Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article explores, from a theoretical angle and through the lens of translation, the no­tion of linguistic borders, specific to European and colonial ideologies of language, which continue to define the dominant approach to language in the Canadian colonial context. Refuting the conven­tional idea that translation stems from linguistic borders, and following instead the hypothesis that translation is precisely one of the main activities that create such borders, the article suggests that a transformation of Western and colonial conceptions of language will require a radical redefinition of translation. The article first explores the centrality of borders in the modern definition of translation, before outlining the colonial discursive regime on language. It then explores the role of translation in the (re)production of linguistic boundaries today, and offers avenues for a redefinition of translation, with a postlingual and decolonial aim.

Not 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.
