Abstract
Published in Nov 2011, this is a major revision of my seminal analysis of language rights & education. The book has reconfigured the field by providing an interdisciplinary analysis of language, identity and education alongside a defence of group-based language rights. It draws on sociology, sociolinguistics, politics, education, law, & explores in-depth international examples, including NZ, Wales, Catalonia, Quebec, France and USA. The 1st ed. was described as ‘a book of breathtaking conceptual and geographical scope’ (Ency. of Applied Linguistics). It has been cited over 560 times (Google Sch), shortlisted for the BAAL Book Prize 2002 & awarded an American Library Association Outstanding Title Award 2008. The 2nd ed. has 50,000 wds (40%) of new material. It addresses new theoretical developments over the last decade in sociolinguistics as to whether languages are definable, in sociology & political theory re cosmopolitanism and globalization, and in education re English as the language of mobility.

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
