Bibliographic record
Abstract
The relevance of the study is determined by the need for a comprehensive description of the stylistic variability of Canadian French, which is shaped by bilingualism, regional differentiation, and active contact processes with the English language. The aim of the study was to establish the functional, structural, and sociolinguistic parameters of diaphasic registers that define the contemporary French-speaking space in Canada. The research methodology was based on a qualitative analysis of public, media, and institutional texts representing different registers, as well as on a structural-functional approach to their comparison. The analysis covered four main stylistic levels of Canadian French: formal (institutionnel), neutral (courant), colloquial (familier), and joual as a separate diaphasic-diatopic variety. Their functional interaction, coexistence in a single communicative space, and specific differentiation, manifested at the level of vocabulary, phonetics, syntax, and pragmatic characteristics of French Canadians’ speech, were established. The study includes a description of the lexical, syntactic, phonetic, and pragmatic properties of registers and the peculiarities of their contextual functioning. The results demonstrate that the formal register ensures the stability and normativity of institutional communication; the neutral register acts as an interregional mediator, combining standardization with Canadian markers; the colloquial register is characterized by phonetic reductions, pragmatic particles, and a high frequency of Anglicisms; joual functions as a local cultural-identity variety with its own lexical-phonetic complex. The study shows that diaphasic variation in French-speaking Canada is a key mechanism for the formation of linguistic identity and reflects the complex interaction of social, regional, and contact factors. The results obtained are of practical importance for the further description of the Canadian French norm, the development of resources for teaching French as a second language, the compilation of regional corpora, and the conduct of comparative sociolinguistic studies.

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.
