Abstract
Vocabulary and the Four Skills, edited by Jon Clenton and Paul Booth, reports on very recent research closely examining the relationship between lexis and each of the four classical skills of listening, reading, speaking, and writing. A whole section is dedicated to each skill, and these four sections are arranged in a parallel fashion: an introductory chapter summing up the current state of research is followed by longer presentations of two empirical studies, and a short chapter on possible future directions of research in the respective area completes each section. Brief introduction and conclusion chapters written by the two coeditors surround these four main parts. The contributors of the studies themselves comprise more and less renowned experts on research on these skills from various countries all over the world including Canada, China, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, and the United Kingdom, and also people from different professional...

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
