Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This essay performs a sociolinguistic analysis of Bon Cop Bad Cop (Eric Canuel, 2006), a bilingual action-comedy which succeeded in becoming the highest-grossing domestically-produced film in Canadian history. The paper employs research methods that have productively been applied to multilingual texts and to other aspects of the dynamic between English and French in Canada. The evidence presented, particularly the analysis of subtitling, contests the ideal of a monolingual nation-state: Bon Cop, Bad Cop’s popular success in both English and French Canada can be seen as an indication that even monolingual Canadians identify with the bilingual nature of their national culture.

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.
