Abstract
In this paper, we report a corpus-based transitivity analysis on the six process types employed in realizing some stylistic features of the English-medium medical research article (RA). By studying 25 complete English-medium medical RAs from five SCI English-medium medical journals, we find that the transitivity system plays an important role in the realization of stylistic features of the English-medium medical RA and that the application of different process types in the different sections may be associated with the purposes and style requirements of each section. Proper application of the process types from the perspective of the different style requirements may enable nonnative English speaking (NNES) medical RA writers to produce stylistically appropriate medical RAs, and eventually lead to the ultimate goal of successful publication.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
