Abstract
Abstract The paper describes anyway in the Irish component of the International Corpus of International English (ICE-IRL) and similarities and differences in its use compared with other varieties of English represented in the ICE-Corpus. The findings showed that anyway was most frequent in ICE-IRL closely followed by the Canadian component of the ICE-Corpus. It was least frequent in the Santa Barbara Corpus of Spoken American English. The present analysis has demonstrated that anyway in Irish English has a distinctive pragmatic profile which is based on its position in the peripheries and what it is doing there. Anyway in the left periphery was placed after an intrusive topic, a digression, a correction, interruption by the hearer and permits the speaker to resume the topic in an explicit way. In Irish English anyway in the right periphery was above all an attenuating politeness marker. Anyway was found with a hedging meaning in contexts where it restricted the validity of a proposition by making a correction or adjustment of some kind. The high frequency of anyway in the right periphery as a hedging pragmatic marker can be analysed in terms of its capacity to index a special kind of Irishness characterized by the absence of self-promotion and avoidance of social distance

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
