DCHP-3: The Dictionary of Canadianisms on Historical Principles, Third Edition. Vancouver, BC: University of British Columbia, www.dchp.ca/dchp3.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
