Abstract
Contemporary Issues in Manx Culture.During the past several decades, the Isle of Man has undergone a remarkable process of cultural and linguistic revitalization.Issue 5 (2006) of Celtic Cultural Studies, an "interdisciplinary on-line journal," features a series of articles that focus on various aspects of this revitalization process.Although the title of this special edition is "Contemporary Issues in Manx Culture", the articles reveal both the contemporary manifestations and the historical roots of the Isle of Man's cultural rejuvenation.The articles explore different, yet complementary, aspects of contemporary culture in the Isle of Man.In her article "The Story of Mann and All That, or How Heritage Became History Again", Susan Lewis uses a thespian backdrop to reinforce a broader point about the importance of making the Isle of Man's history and culture relevant and alive to islanders and newcomers alike.Jennifer Kewley Draskau's piece on "Ethnocultural Linkage in Language Revival: The Role of Joshua Fishman's Yians in Xish Revitalization: The Case of Manx Gaelic" examines the contributions that non-Manx have made to the preservation and promotion of the Manx Gaelic language.In "Shaping the Shape-Shifter: Cultural Revival, Spirituality and the Manx Manannan", Breesha Maddrell traces the efforts of cultural revivalists to resurrect Manannan, the Celtic sea-god, patron and protector of the Isle of Man.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
