Abstract
In French-speaking Belgium, language columnists were among the main representatives of a language correction movement. Because of their prescriptive approach which dominated from the birth of the genre in the early 20th century until the 1980s, language columns helped to fuel the conflictual relationship Belgians have long had with their variety of French. The aim of this article is to examine the discursive construction of deontic authority in prescriptive Belgian language columns. More specifically, we will focus on the linguistic means used by columnists to position themselves about the actions to be taken in terms of ‘good’ language use. Within this framework, the uses promoted can be described as more or less obligatory, optional, permitted or prohibited. The qualitative analysis is based on a corpus of texts published between 1922 and 1956 in the language columns of Joseph Deharveng and Philippe Baiwir.

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
