**Analyzing the Semantics of "Means"**

Okay, so I'm looking at the word "means" in this context: "Cerenia is an anti-emetic, this means that it stops vomiting." My initial thought is to run through the senses of "means" in my mind. We have senses like "intend," "have as a logical consequence," "denote or connote," "have in mind as a purpose," and so on.

The key here is the phrase "this means that..." What does "this" refer to? It's either "Cerenia is an anti-emetic" (the fact) or the *word* "anti-emetic". The meaning of "anti-emetic" is "that it stops vomiting", so what sense is appropriate? I immediately consider sense 2, "have as a logical consequence," because of the wording.

Now, I'm thinking, does "this means that..." typically represent "imply" or "signify"? We can have a sentence such as "the water shortage *means* that we have to stop taking long showers" to represent sense 2. However, sense 3 (denote or connote) also seems reasonable, such as in "maison *means* house in French" with the same structure.

To clarify, I need to check the typical verb frames. Sense 2 (entail/imply/mean) is "Something ----s that CLAUSE" and sense 3 (signify/denote/connote) is "Something ----s something". Let me check WordNet. Yes, in WordNet, the frame "Something ----s that CLAUSE" is indeed associated with Sense 2, "have as a logical consequence."

Does "anti-emetic" *logically entail* that it stops vomiting? Yes, by definition, an anti-emetic *is* something that stops vomiting. Therefore, Sense 2 is the better fit. The meaning is "Cerenia being an anti-emetic *implies* that it stops vomiting". The "this" in this case would refer to the fact that Cerenia is an anti-emetic. Even if it loosely defines "anti-emetic", the structure of "this means that..." best aligns with the logical consequence definition.

Therefore, since sense 3 does *not* have the frame "Something ----s that CLAUSE," it's clear: syntactically and semantically, the sentence is best interpreted as Sense 2. "This means that..." translates to "this implies/entails that..." and thus "have as a logical consequence" is the correct interpretation.

**Analyzing the Senses of "Stops" in a Medical Context**

Okay, so the target word is "stops" in the context of "Cerenia stops vomiting." My initial task is to identify the correct sense of "stops" in this sentence. I've got to consider all the possibilities that WordNet presents.

First, I see several candidate senses, but I need to weed through them. Sense 1 is about a physical halt, sense 2 is about ending an activity, sense 3 is about preventing something from happening, and sense 7 has the idea of holding something back. The question is, which one fits the context of an anti-emetic?

Sense 3 immediately grabs my attention: "stop from happening or developing." The synonyms listed—halt, block, kibosh—are particularly relevant here because they suggest an active prevention. This aligns perfectly with the idea of a drug that prevents a process, and the sentence clearly states that Cerenia is preventing vomiting.

Now, let's contrast this with Sense 2, which seems to imply that someone is ceasing an action; it's about ending an activity, or *putting an end* to a state. It's about an agent ending something. However, the next sentence in the text is quite a giveaway, it says that the drug is used *to prevent vomiting*. This is key, because it explicitly states the intent is about prevention, making sense 3 the better fit.

Let's do a quick WordNet check for "prevent." The hypernym of "prevent" should reveal a connection that supports sense 3; it is "stop". Examining WordNet, sense 3 is "stop from happening or developing." This reinforces my growing suspicion.

Also I'll check stop%2:41:00:: and stop%2:42:00: in WordNet: I see that there are different frames, that apply better for the particular senses. For instance, stop%2:42:00:: "put an end to a state or an activity" requires an agent or an action being ceased. Cerenia doesn't fit that frame. However stop%2:41:00::: "it stops vomiting" -> "it stops vomiting from happening / developing". Cerenia blocks vomiting / halts vomiting.

So, is vomiting an event/occurrence? Yes, it is. The synset for Sense 3 also suggests that this is the best sense to apply; halt, block, kibosh, stop -- stop from happening or developing. Therefore, with all that in mind, the best match is: "stops vomiting" = "stop from happening or developing." The clear implication is that Cerenia *prevents* vomiting. Sense 3, "stop from happening or developing," is the appropriate sense.

**Analyzing the Semantic Landscape of "Used"**

Okay, so the task is to pinpoint the most accurate sense of "used" in the phrase "It is used in dogs to prevent vomiting..." Right away, I see this as a straightforward application of lexical semantics, and I need to methodically break it down.

My initial step is to consider all the potential meanings. The provided list gives me a good starting point. I'm looking at several senses: employing something for a purpose, habitual consumption, exhausting a resource, exploiting for advantage, and applying a skill. Each sense has its own nuances, and my task is to isolate the one that best fits this specific context.

My immediate thought is that sense 1, "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose," is likely the correct one. The synonyms provided, "utilize, utilise, apply, employ," immediately resonate. Cerenia, the drug, is being **applied** to a particular task – preventing vomiting in dogs. This feels like the most natural fit.

I then move on to test this initial hypothesis and assess the others. Sense 2, "take or consume (regularly or habitually)," immediately raises a red flag. The context strongly implies that Cerenia is being *administered*, not *consumed* (at least, not by the subject of the sentence, the dog itself). The example provided in this sense ("She uses drugs rarely") further reinforces this mismatch.

The remaining senses seem even less relevant. Exhausting a resource, exploiting an advantage, or applying a skill don’t align at all with the scenario.

Therefore, after this examination, I'm confident that sense 1 is the best fit. Cerenia is being **employed** or **utilized** as a tool or treatment to achieve a desired outcome – the prevention of vomiting.

Okay, here's my interpretation of that thought process, tailored for an expert audience:

**Analyzing "Dogs" in a Veterinary Context**

Alright, let's break this down. The target word is "dogs," and it's embedded within a sentence about preventing vomiting, specifically in the context of chemotherapy. My mind immediately starts sifting through the possible senses. We're obviously in a medical or veterinary scenario, given the mention of vomiting and chemotherapy.

I automatically dismiss the more figurative senses – the unattractive woman, the cad, the slang for a man. Those are out of the running right away. "Hotdog" and its variations are also irrelevant. I even mentally check for the more obscure technical meanings of "dogs" like pawls or andirons, just to be sure, but those are completely incompatible with the medical context.

It's clear, given the explicit reference to veterinary treatment and the mention of vomiting – especially induced by chemotherapy – that we're talking about *Canis familiaris*. The domestic dog. Sense 1 is the definitive match. We're dealing with a common animal, which is the subject of veterinary care. This has to be the correct sense.

**Analyzing the Target Word "Prevent"**

Okay, so the target is "prevent" in the context of preventing vomiting in dogs. My initial thought process immediately goes to disambiguation. I know "prevent" has multiple senses, and I need to select the right one based on the specific usage here.

Let's break this down. The base form is clearly "prevent". The sentence is "It is used in dogs to prevent vomiting..." so I need to analyze the surrounding grammar and the semantics. I've got two candidate senses to consider. The first, sense 1, is about keeping something from happening or arising; making it impossible. The second, sense 2, focuses on stopping someone or something from doing something or being in a state.

I'm looking closely at how "prevent" is used with "vomiting". The phrase is "to prevent vomiting". It's a noun phrase or a gerundial noun, "vomiting", which represents an *event* or a state. My expert intuition screams that it's about *keeping the event of vomiting from happening*.

So, if I apply sense 1, I get: "keep from happening or arising; make impossible" – which fits perfectly. "Prevent vomiting" means keeping vomiting from happening. Sense 2, while grammatically possible, doesn't feel right. It implies stopping something that *is* happening, rather than preventing the occurrence in the first place. My knowledge of the field tells me that we are referring to the *prevention* of vomiting in the first place, thus sense 1 is more accurate.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Caused"**

Okay, so the word I need to understand is "caused," specifically in the phrase "vomiting caused by chemotherapy." Let's break this down. The goal is to determine the most accurate meaning (or "sense") of "caused" in this context.

I have two candidate senses to consider. The first, represented by `cause%2:36:00::`, defines "cause" as "give rise to; cause to happen or occur," essentially meaning to bring something about, not always intentionally. Examples include "cause a commotion" or "make a stir."

The second, `cause%2:32:00::`, defines "cause" as "cause to do; cause to act in a specified manner." This one seems to imply an agent, someone *being caused* to do something. Synonyms include "induce," "stimulate," "make."  Think of phrases like "The ads induced me to buy a VCR" or "My children finally got me to buy a computer."

Now, back to the target phrase: "vomiting caused by chemotherapy."  Here, "vomiting" is an event, an occurrence. Chemotherapy, in this case, is the agent or process that is bringing about this event. Given this, it becomes immediately apparent that the first sense, the "give rise to" sense, is the correct one. The chemotherapy is *giving rise to* the vomiting; it's *causing* it to happen. The second sense, which implies someone is being made to *do* something, doesn't fit the context at all.

Okay, here's my breakdown of this.

**Determining the Correct Sense of "medicines"**

Right, the target word is "medicines," and the context is quite clear: it's about "chemotherapy" and its use in treating cancer, specifically focusing on its side effects like vomiting. My brain immediately goes through the possible senses in my semantic network. We've got:

1.  *medicine%1:09:00::* - The field of medical science. Not this one, too broad. The context is about a specific treatment, not the entire field.
2.  *medicine%1:06:00::* - This is the "medication" sense. "Medicament, medicinal drug" – this feels right, it's about drugs used for treatment, which chemotherapy *is*. This is a strong contender.
3.  *medicine%1:04:00::* - The practice or profession of medicine. Definitely not applicable here. We're not talking about doctors; we are talking about medicines/drugs themselves.
4.  *medicine%1:04:02::* - This is a figurative sense, meaning "punishment." This is just totally off. No, this can't be it.

The context states "chemotherapy (medicines used for the treatment of cancer...)". Chemotherapy *is* the use of drugs or medications to fight cancer. Therefore, sense 2, the sense of "medication, medicament, medicinal drug," is undeniably the correct one. The context directly points to the drugs used in the treatment. It's a textbook example of sense disambiguation.

**Analyzing the Verb "Used" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "used" and the surrounding text is about chemotherapy drugs: "medicines *used* for the treatment of cancer..." My task is to determine the most accurate sense of "used" here, drawing from the provided candidate senses.

Let's look at the options. Sense 1, "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose," immediately jumps out. The context is about medicines being *employed* to treat cancer. Sense 2, "take or consume (regularly or habitually)," initially feels wrong, like "She *uses* drugs." That doesn't feel right for "medicines *used* for treatment." I have to be careful as I can see how *habitually* could fit, but only in the context of "using" the medicine itself. Here, the medicines are *applied* to something else (cancer).

Sense 3, "use up, consume fully," is even further off. Sense 4, "seek or achieve an end by using to one's advantage," and Sense 5 "avail oneself to", and Sense 6, "habitually do something", also don't seem like good fits here, although Sense 5 is close to Sense 1 and is similar in meaning to "apply". Sense 6 is also similar to Sense 2.

Considering the phrasing: "medicines *used* for the treatment..." The passive voice indicates *employment* or *application* of the medicines. The key here is that the medicines are *being employed* by clinicians, or taken by patients, for a specific purpose. This strongly aligns with Sense 1: "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose." They are *utilized* to treat cancer. Yes, Sense 1 is the best fit. I'm confident in that interpretation.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Treatment"**

Okay, let's break this down. The key term is "treatment," specifically in the phrase "medicines used for the treatment of cancer, some of which are known to cause vomiting." My initial task is to pin down the precise meaning of "treatment" here. I'm presented with a few potential senses: care provided to improve a situation (medical context), general management, artistic handling, and extended communication.

Given the phrase "treatment of cancer," the choice is pretty obvious, actually. Sense 1, "care provided to improve a situation," is the perfect fit. We're talking about medical interventions, procedures, and applications aimed at relieving the illness of cancer. The connection is quite direct and medical. The management, artistic and communication senses just don't fit the sentence and word use.

Therefore, my final determination is that the correct sense index is 1. We are dealing with medical treatment.

**My Analysis of "Cancer" in Context**

Alright, let's break this down. The target word is "cancer," and the surrounding text mentions chemotherapy used in its treatment. My immediate thought is, given this medical context, the relevant meaning is most likely going to be the disease itself – the malignant growth, the uncontrolled cell division. That's the primary association here, so let's rule out the astronomical, astrological, or zoological senses.

Now, let me look at the candidate senses more closely. I see five options: a disease, an astrological person, a zodiacal constellation, a zodiacal sign, and a type genus of the Cancridae family.

Sense 1 nails it: it's the malignant neoplastic disease, the definition perfectly aligns with a treatment context. The other senses are clearly irrelevant here. Thus, I'm confident that the correct sense index is 1. We've got a match!

**Analyzing the Semantic Landscape of "Cause"**

Okay, so the word I need to nail down is "cause," specifically in the context of "medicines...known to cause vomiting." My initial step is to pull up the candidate senses from the lexicon. I have two strong contenders.

Sense 1, let's call it the *event-oriented sense*, defines "cause" as "give rise to; cause to happen or occur," which fits perfectly with an event or action. Synonyms like "do" and "make" reinforce this. Example sentences drive the point home; "cause a commotion" is a good parallel.

Sense 2 is the *agent-oriented sense*, framing "cause" as "cause to do; cause to act in a specified manner." This one leans towards inducement or stimulation, generally involving an agent. This sense typically has an infinitive or another verb following it; "The ads induced *me* to buy a VCR". My instinct is that this is the wrong fit.

When I look at the target sentence, "some of which are known to cause vomiting," it's clear. "Vomiting" is a noun, an event/action/occurrence. It's not something that *does* something. The medicine doesn't cause vomiting *to do* something else. It *makes* vomiting happen. Therefore, the *event-oriented* sense of "cause" (Sense 1) is the one to select. It's a clear-cut case.

**Analyzing the Semantic Landscape of "Measures"**

Okay, so the target word is "measures," specifically within the context of "supportive measures such as other veterinary treatment or a special diet." My initial task is to sift through the potential senses and find the most accurate fit. Let's break down the candidates. We have a list ranging from the abstract – like "any maneuver made as part of progress toward a goal," all the way to more concrete definitions like "container of standard capacity" or even musical notations.

Immediately, the phrase "supportive measures" really steers my thinking. It inherently implies actions taken with the intention of achieving a specific outcome – in this case, supporting the animal's well-being. Thinking about veterinary treatment and diet, both of these are actions, steps, or maneuvers. Thus, sense 1, "any maneuver made as part of progress toward a goal," is the most likely candidate. It encapsulates the idea of actions taken to achieve a desired outcome; a *step* toward wellness. The other senses seem less relevant and too far removed from the core concept of supportive *actions*. Therefore, I'm fairly confident that sense index 1 is the most appropriate.

**Analyzing the Context of "Other"**

Okay, let's break this down. The target word is "other," and the context is quite specific: "...In combination with supportive measures such as <t>other</t> veterinary treatment or a special diet, Cerenia can also be used in the treatment of vomiting..."

My immediate task is to identify the correct sense of "other." I have a few candidates to consider: the standard "different" meaning, something related to the past, and something that implies strangeness or unusualness.

Looking at the example, I'm thinking about "supportive measures." The phrase clearly suggests that "other veterinary treatment" and "a special diet" are *in addition* to something else, likely the primary treatment – Cerenia, in this case. They are *distinct* treatments. They are not the same, but additional.

The phrasing leads me squarely to the first sense I was given: "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied." This fits perfectly. It's essentially the straightforward, most common meaning of "other" in this context. The "other" treatments are separate and distinct from the Cerenia treatment. The past-tense senses are non-sensical, and the "strange" sense seems completely inapplicable. Sense 1 is the obvious and correct choice.

Okay, so the word I need to nail down is "treatment," specifically in this veterinary context: "In combination with supportive measures such as other veterinary <t>treatment</t> or a special diet, Cerenia can also be used in the treatment of vomiting..." Right, let's break down the potential senses. I'm given four, and as an expert, I'm already mentally sifting through them.

Sense 1, "care provided to improve a situation, especially medical procedures or applications intended to relieve illness or injury," – that feels immediately promising. The synonyms, "intervention," are also ringing true. This describes the core function of veterinary care perfectly.

Sense 2, "the management of someone or something," that could work in a very broad sense, but doesn't quite capture the medical specificity we need here. "Handling" is a synonym. It feels too general.

Sense 3, "a manner of dealing with something artistically," completely wrong. This is about art, not veterinary medicine. Dismissed.

Sense 4, "an extended communication (often interactive) dealing with some particular topic," no. This is a veterinary practice and not a discussion. I am immediately ignoring this.

Given the phrase "veterinary treatment," and the mention of relieving vomiting, Sense 1 is the obvious and definitive winner. It aligns perfectly with the intent: providing medical care to improve the animal's health. Therefore, the correct sense index is 1. Done.

**Analyzing the Word "Special" in Context**

Okay, so I need to pinpoint the correct WordNet sense for "special" in that sentence about Cerenia and a "special diet." Let's break this down systematically. I know the nuances of word senses, so let's weigh each option carefully, considering the context of veterinary medicine and treatment.

I'm presented with seven senses: unique, for a special occasion, surpassing what is common, adapted for a specific purpose, having a specific function, first and most important, and added to a regular schedule. The context is "a *special* diet" in conjunction with treatment for vomiting.

My initial thought is that a "special diet" is tailored to a specific need. So, let's explore that.

*   Sense 1, "unique," doesn't quite fit. The diet isn't unique in the sense of one-of-a-kind, is it?
*   Sense 2, "for a special service or occasion," is definitely off. It's not a service or event.
*   Sense 3, "surpassing what is common," feels a little vague. It's not about being *better*, it's about being *different*.
*   Sense 4, "adapted to or reserved for a particular purpose," is definitely a contender. The examples given, like "a special medication," strongly resonate with the context of a diet designed to help manage a veterinary condition, like vomiting. This is my top pick right now.
*   Sense 5, "having a specific function or scope," is interesting, but I feel like it's a bit more generic. While the diet does have a function, "adapted for a specific purpose" is clearer and more fitting.
*   Sense 6, "first and most important," is definitely not a good fit.
*   Sense 7, "added to a regular schedule," does not fit.

Now, let's go back and make sure. Sense 4 is, again, my top pick. It matches the idea that a special diet is modified to aid the vomiting condition. I'm going with sense index 4, the definition of "adapted to or reserved for a particular purpose." It fits perfectly.

**Analyzing the Semantic Sense of "Diet"**

Okay, so I need to nail down the precise meaning of "diet" in this veterinary context: "...special diet, Cerenia can also be used in the treatment of vomiting..." Right, let's look at the candidates. Sense 1, a "prescribed selection of foods," definitely resonates. It's the go-to when we're talking about medical intervention, like in veterinary care. Sense 2, the legislative assembly, is clearly out. Sense 3, the "usual food and drink," feels too broad, not specific enough for a supportive treatment. Sense 4, the act of "restricting food intake," is also likely incorrect; we're talking about *a* special diet, not the *act* of dieting, in this context.

"Special diet" as a supporting measure in veterinary treatment clearly points towards Sense 1: a medically tailored food plan. I'll double-check WordNet 3.0 just to be absolutely sure. Yep, the definitions align perfectly. It's unequivocally Sense 1, "a prescribed selection of foods," that we're dealing with here. Got it.

**Analyzing the Usage of "Used" in Context**

Okay, so I'm presented with the word "used" within the sentence: "In combination with supportive measures such as other veterinary treatment or a special diet, Cerenia can also be <t>used</t> in the treatment of vomiting (either as injection or as injection followed by tablets)." My goal is to determine the most accurate sense of "used" in this specific context. I'm given several potential senses for the lemma "use," and I need to evaluate each against the surrounding text.

First, I examine the potential senses. I've got: "put into service," "take or consume regularly," "use up," "seek or achieve an end by using to one's advantage," "avail oneself to," and "habitually do something (past tense)."

I want to see if sense 1, "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose," fits here. The sentence reads, "Cerenia can also be used in the treatment of vomiting." Let's contrast this with Sense 2, which is "take or consume (regularly or habitually)," and synonyms for it are habituate, which is not what we want. The provided example is something like, "She uses drugs rarely". The second sense is either intransitive or has to do with drug abuse/habituation, which is clearly not right in this veterinary context.

So, let's substitute "employ" or "utilize" for "used" in the original sentence. "Cerenia can also be employed/utilized in the treatment of vomiting." This substitution makes perfect sense, indicating that Cerenia is being employed or utilized *for* a specific purpose. It's about putting it to work or employing it as a treatment. This aligns perfectly with sense 1.

The other senses don't make much sense in this context. "Consuming" or "habitually doing" something makes no sense.

Therefore, the best sense is definitely sense 1: "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose." It fits the context perfectly!

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Treatment" in a Veterinary Context**

Okay, so the target is the word "treatment" within the phrase "Cerenia can also be used in the *treatment* of vomiting." My task here is to determine the correct sense of "treatment" in this veterinary medicine context. Let's see...

I have a few candidate senses to consider. The first one, treatment%1:04:00::, immediately jumps out. It describes "care provided to improve a situation, especially medical procedures or applications that are intended to relieve illness or injury." That seems like a solid fit, right? We're talking about Cerenia, an anti-emetic, a medication designed to address the medical issue of vomiting in dogs. This sense describes medical procedures aimed at relieving illness or injury and thus fits the context here.

The second sense, treatment%1:04:01::, refers to general "management." That's possible, but less precise in this context. While administering Cerenia does involve managing the animal's condition, the *focus* is on the medical intervention.

Then, there are the artistic and communicative senses, treatment%1:07:00:: and treatment%1:10:00::. Those are clearly not relevant here. We're talking about a medicinal application, not an artistic interpretation or an extended communication.

So, yeah, sense 1 is the clear winner: the medical, therapeutic sense. It's the "care provided to improve a situation," in this case, Cerenia's role in alleviating vomiting in dogs. Thus, the index is 1.

**Disambiguating "Injection" in the Context of Veterinary Treatment**

Okay, here's the deal. I'm looking at the word "injection" and trying to figure out if it means the stuff you inject or the act of injecting it. The context is "Cerenia can also be used in the treatment of vomiting (either as injection or as injection followed by tablets)." Initially, I considered the solution itself (injectant) or the act of administration, but the phrase "followed by tablets" throws a wrench in the injectant interpretation because tablets are physical objects and not related to "injectant". The contrasting phrase, "as injection or as tablets" is more relevant to dosage forms than injecting.

I then considered whether "injection" is a count noun or a mass noun here. The way it's phrased, it might be shortened "as injection" for a form of administration. Is it just referring to the liquid or the act of giving a shot? I re-read the possible definitions in WordNet: one is the liquid, "any solution that is injected," and the other is the action, "the act of putting a liquid into the body by means of a syringe," with "shot" as a synonym. The phrase "either as injection or as injection followed by tablets" suggests a connection to the act since a tablet follows it. The EPAR summary for Cerenia states "solution for injection" and "tablets", suggesting that "injection" might be an abbreviation or a route. The clinical protocol, in fact, does show a regimen of "injection followed by tablets"

The phrase "injection followed by tablets" is very revealing, as it is difficult to interpret it as the injectant. The first use is more likely the act, and the second is the tablet form. An act *can* be followed by tablets, not an injectant. If the injection here means "shot", what's "a shot followed by tablets"? The text says, "Cerenia can be given either as injection (under the skin)", so the mode of administration is clear. I see that "injection (under the skin)" equals "subcutaneous injection" - this is an *act*, as WordNet confirms. The WordNet entry for the injectant sense of "injection" *literally* says "(as into the skin)." Is the "injection" here referring to the injectable solution or the act?

Reading other documentation, I see that the same source states "Cerenia is also available as a solution for injection." In the clinical treatment procedure, it's clear: "If Cerenia is used to treat vomiting in dogs, the injection may be used first, followed by the tablets once daily." In the procedure, the *injection* is a *shot* and then *tablets* are given. It’s a pharmaceutical dosage form. It's either the "solution" (Sense 2) or the "act" (Sense 3). So, I am back to square one, where the word is ambiguous but the *protocol* is a key, clear clinical procedure.

So it's either "as injection" = substance (solution) or the administration (Sense 3). It can't be used as an *act* by itself! It can be used *by* the act, which is what I'm seeing here. And here's where the SemEval task and the EMA documents come in - those use the terms "tablets" and "injection" synonymously with forms of the medication. And for an article to be dropped, it might be mass noun or a shorthand for the route. In European English, the form is called an "injection". I start to lean heavily towards it being the method of treatment, which is by an act of injection, or a shot.

I look at the specific sentence again. I see it says "(either as injection or as injection followed by tablets)." Can this formulation be interpreted? It means that the therapy is *given* "as injection." If an injectible substance is *given*, that means the injection is an *act*. I look at the wording from the EMA documents: "Cerenia can be given either as injection" which is contrasted with "Cerenia can be given ... as tablets". The tablet is a form, an artifact, not an act. It suggests there are *two* routes of administration.

The question is, then: Could the SemEval task have chosen either one? Let's check the SemEval-2013 Task 12 data: and I find out that the task was based on the EPAR documents! I recall SemEval-2013 Task 12 and its goal in disambiguation, which used the EMEA corpus! The annotations and mapping to BabelNet / WordNet are key. The possible senses are injection%1:27:00:: and injection%1:04:01

**My Analysis of "injection" in the Context of Cerenia Treatment**

Alright, let's break this down. My task is to determine the correct sense of "injection" within the context of Cerenia's use for treating vomiting. The core phrase is: "Cerenia can also be used in the treatment of vomiting (either as injection or as injection followed by tablets)." My initial instinct is to consider both the formulation (solution for injection) and the administration (the act of giving a shot).

I'm leaning heavily towards the medication's form; either an injection *or* an injection followed by tablets. My initial thought is the formulation since the phrase contains *either as injection or as injection followed by tablets*. My expertise in this area tells me that in pharmacy and medicine, "injection" often refers to the sterile liquid preparation meant for injection, or injectant. This is backed by the phrase, "followed by tablets." This suggests a dosage form, like how a formulation, the liquid injectant would be followed by a solid tablet. Tablets are solid dosage forms. Cerenia is supplied as tablets, but is also a liquid solution, meant to be injected. The language pattern "either as injection or as injection followed by tablets" makes the medication form the more likely option, as tablets, a solid object are also a form.

The article "a" is missing, as if to denote that it is referring to *the* injection as it is a specific medicine.

I then consulted the EMA document to find the exact phrasing: "Cerenia can also be used in the treatment of vomiting (either as injection or as injection followed by tablets)." It is the same! The EMA summary says "either as injection or as injection followed by tablets".

The word "injection" fits the definition of "any solution that is injected (as into the skin)". It is also an injection, in pharmaceutical terms.

Now, if it were the "act of injection", then I would expect to see "by injection". But it says "as injection". Regulatory texts often say: "Cerenia solution for injection" or "Cerenia injection", which directly refers to the pharmaceutical product. This further cements the idea that "injection" here is referring to the formulation, which in this case would be the solution for injection.

Looking at it, in the context, this indicates a sequence of dosage forms: the solution for injection followed by tablets.

Therefore, the correct sense is sense 2: "any solution that is injected (as into the skin)" or injectant. This is very common, so it must be the correct sense.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Tablets"**

Okay, so the task is to pinpoint the specific meaning of "tablets" within this veterinary context. Let's break it down. The target word is "tablets" – the lemma is "tablet," of course – and the context describes Cerenia, a medication for dogs. It mentions Cerenia being given as an injection, or *followed by* "tablets." Right away, my expert intuition is leaning towards a medicinal application.

Now, let's consider the candidate senses: a stone inscription, bound paper, a soap tablet... those are clearly irrelevant here. The fourth sense, "a dose of medicine in the form of a small pellet," that's the one. It's a direct match. The context describes the form that the medication is dispensed in, so sense 4, a pill, is the correct interpretation. Therefore, I can confidently assign sense index 4. This is a straightforward application of contextual semantic disambiguation.

**Deconstructing "Purposes" in a Pharmaceutical Context**

Okay, the target word is "purposes" in this passage, and immediately, I need to pinpoint the intended sense. "What is Cerenia used for? ... For these purposes..." My initial thought is to run through the obvious candidates: purpose as *intent* (design, aim), *function* (use, role), or *determination*.

The context, though, is key. We're discussing a drug, Cerenia, and its application. It's used to prevent and treat vomiting in dogs. It's essentially addressing the question, "What is Cerenia *used* for?" The phrase "For these purposes" directly follows statements detailing Cerenia's use.

I start by testing the waters with the question "What is Cerenia used for?" and that quickly pulls me to sense 2.

Sense 2 – function, role, use; aligns perfectly with "What is Cerenia used for?".

Now, let's rigorously confirm: comparing sense 1 to sense 2:

*   Sense 1, intent and planned actions, is an anticipated outcome to guide planned actions (as the intent)
*   Sense 2 is "what something is used for" (function, role, use)

My initial assessment is reinforced: the context of "What is Cerenia used for?" and the subsequent "For these purposes..." clearly points to the function, role, or use of the drug. The phrasing is a common one, but here it has a very clear referent: the *uses* described earlier.

In a medical context, we might phrase it as "indications / uses / purposes". But, "For these purposes" is essentially synonymous with "for these uses." Therefore, the second definition is the precise one here.

**Analyzing the Verb "Given" in the Context of Cerenia**

Okay, so we're looking at "Cerenia can be *given*," specifically regarding its use in treating vomiting. My initial thought is, this is a pharmaceutical context, and "given" most likely means "administered" or "prescribed." This is critical for understanding the drug's application.

My hypothesis is that "given" is used as medicine, which is sense 19.

Now, let's confirm this by checking the different senses that apply. First, there's sense 19: "give (as medicine)" – with an example, "I gave him the drug." Bingo! That fits perfectly.

Just to be thorough, I'll quickly eliminate other senses. "Cause to have" (Sense 1) or "transfer possession" (Sense 3) don't make sense. Also, Sense 20 "give or convey physically (apply)" – does not convey the primary intent. They are all less relevant.

Therefore, confirming it, sense index 19 ("give (as medicine)" / administer medicine) is the clearest and most accurate interpretation of "given" in this context.
