**Analyzing the "Student" Context**

Okay, so the target is "student," and the surface form is "students." My initial scan tells me the surrounding text is, "...It hopes to speak to students at theological colleges about the joys of bell ringing..." Immediately, I'm thinking of the possible senses this word could carry. I've got two clear candidates:

1.  A learner, someone enrolled in an educational institution - a pupil, an educatee. That's the most common and likely meaning.

2.  A learned individual, maybe someone with a particular scholarly focus, especially in the humanities – a scholar, a bookman. This sense implies a higher level of learning or deeper study than the first.

Given the phrase "students at theological colleges," the first sense clearly fits the context. Theological colleges are educational institutions, and we're talking about engaging with *learners* within those institutions. It's safe to deduce the correct sense of "students" in this instance refers to those enrolled in the colleges. The scholarly sense just doesn't align with the environment.

**Analyzing the Context of "Colleges"**

Okay, here we go. The target lemma is "college," and the surface form is "colleges." The context is: "...It hopes to speak to students at theological colleges about the joys of bell ringing..." Immediately, my mind jumps to possible senses. I've got a few candidates: the faculty and student body, the institution itself, and the physical buildings.

Given the phrase "theological colleges," I'm leaning heavily towards the educational institution sense. Theological colleges are, by definition, institutions of higher learning focused on theology. The phrase "students at" further supports this. While "at" *could* refer to the physical location, it's far more common to refer to students as being *at* the institution, not necessarily just in the physical buildings. I'll need to confirm the distinction between the "body" sense, the "institution" sense, and the "building" sense.

Let me break it down: "students at theological colleges" clearly emphasizes the educational function. "Theological colleges" refers to those specific institutions, where theology is taught. Sense 2, "an institution of higher education created to educate and grant degrees; often a part of a university," seems like the most precise fit. It captures the essence of a seminary or similar institution perfectly. Therefore, I can confidently select **Sense 2** as the best interpretation.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Joys" in Context**

Okay, the target is "joys," and the context is about bell ringing. Right away, my expert intuition is leaning towards "sources of happiness" rather than just the general emotion of joy. Let's break it down:

I see two candidate senses, the emotion itself, and then the *things* that cause that emotion. When you see "the joys of bell ringing," the nuance is clearly pointing toward specific delights or pleasures that bell ringing offers. It's not just about some abstract feeling. It's about the tangible experiences.

Now for the linguistic check – crucial, even at my level! The plural "joys" strongly suggests a countable noun, which is a key indicator. Sense 2 fits this perfectly - we are talking about *multiple* sources or aspects of happiness. The emotion itself, the general state of being, is typically uncountable in this usage. "The joys of" just doesn't work for sense one.

So, the conclusion is clear. Sense 2 is the better fit. The phrase "the joys of bell ringing" specifically refers to the enjoyable aspects, the delights and pleasures, that bell ringing provides.

**Analyzing "Bell Ringing" in Context**

Okay, so the lemma I'm working with is "bell_ringing," and the surface form given is "bell ringing." My immediate focus is on the context provided: church bell ringers and their interactions with vicars. The text mentions the "Central Council of Church Bell Ringers" wanting to talk to theology students about the "joys of bell ringing." This is pretty clear, right?

Now, let's look at the candidate senses. Sense 1 is about the *sound* produced by bells. Sense 2 is about political canvassing. And Sense 3 is about the *activity* of playing bells, usually those hung in a tower, which the text itself tells us, the church uses.

Given the context, the phrase "joys of bell ringing" makes it clear they're talking about the act of *doing* it, not the sound it makes (sense 1), and definitely not political campaigning (sense 2). It's evident the activity described, "the joys of bell ringing" aligns perfectly with sense 3, "playing a set of bells that are (usually) hung in a tower." The Central Council and the theology students are clearly interested in the *practice* of bell ringing, making sense 3 the best fit.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Shortly"**

Okay, so the lemma I'm working with is "shortly." The context provided is: "It hopes to speak to students at theological colleges about the joys of bell ringing and will shortly publish a booklet..." My immediate task is to nail down the precise meaning of "shortly" in the phrase "will shortly publish."

Let's dissect this. "Shortly" needs to be understood in the context of publishing. I've got a few candidate senses in mind, let's see which fits best. First, "for a short time" - doesn't really work here; it doesn't convey the right timeframe. Then there is, "in the near future," "soon," "presently," - this looks like a strong possibility. Next, "in a curt, abrupt and discourteous manner" - completely irrelevant to publishing a booklet, so we can toss that. We also have "in a concise manner; in a few words"- nope, not about the *manner* of publishing, but when it will happen. Finally, there is "at a short distance" - clearly doesn't apply to the act of publishing.

Given this, sense number two, the one meaning "in the near future," is the obvious winner. It perfectly aligns with the intent of the sentence: "will shortly publish" is clearly synonymous with "will soon publish." The timeframe is the key here.

**Analyzing the Verb "Publish" in Context**

Okay, so the task is to nail down the meaning of "publish" in the phrase "...and will shortly publish a booklet for every vicar in the country entitled, 'The Bells in Your Care.'" My mind immediately jumps to a few candidate senses. First, the basic "put into print," synonymous with "print." Then, the broader "prepare and issue for public distribution or sale," which encompasses terms like "bring out," "put out," "issue," and "release." Finally, there's the sense related to authorship, "have (one's written work) issued for publication," implying the act of writing itself.

Looking at the context – a council distributing a booklet to vicars – the "put into print" sense seems too narrow. They're not necessarily *printing* the booklet themselves. The third sense, related to authors, isn't the primary focus here either. The key is that the Central Council is producing and *distributing* something.

That leaves Sense 2: "prepare and issue for public distribution or sale." "Publish a booklet" aligns perfectly with the idea of creating and releasing a publication. I'm checking, the "a booklet" aspect is key. Is it "public"? Well, it's going to every vicar in the country. It is definitely *issued* to this group, which fits with this meaning.

I'm making sure it's the correct sense. Let's compare to Sense 1, "The newspaper published the news..." That implies the *printing* of the news. Sense 2, "publish a magazine or newspaper," is the act of *releasing* a larger publication. "Publish a booklet," seems to be the best and accurate fit. Yes, "prepare and issue for public distribution or sale" encapsulates the council's action. The organization is doing the issuing of a publication.

Therefore, Sense 2 is the clear winner. The Central Council is preparing and issuing the booklet for distribution, which is precisely what "publish" means in this context. Done.

**Analyzing the Context of "Vicar"**

Okay, so the task is to pinpoint the correct sense of "vicar" in this specific context. The target is, unsurprisingly, "vicar", and it's used in the sentence about the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers. My immediate thought is, given that organization's association with bell-ringing, and the mention of "every vicar in the country," we're likely dealing with the UK, specifically England. Bell-ringing is a deeply ingrained tradition, especially within the Church of England, so that’s a very strong indicator.

I'm thinking, "vicar" has a few possible meanings - Roman Catholic priest, an Episcopal Church clergyman, or a Church of England clergyman. But given the context, the phrase "every vicar in the country" within the bell-ringing context practically screams Church of England. The Central Council, being a UK-based group, just reinforces that notion.

Let me confirm my hypothesis... The sentence says they "aims to improve relations with vicars." The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers is basically a parliament for ringing groups. Change ringing, as I know, is fundamentally an English church tradition. This strongly points towards the Church of England. Now, the dictionary definition confirms it: the third sense is "a clergyman appointed to act as priest of a parish." Bingo. Sense 3 it is. The context has made the disambiguation pretty straightforward.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Country" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "country," specifically in the phrase "a booklet for every vicar in the country." My initial thought is that the context points towards a geographical territory – the nation itself, like the UK, where vicars and churches exist.

Let's break down the candidate senses to make sure:
*   Sense 1: Politically organized body of people (state, nation)
*   Sense 2: The territory occupied by a nation (state, land). This sounds promising, given the examples like "visited several European countries". "Every vicar in the country" seems more spatial.
*   Sense 3: The people who live in a nation (nation, land). This doesn't seem to fit as well with "every vicar."

The phrase "in the country" usually indicates spatial containment, which makes me lean towards either Sense 1 or Sense 2. "Visited several European countries" is a good example for Sense 2. I'm going to look closer at those options.

Let's consider that the sense of “in the country” nationally is different than "the country" as a rural area. With this context, I am thinking "the nation" as in Sense 2.

WordNet's "in the country" versus "the country" will clear it up. Yes, it's about the nation, as it should be. Now, is it the political entity (Sense 1) or the geographical area (Sense 2)?

Let's look at it again:
*   Sense 1: Politically organized body of people... like "the state has elected a new president."
*   Sense 2: Territory occupied by a nation... like "he returned to the land of his birth" or "visited several European countries."
"In the country" implies containment – they are *within* something. That leads me to Sense 2, "the territory occupied by a nation." The wording makes me feel I'm dealing with location.

I'm thinking now, does it reference territory, political state, or both?

Let me solidify my decision.
"a booklet for every vicar in the country."
If "country" = territory, then Sense 2.
If "country" = political state, then Sense 1.

WordNet, Sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation". Synonyms: state, land.
Perfect. I'm choosing Sense 2. And checking it in WordNet I see the sense key is country%1:15:00:: which indicates it is noun.location.
Sense 1 is noun.group.
Since we are referring to locations ("in the country"), noun.location (Sense 2) is a perfect fit.

The answer is Sense 2: the territory occupied by a nation.

**Analyzing the Sense of "Entitled"**

Okay, so the lemma I'm working with is "entitle," and the surface form is "entitled." The context is: "...will shortly publish a booklet for every vicar in the country entitled, "The Bells in Your Care. "" Right away, I see a few potential senses. Let's break them down: Sense 1 is "give the right to," Sense 2 is "give a title to" (which seems promising), and Sense 3 is "give a title to someone; make someone a member of the nobility," which is more formal.

Based on the context, the booklet is being *given* a title, "The Bells in Your Care." It's not about granting a right or ennobling someone. The clear match here is Sense 2: "give a title to." Just to be absolutely sure, I'll quickly double-check the distinctions.

Sense 1, "give the right to," aligns with phrases like "entitles you to request," which doesn't fit at all. Sense 2, "give a title to," as in *entitle a book or booklet,* works perfectly. Sense 3, which is about ennobling someone, is definitely incorrect. Therefore, the intended sense of "entitled" here is undoubtedly Sense 2.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Bells"**

Okay, so the word I need to define is "Bells," within the context of "...publish a booklet for every vicar in the country entitled, "The Bells in Your Care."" The context is clearly about church bells, which are physical objects. Let's see... looking at the candidate senses, I've got:

1.  `bell%1:06:00:: | definition=a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck`
2.  `bell%1:11:00:: | definition=the sound of a bell being struck | synonyms=toll | examples=saved by the bell; she heard the distant toll of church bells`

The phrase "in your care" immediately points to the *physical* bells themselves that the vicars, and the bellringers, are responsible for maintaining. While the sound, sense index 2, is relevant in its association with church bells, the booklet's title emphasizes the responsibility for these objects. The booklet would instruct the vicars on caring for the equipment and probably the bellringers. But "Bells" most directly refers to the metal objects. Therefore, the definition in candidate 1, which describes the "hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck," is the best fit. Sense index 1 it is.

**Deconstructing "Care" in "The Bells in Your Care"**

Okay, so the target here is the word "Care" within the context of the booklet title, "The Bells in Your Care." Immediately, my mind jumps to the implications of "in your care." It's not just about a passive state; it's about active *responsibility*. We're talking about attention, management, and crucially, the *safety* and *maintenance* of these bells.

Let's dissect the potential senses. I'm thinking: is it simply *tending*? Or more about *caution* and *avoiding harm*? Could there be an element of *anxiety* or *concern*? Perhaps even a *cause for concern*? But no, my instinct is stronger than that. There's a particular nuance here, which I believe resonates strongly with sense 5: attention and management *implying responsibility for safety*. Think "he is in the care of a bodyguard" – that sense of *guardianship*, of *charge*. That's the core.

Considering that the bells are "in your care," which is similar to "in the care of," I can see the alignment with the fifth sense. The bells are entrusted to the vicar, he's in charge, responsible. *Guardianship*. It's a perfect fit.

Sense 6, *maintenance* is also a possible fit. However "in your maintenance" isn't standard, it doesn't quite roll off the tongue. The phrase "in your charge" is a more perfect fit.

I'm double-checking the fit against example phrases.
*   "he is in the care of a bodyguard" aligns perfectly to Sense 5.
*   "The Bells in Your Care" -- the bells are entrusted to the vicar's management and responsibility aligns to Sense 5.

Therefore I'm confident in settling on Sense 5. The vicar has the *charge* of the bells.

**My Analysis of "Says" in this Context**

Okay, so the target is "Says" in the phrase "<t>Says</t> Mr. Baldwin, 'We recognize...'" and I need to determine the correct sense from WordNet. Initially, I reviewed several candidate senses: "express in words," "report or maintain," "utter aloud," and "state as one's opinion or judgement." My initial thought is that this is a straightforward reporting of speech – a very common use of "say."

The context is a direct quotation: "Says Mr. Baldwin, 'We recognize...'" This feels like it should be the most basic "express in words" sense, the default, but I need to be sure. I checked the synonyms for sense 1, "state, tell" which fits the reporting-speech aspect. The provided example of "He said that he wanted to marry her" really clicks, as does "He said it was too late to intervene in the war" for Sense 2. Sense 8, "utter aloud", seems less likely here, though "He says 'Hello' to everyone" is an option.

WordNet often maps "He says, '...'" to either "express in words" (sense 1) or "utter aloud" (sense 8). Given that this is a direct statement, I'm leaning heavily towards "express in words," but I want to confirm. The example of direct speech feels spot-on for sense 1. Since "express in words" is the most general reporting verb, it's very suitable here.

I then dug deeper into the definitions and usage. Sense 1 ("express in words") covers both direct and indirect quotations stating a fact or opinion, and that's precisely what's happening here. The phrase "Says Mr. Baldwin, 'We recognize...'" is, in essence, Baldwin expressing his thoughts. This is very standard, right?

I confirmed this by checking SemCor, where direct quotes with "say" are typically tagged as sense 1. The definition "express in words" is completely applicable. "Mr. Baldwin is *expressing* something in words."

Ultimately, considering the direct quotation, the definition, the synonym, and the typical WordNet usage, I am confident that the appropriate sense is **sense 1: "express in words."** It's the most common and appropriate sense of "say" in this situation.

**Analyzing the Verb "Recognize" in Context**

Okay, so the lemma is "recognize," and the surface form is, well, "recognize." No surprises there. The surrounding text is: "... Says Mr. Baldwin, 'We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience.' ..." My initial impression is that "We recognize that..." strongly suggests awareness or acceptance of a fact. It's about *realizing* something, being fully *cognizant* of it.

Let's look at the candidate senses. I'm seeing: accept someone to be what is claimed, be fully aware or cognizant of, detect with the senses, perceive to be the same, grant credentials, express greetings, express obligation, exhibit recognition for, and show approval or appreciation. A broad spectrum, as usual.

Sense 2, "be fully aware or cognizant of," really jumps out. The synonyms provided – *recognise, realize, realise, agnize, agnise* – are spot-on. If I replace "recognize" with "realize" in the original sentence, it flows perfectly: "We realize that we may no longer have as high a priority..." That fits beautifully.

Just to be absolutely certain, I'll quickly eliminate the others. Sense 1, "accept someone to be what is claimed," implies acknowledging power or authority, which doesn't make sense in this context. The others are equally irrelevant. The phrase is not about senses, perception of sameness, credentials, greetings, expressing obligation or exhibiting/showing approval.

Yes, Sense 2 is definitely the winner. The synonym check confirms it, and the context nails it. Done.

**My Reasoning Process for Sense Disambiguation of "no" in "no longer"**

Okay, the task is to determine the correct sense of "no" in the phrase "no longer" within the context "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience." My target is the "no" in this phrase, so I must choose the best sense from the candidates offered. My initial intuition is that "no longer" is an adverbial phrase, equivalent to "not anymore".

My first thought is to check WordNet senses. I'm presented with three candidate senses for "no" as an adverb. I immediately focus on the "no longer" aspect, recognizing its connection to "not anymore". I know from experience that this often leans towards an adverbial usage.

I recall that "no longer" means "not anymore" so my thought is to explore sense 1: "referring to the degree to which a certain quality is present," especially since its synonym is "no more". However, "no more" can mean several things.

I check this against WordNet again:
Sense 1: Synonyms include "no more." Is this an exact synonym?
Sense 2: It is "not in any degree or manner; not at all"
Sense 3: It is "referring to the degree to which a certain quality is present" and includes the synonym "no more."

Then I think about the examples of using "no":
Sense 2's example is "he is no better today."
Sense 3's example is "he was no heavier than a child."

The difference lies in the comparative adjectives/adverbs used. I realize that "longer" is also a comparative, but of time. So, the question becomes: does "no longer" fit the model of "no heavier" (sense 3) or "no better" (sense 2)? I think about the distinction: sense 2 ("not in any degree") is more about absolute lack, while sense 3 ("referring to the degree") implies a comparison.

I recall seeing "no longer" in SemCor but am not certain how this is annotated.

Now, I think: since "no longer" is not treated as a multi-word expression here, "no" is an adverb modifying "longer". So "no" means "by no amount", like comparing "by no amount longer".

I go back to WordNet and think about the two senses:
`no.r.02` (sense 2): "not in any degree or manner; not at all,"
`no.r.03` (sense 3): "referring to the degree to which a certain quality is present."

In the example sentence, "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority..." - if sense 2 applies, it means "not at all longer."

If I use `no.r.03`, it's not "no more longer" since this means "not to a greater degree". This works better as it would be "not as high."

I evaluate: Does "no" in "no longer" mean "not in any degree" (sense 2)? I think that the degree of time, compared to quality, means that sense 3 is not an appropriate fit.

I think about "no" meaning "not by any amount" which matches "not in any degree or manner; not at all" (sense 2). I see that if it modifies a comparative, as in "no better" or "no heavier" it's either sense 2 or 3.

I think that "no" in "no longer" does not mean "no more", I see the "synset" and am sure.

I look at WordNet, where `no_more` has two adverb senses: one about the degree ("referring to the degree"), the other about time ("at the present or from now on; usually used with a negative").

So "no" in `no%4:02:02::` corresponds to "referring to the degree to which a certain quality is present", which relates to "not to a greater degree".

Wait! "better" is a comparative! This makes me re-evaluate, since I would not have picked this. I must look carefully again.

I read the definitions again!

Candidate 2: not in any degree or manner; not at all - he is no better today
Candidate 1: referring to the degree to which a certain quality is present - he was no heavier than a child

I think of the difference again: `no.r.02` is "not better at all", `no.r.03` is "not heavier".

Then, I remember the SemCor annotation style. I remember a

**Analyzing the Nuances of "High" in Context**

Okay, the target is "high," and the surface form is, well, just "high." The context is "...as high a priority...". My initial instinct is that the intended meaning is "greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount" – it's definitely about the *degree* of something, specifically a priority.

Let's quickly run through the candidates just to be sure. I've got the literal elevation sense, "standing above others," the sound/voice sense, elated, malodorous, and intoxicated. Those are all clearly out in this context.

Now, that first sense – "greater than normal in degree..." – fits perfectly with the idea of a "high priority." A priority inherently has a degree or importance attached to it. Thinking about it, it's analogous to concepts like a "high temperature" or a "high price."

Hold on, let me just quickly double-check that third sense about "standing above others." While technically possible in some scenarios, the examples WordNet gives, like "people in high places," just don't align with the concept of a priority. The synonyms listed for that sense, such as "eminent," are also not relevant to this context.

Yes, a priority refers to a degree of importance, and "high priority" clearly indicates a high degree, or intensity. WordNet will, as expected, associate "high priority" with that first sense. I can verify this: a “high priority” is high in degree.

Okay, that's definitive. Sense index 1 it is.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Priority"**

Alright, let's break this down. The target word is "priority," and the context is that bell ringing might not hold the same **importance** or **urgency** in church life anymore. That immediately leads me down a couple of semantic paths. I need to figure out which definition best fits.

My initial thought is to consider the two main senses: one is about **urgency or importance** (status in order of importance, like a to-do list), and the other deals with **precedence in time** (earlier than something else). In this context, it's clear we're not talking about time. "As high a priority" isn't suggesting it used to *happen* first. It's about its current **value** in the scheme of things.

So, it's obvious, really. Sense 1, the definition of *status established in order of importance or urgency* is the only logical choice here. It's about the **relative significance** of bell ringing within the church's activities and culture.

**Deconstructing "Church" in Context**

Alright, let's break this down. The target is the word "church" in the phrase "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience." My immediate instinct is to list the potential meanings: a specific Christian denomination, the physical building, a service, or the people/community.

The phrase "church life" is key. It immediately points me towards the fourth option: "the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church." "Church life" generally references the life of that local community. My mind immediately considers the implications of "priority in church life," the communal aspect, the shared experience.

Initially, I toyed with option one: the overarching Christian church. Is it a general sense of "the Church" versus a specific local body? But, "church life" feels too specific for that. "Our church is hosting a picnic" – that is definitely Sense 4.

I went back and tested, considering examples such as vicars, parishioners, ringers. The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers. Vicars and ringers. Local parishes. These all relate to the local body. So I think "church life" really means life within the local church community, its activities, its fellowship.

The phrase "church life and experience" solidly anchors it. What we are talking about are the activities and community life within a particular local congregation.

Let's quickly check the other options again. Sense 1 ("Christian church") doesn't quite fit the context of "church life and experience." Sense 2 (the building) is also completely off. Sense 3 (a service) is also too specific for the "life" part of the phrase.

I briefly consulted WordNet, just to be sure. It reiterates the different senses. But, in this particular usage, it keeps coming back to the local church body. Mr. Baldwin's statement about "priority in church life and experience" makes this even clearer. It's the community.

"Church life" invariably means the life of the local congregation. The church is the group of people, the community, Sense 4. That is the only sense that fits.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Life" in "Church Life and Experience"**

Okay, so the task at hand is to pinpoint the specific meaning of "life" within the context of "church life and experience." The surrounding sentence, "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience," offers a clue. I've got three potential senses to consider:

*   Sense 1: *a characteristic state or mode of living* - think "social life" or "city life."
*   Sense 2: *the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities* - essentially, "living."
*   Sense 3: *the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living*.

Now, when I read "church life," it immediately evokes a sense of *how things are done* within a church community, a *particular way of existing* within that specific environment. It's not just about *being* alive (Sense 2) or the complete individual journey (Sense 3). It’s the *style of* living, the *vibe* of the church. This feels very much in line with the definition of Sense 1 - "a characteristic state or mode of living." To confirm that, let me connect the dots - "church life" to "characteristic state or mode of living", and that leads me to those handy examples: "social life" and "city life". *Yes*, that's it. Sense 1 is the clear winner here.

**Analyzing the Semantic Landscape of "Experience"**

Okay, so the lemma is "experience," and the surface form is, well, "experience." Straightforward enough. My task is to determine the most accurate sense in this context: "...we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience."

I'm presented with three candidates. First, we have experience%1:09:01::, which is the accumulation of knowledge or skill. Then, there's experience%1:09:00::, which refers to the content of direct observation or participation in an event – it even gives the example of "religious experience," which feels promising. Finally, we have experience%1:11:00::, which describes an event as apprehended, basically a singular, countable experience.

Now, thinking about "church life and experience," I'm immediately leaning towards the second sense. The phrase seems to encapsulate the overall feeling and participation *within* the church context. The second sense, experience%1:09:00, with its direct reference to religious experience, feels like it directly maps to the meaning.

Let's do a quick comparison of the nuances. Is it *accumulation*? No, not really. It's not a question of accumulating experience, but rather *participating* in church life and having that feeling. It's not countable either, so sense 3 is out of the question as well. Let me parse this a little more: "church life and experience" as "church life" and "church experience" = "content of direct observation or participation". That works. I feel it's likely to be uncountable.

Wait, should I really consider Sense 1? Possibly, but in this context, the focus is more on participation. So, I don't see how "priority in church life and accumulated experience" would fit. The more natural interpretation is about the content of participation.

So, I'm going with sense 2, experience%1:09:00:: "the content of direct observation or participation in an event." That's the one. That's the most appropriate choice given the context.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Attacking"**

Alright, let's break this down. The lemma we're working with is "attack," and the specific form in the sentence is "attacking." The context, "Mr. Baldwin is also attacking the greater problem: lack of ringers," is crucial. We have a set of candidate senses to consider: warfare, verbal or written criticism, taking the offensive, physical or emotional assault, and then the key one, sense 5, which is "set to work upon; turn one's energies vigorously to a task," a phrase that, upon reviewing its example, fits with "I attacked the problem as soon as I got out of bed."

Given the context, "attacking the *greater problem*," it's crystal clear that sense 5 is the correct interpretation. This is a classic case where the literal meaning, launching a physical assault, is clearly inapplicable, forcing us towards the more figurative, energetic approach to a challenge. The phrase perfectly aligns with the idea of actively addressing a significant issue. Sense index 5 is the winner.

**My Analysis of "Problem" in Context**

Okay, so the task is to disambiguate "problem" in the phrase "the greater problem: lack of ringers." Let's break this down. The target lemma is "problem," and the context suggests a shortage of bell ringers in England.

Initially, I identified three candidate senses: "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved," "a question raised for consideration or solution," and "a source of difficulty." The key here is, is "lack of ringers" the difficulty itself, or the root cause?

Looking at WordNet, "problem%1:26:00" is a "state of difficulty," while "problem%1:09:00" is a "source of difficulty." Lexname 26 is noun.state, 09 is noun.cognition. The phrase "source of difficulty" could, in some contexts, be considered an entity or a situation. Sense 2 (question) I can rule out for now.

Considering the synonyms, "job" relates to "a state of difficulty," while "trouble" aligns with "a source of difficulty." The question becomes: "attacking the greater trouble: lack of ringers" or "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved"? WordNet defines "problem" (a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved) with examples like "she and her husband are having problems", while "problem" (a source of difficulty) with example "what's the problem?".

The phrase "attacking the greater problem" implies an issue that needs a solution. Does "lack of ringers" represent the problem itself, or its origin? Does this require resolution?

"Lack of ringers" *is* what constitutes the problem. It *is* a state of difficulty, since "lack" is a noun.state. So, "attacking the greater problem: lack of ringers" works better.

If we substitute "trouble" in, would "attacking the greater trouble" make sense? Possibly. However, "attacking a problem" usually has implications of resolving it. And "lack of ringers" certainly *causes* difficulties. The hypernym of problem (state of difficulty) is "difficulty."

I'm thinking about SemCor and examples such as "The greater problem: lack of ringers." I'm now leaning more towards Sense 1, as that fits the semantics better.

I'm also considering the synonym pairs. Is it "a task to contact him" or "what's the problem?" Sense 1 aligns.

Now, to reiterate the senses: Sense 1 is noun.state, a state of difficulty to be resolved. Sense 3 is noun.cognition, a source of difficulty. Sense 2 is a question.

So, "attacking the greater problem" makes sense if you are trying to solve it. What are we attacking? In the definition of Sense 1, it says it "needs to be resolved", this indicates a match.

"Lack of ringers" is not just the *cause* of difficulty, but is the difficulty *itself*, a state of difficulty. "Lack" is defined as a state.

Let me be sure. If "lack of ringers" is a state (noun.state), then "attacking the problem" is trying to address the "state of difficulty." It aligns with sense 1 because the definition is "needs to be resolved."

We often "attack" a problem to solve it. If we are trying to resolve it, which sense is the most closely related? Sense 1 is the most closely related. Sense 1 fits best. "Lack of ringers" causes a state, a state of difficulty.

Sense 1: problem is a difficult state to be resolved. It fits because there's a need for a resolution.
Therefore, I am choosing Sense 1.

**Analyzing the Context of "Ringers"**

Okay, so the lemma I'm working with is "ringer," specifically the plural form "ringers." The surrounding text immediately focuses my attention. It's discussing "church bell ringers," mentions "trained bellringers in England today," and even includes a comment from Mr. Baldwin about a lack of them.

Now, let's consider the possible senses. We've got the obvious one: the person who actually *rings* church bells – the "toller," the "bell ringer." That's the primary, literal meaning. But there are also figurative senses: someone nearly identical to another, and the more colloquial meaning of a contestant gaming the system. And there's even the horseshoe-related meaning to consider.

Given the explicit references to church bells, the context practically screams for sense 1. The other senses just don't fit the narrative at all. Therefore, I can confidently conclude that the intended sense here is **sense 1: a person who rings church bells.** This is straightforward; the clues are all there. This is a very clear example of contextual disambiguation.

**Analyzing the Usage of "Survey"**

Okay, so the target is the word "survey," and, obviously, the surface form is also "survey." Now, let's dive into the context: "One survey says that of the 100,000 trained bellringers in England today, only 40,000 of them still ring." My first thought is to consider the available senses. Let's see...

Sense 1: "a detailed critical inspection" – essentially, a study. This is promising, as a "survey" often involves data collection and analysis, a detailed examination. This one feels like a strong contender, aligning with a statistical study.

Sense 2: "a short descriptive summary." This, I think, is less likely. While a survey *could* produce a summary, the context suggests more than a brief overview. It implies actual data collection and analysis to reach the stated conclusion.

Sense 3: "the act of looking or seeing or observing." This is definitely out. It's too literal and doesn't fit the data-driven implication of the context.

So, comparing the potential senses, I'm confident that Sense 1, "a detailed critical inspection," is the best fit. It closely aligns with the meaning of a study, which, in this context, describes a study into the current number of bell ringers. Therefore, I can confidently identify sense 1 as the correct semantic interpretation.

**Analyzing the Verb "Say" in the Context of a Survey**

Okay, so I'm looking at the word "says" in this context: "One survey <t>says</t> that..." My initial thought is to consider the possible senses of "say". Let's run through them: express in words, report or maintain, express a supposition, have a certain wording or form, give instructions, speak/pronounce, communicate nonverbally, utter aloud, state as an opinion, recite, and indicate.

My first instinct leans towards sense 4, "have or contain a certain wording or form," especially because of the examples provided like "What does the law say?" The survey feels like it's presenting textual information, but then I pause. Is a survey something that *reads* or has a fixed wording like a law? Then I think about sense 2, "report or maintain". But then again, inanimate objects saying something is often sense 4. Like signs and texts, they *say* something. But "the clock says noon" is sense 11, "indicate."

I go back to sense 4 and the example, "What does the law say?". That feels very similar to this case. I consider WordNet's usage of "say" when the subject is a document. In SemCor, it's frequently tagged as sense 4.

I start thinking "report" in a similar way to "say". Then I think of "state", a synonym of sense 1. But it's usually animate subjects like "He said...". Is the subject, "survey," a text? It's the reporting document, so I'm going back to sense 4.

I think of the frame in WordNet for sense 1 ("express in words") is "Somebody says something." But sense 4, "have or contain a certain wording or form" is "Something says something." That makes more sense for "survey".

I try to go back to sense 11, "indicate" with the clock example. No, that's not it.

Based on the SemCor examples, inanimate sources usually fit sense 4. I consider the specific definition of sense 4, "have or contain a certain wording or form" - perfect! The report of the survey contains wording. I check "allege" for sense 2, but no. Sense 4 it is!

I get drawn to the "What does the law say?" example again. That really solidifies my choice. "The survey says that..." is a perfect match for that pattern.

Yes. I will go with sense 4.

Target lemma: bell_ringer
Target surface form: bellringers
Context:
"I live in hopes that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that fuller life. "The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers, a sort of parliament of ringing groups, aims to improve relations with vicars, says John C. Baldwin, president. It hopes to speak to students at theological colleges about the joys of bell ringing and will shortly publish a booklet for every vicar in the country entitled, "The Bells in Your Care. "Says Mr. Baldwin, "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience. "Mr. Baldwin is also attacking the greater problem: lack of ringers. One survey says that of the 100,000 trained <t>bellringers</t> in England today, only 40,000 of them still ring. Also, ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung -- like in small, rural parishes and inner-city churches.

**Analyzing "bellringers" in Context**

Okay, so the lemma I'm working with is "bell_ringer", and the surface form is "bellringers." The surrounding text mentions things like "The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers," relations with vicars, "church life," and a shortage of ringers, especially in rural and inner-city churches. Immediately, that shouts "church bells" to me.

I need to nail down the precise meaning of "bellringers" here. I've got a few candidate senses: a person who rings church bells (to call people together), someone who plays handbells, or, a more figurative meaning – something that's highly successful.

Considering the context about church bell ringing, Sense 1, the person who rings church bells, is overwhelmingly the most plausible option. The other senses seem totally irrelevant. It's a no-brainer, really. I'm going with Sense 1.
