Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Cette étude adopte une approche variationniste ajustée pour analyser les dynamiques de variation dans une variété de langue seconde postcoloniale, l’anglais namibien. Compte tenu du profil multiethnique de la Namibie, trois scénarios sont testés: (1) l’anglais de Namibie converge vers la variété de l’ancienne élite coloniale (blanche et métisse); (2) vers celle de la majorité noire ou (3) forme une variété de compromis située à l’intersection de divers ethnolectes. L’étude soutient principalement le premier scénario, bien que ce soient plus les Métis que les Blancs qui semblent servir de modèle linguistique. Les données soutiennent surtout le premier scénario, mais aussi, marginalement, les deux autres. Les résultats montrent que les variétés postcoloniales de langue seconde peuvent manifester des dynamiques de focalisation similaires à celles observées pour les langues premières, qui sont au cœur des approches variationnistes traditionnelles.

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.
