The Generator-Eraser Paradox: Community Guidelines for Responsible LLM-Assisted Dialect Resource Creation
Dialect resources occupy a unique position at the intersection of scientific description, cultural preservation, and computational infrastructure. Large language models offer powerful capabilities for accelerating dialect resource development through retrieval-grounded drafting, corpus navigation, metadata enrichment, and annotation workflow support. However, the same systems pose substantial risks: they can contribute to dialect erasure by privileging prestige varieties, homogenizing orthography, and enabling synthetic feedback loops that reduce linguistic diversity over time. These risks are particularly acute for language varieties characterized by diglossia, limited written standardiz...
