Còmhraidhean nan Cnoc: the Nineteenth-Century Gaelic Prose Dialogue
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This volume is a study of the còmhradh, or dialogue, which was a highly distinctive feature of the Gaelic literary landscape in the nineteenth century. Over 300 còmhraidhean appeared in print over the course of the century, mainly in Scotland, but also in Gaelic periodicals in Canada and Australia. Commonly associated with the Rev. Dr Norman MacLeod/Caraid nan Gàidheal (17831862) and his journals of the 1830s and 1840s, the genre was one which was revived in the Gaelic columns of newspapers during the 1870s and 1880s, and became the principal Gaelic prose genre for discussing land issues and politics during the turbulent Land Agitation years. The volume includes thirty-five edited còmhraidhean with accompanying notes, an extensive critical introduction, and a glossary to support readers in their understanding of these lexically, and idiomatically, rich texts. The subject matter ranges from the Gaelic language, education, and emigration to church politics, land agitation, and technological innovation.

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.
