What we reviewed · Initial source note
Primary study summary in founding audit; full-text methods review pending.
Not yet independently reviewed by a scientific specialist.
What this does — and doesn’t — establish
Conversational context and structural variation are not an English vocabulary or evidence of unrestricted translation.
What we can build on
Model temporal structure while keeping claims about meaning separate from claims about acoustic patterns.
