Castilian Distinción Theta Check
Audit explicitly annotated Spanish lexical s versus c/z sets and observed s/θ/other realizations, preserving missing evidence; supports distinction screening, not national/regional stereotypes or inferred pronunciation from spelling.
Description
Distinción is screened from observed s versus c/z lexical sets and actual realizations.
Distinción is screened from observed s versus c/z lexical sets and actual realizations. Both sets are needed to support a distinction pattern.1
Enter aligned nonempty integer underlying-set codes 0s/1c-z and realization codes 0s/1θ/2other. Return relevant percentages or −1 when absent, both-set flag and complete-match flag.
When to use Castilian Distinción Theta Check
Use Castilian Distinción Theta Check when you need to evaluate the supplied records under the calculation and evidence rules below. No national/regional dialect, pronunciation from spelling or audio realization is inferred.
Prepare explicit text tokens, annotated language observations, caller mappings or a supported locale as requested. Preserve source evidence and the stated Unicode counting convention.
How to use Castilian Distinción Theta Check and understand its results
- Prepare explicit text tokens, annotated language observations, caller mappings or a supported locale as requested. Preserve source evidence and the stated Unicode counting convention.
- Enter callerUnderlyingSOrCZSet, observedSThetaOtherRealizationCodes using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
- Read sSetObservedSRealizationPercent, czSetObservedThetaRealizationPercent, bothUnderlyingSetsObserved, matchesObservedDistincionPattern. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
- If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type; see rules below | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| callerUnderlyingSOrCZSet | Caller underlying s or c z set | list of number | Required |
| observedSThetaOtherRealizationCodes | Observed s theta other realization codes | list of number | Required |
Enter aligned nonempty integer underlying-set codes 0s/1c-z and realization codes 0s/1θ/2other. Return relevant percentages or −1 when absent, both-set flag and complete-match flag.
match=all s-set→s AND all c/z-set→θ AND both sets present Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| sSetObservedSRealizationPercent | S set observed s realization percent | number |
| czSetObservedThetaRealizationPercent | Cz set observed theta realization percent | number |
| bothUnderlyingSetsObserved | Both underlying sets observed | boolean |
| matchesObservedDistincionPattern | Matches observed distincion pattern | boolean |

}Limitations and assumptions
No national/regional dialect, pronunciation from spelling or audio realization is inferred.
Numeric inputs, where present, must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Numeric lists are limited to 10,000 entries; string lists to 128 strings of at most 128 characters each. The rules above may impose smaller limits. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors. A successfully returned false flag is an evaluated outcome; its meaning is explained above.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use R-Dropping Dialect Classifier: Observed r retention depends on phonological context. Missing contexts cannot establish a complete nonrhotic pattern. For a complementary task, use Mutual Intelligibility Percent Pair Lookup: Comprehension can differ by testing direction. Pooling observed words weights directions by their actual test sizes.
