Context:
The trial judge, Jon C. Blue of State Superior Court, tersely rejected the claims in a ruling last week, saying that the news media were "carefully controlled" and that there was no evidence the jury was driven by passion. But that is not likely to be the last word on the issue. For decades, appeals courts have recognized that coverage of notorious cases can raise questions about a trial's fairness. In a landmark 1966 ruling, the United States Supreme Court overturned the conviction of a Cleveland osteopath, Dr. Sam Sheppard, for the murder of his wife, saying in its decision, Sheppard v. Maxwell, that there was a "carnival atmosphere at trial" because of the news media. The crime is believed by some to have been the inspiration for the television show and the movie "The Fugitive." Some lawyers said appeals courts reviewing Mr. Hayes's conviction half a century later might be intrigued by the argument that new <t>rules</t> could be necessary to govern ways of communicating from courtrooms unimagined at the time of Dr. Sheppard's case. "There is a general reason for concern about the impact of the new media" in high-profile trials, said John J.

The context discusses "new rules could be necessary to govern ways of communicating from courtrooms." This refers to legal rules or regulations that govern behavior in court settings. Let me look at the candidates:

1. rule%1:09:00:: - a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior (synonyms=regulation) - "it was his rule to take a walk before breakfast; short haircuts were the regulation"
3. rule%1:10:00:: - prescribed guide for conduct or action (synonyms=prescript)

The context is about legal rules that govern courtroom communications. This is about prescribed guides for conduct or action in a legal setting.

Sense 1 (rule%1:09:00::) is about principles that customarily govern behavior - more like customs or habitual practices.

Sense 3 (rule%1:10:00::) is about prescribed guides for conduct or action - this seems more appropriate for legal rules that are formally established to govern courtroom procedures.

The text says "new rules could be necessary to govern ways of communicating from courtrooms" - this is about formal, prescribed guidelines for conduct in courts, which fits sense 3 better than sense 1.

Sense 3 seems most appropriate here - these are prescribed guides for conduct or action, specifically legal rules that would govern courtroom communications.

The target word is "ways" in the context: "Some lawyers said appeals courts reviewing Mr. Hayes's conviction half a century later might be intrigued by the argument that new rules could be necessary to govern ways of communicating from courtrooms unimagined at the time of Dr. Sheppard's case."

Here, "ways of communicating" refers to how communication is done or how it happens.
- Sense 1: how something is done or how it happens (manner, mode, style, fashion) - examples: "her dignified manner", "his rapid manner of talking"
- Sense 2: how a result is obtained or an end is achieved (means, agency)

"Ways of communicating" means methods/manners/means of communicating. It could be sense 1 or sense 2.

Sense 1 is about "how something is done or how it happens" - synonyms: manner, mode, style, fashion. This fits "ways of communicating" as in the manner/mode of communicating (e.g., tweeting, live blogging, etc.).

Sense 2 is about "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" - synonyms: means, agency. This is more about means to achieve a goal.

In the context, "ways of communicating from courtrooms" refers to the methods/modes/manners of communication (like Twitter, blogs, live streaming, etc.). This is more about "how something is done" (sense 1) rather than "how a result is obtained" (sense 2).

Actually, "ways of communicating" could be interpreted as "means of communicating" which would be sense 2. But "how something is done" (sense 1) with the synonym "mode" fits well - "modes of communicating."

Let me think more carefully. The sentence says "new rules could be necessary to govern ways of communicating from courtrooms unimagined at the time of Dr. Sheppard's case." The "ways of communicating" refers to new forms/media of communication (like Twitter, live blogging). These are methods/modes/means of communication.

Sense 1 (manner, mode, style, fashion) - "how something is done or how it happens" - "modes of communicating" fits well here.
Sense 2 (means, agency) - "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" - "means of communicating" could also fit.

The examples for sense 1 are about personal manner ("her dignified manner", "his rapid manner of talking"), which is more about personal style. But the definition is broader: "how something is done or how it happens."

The examples for sense 2 are "a means of control" and "an example is the best agency of instruction" - these are about instruments/methods to achieve an end.

"Ways of communicating from courtrooms" - this is about the methods/channels used to communicate. It's about how communication happens, which is sense 1. But it could also be seen as means to achieve the end of communication, which is sense 2.

I think sense 1 is the better fit because "ways of communicating" is about how communication is done (the mode/manner of communication), not about achieving a particular result through communication.

Actually, let me reconsider. "Ways of communicating" in this context refers to the new technologies and methods by which reporters communicate from courtrooms - like Twitter, blogs, live streaming. These are means/modes of communication.

Sense 1: "how something is done or how it happens" with synonyms manner, mode, style, fashion - this fits "modes of communicating"
Sense 2: "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" with synonyms means, agency - this fits "means of communicating"

Both could work, but I think sense 1 is more appropriate because the focus is on the manner/mode of communication itself, not on achieving a specific end. The "ways" here refers to the different forms of communication (how communication happens), which aligns with sense 1.

I'll go with sense 1.

The target word is "reason" in the context: "There is a general reason for concern about the impact of the new media" in high-profile trials.

Let me analyze the context. The sentence is saying there is a general "reason" for concern. This means there is a justification or rational motive for the concern.

Looking at the senses:

1. sense_key=reason%1:16:00:: - "a rational motive for a belief or action" - synonyms: ground - examples: "the reason that war was declared"
5. sense_key=reason%1:10:00:: - "a justification for something existing or happening" - synonyms: cause, grounds - examples: "they had good reason to rejoice"
6. sense_key=reason%1:09:01:: - "a fact that logically justifies some premise or conclusion" - examples: "there is reason to believe he is lying"

The phrase "there is a general reason for concern" is very similar to "there is reason to believe" (sense 6) and "they had good reason to rejoice" (sense 5).

Sense 6 seems closest: "a fact that logically justifies some premise or conclusion" with the example "there is reason to believe he is lying" - this is very close to "there is a general reason for concern."

Sense 5: "a justification for something existing or happening" with example "they had good reason to rejoice" - also close.

Sense 1: "a rational motive for a belief or action" with example "the reason that war was declared" - also possible.

The phrase "reason for concern" suggests a justification or basis for the concern.

Looking more carefully:
- Sense 6's example "there is reason to believe he is lying" is structurally very similar to "there is a general reason for concern about..."
- Sense 5's example "they had good reason to rejoice" is also similar.

The difference between sense 5 and sense 6:
- Sense 5 is about justification for something existing or happening
- Sense 6 is about a fact that logically justifies some premise or conclusion

"There is a general reason for concern" - the concern is a conclusion/premise, and the reason justifies it. This aligns with sense 6.

But sense 5 with "they had good reason to rejoice" also fits well - the rejoicing is justified by the reason.

I think sense 6 is the best fit because "there is reason to believe" is almost identical in structure to "there is a general reason for concern."

Actually, let me reconsider. "There is a general reason for concern" - this is saying there's a justification for being concerned.

Sense 5: "a justification for something existing or happening" - the concern is something that exists/is happening, and the reason justifies it.
Sense 6: "a fact that logically justifies some premise or conclusion" - the concern could be seen as a conclusion.

I'll go with sense 6, as the example "there is reason to believe he is lying" is the closest parallel to "there is a general reason for concern."

Looking at the context: "There is a general reason for concern about the impact of the new media" in high-profile trials.

The phrase "reason for concern" here means a reason to feel worried or anxious. The passage discusses anxiety about whether new media (like instant courtroom communication) could undermine trial fairness. The "concern" refers to the worried feeling itself — there is reason to feel anxious about the impact.

- Sense 1 (something that interests you) doesn't capture the anxious undertone present in this legal context about potential unfairness.
- Sense 2 (an anxious feeling) fits well: "reason for concern" = "reason for an anxious feeling," with synonyms like "care" and "fear."
- Sense 3 (sympathy for someone) is clearly wrong — this isn't about sympathy.
- Sense 4 (something that causes anxiety) would make "concern" the source of worry rather than the feeling; here, the impact of new media is the source, and the concern is the anxious response to it.
- Sense 5 (commercial enterprise) is irrelevant.

{"sense_index": 2}

reasoning_content:
The target word is "concern" in the sentence: "There is a general reason for concern about the impact of the new media" in high-profile trials.

Let me analyze the context:
- The sentence talks about a "reason for concern" about the impact of new media in high-profile trials.
- This is about anxiety or worry regarding the fairness of trials.
- The phrase "reason for concern" suggests something that causes anxiety or worry.

Looking at the senses:
1. concern%1:09:00:: - something that interests you because it is important or affects you (the safety of the ship is the captain's concern) - This could work as it's about something important.
2. concern%1:12:01:: - an anxious feeling (care had aged him; out of fear of public reaction) - This is about the feeling of anxiety itself.
3. concern%1:12:00:: - a feeling of sympathy for someone or something (She felt strong concern for those less fortunate) - This is about sympathy, doesn't fit well.
4. concern%1:09:01:: - something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness (New York traffic is a constant concern; it's a major worry) - This is about the thing causing worry.
5. concern%1:14:00:: - a commercial or industrial enterprise - clearly doesn't fit.

The phrase "reason for concern" is tricky. It could mean:
- A reason for feeling anxious (sense 2)
- A reason for something being a worry/source of anxiety (sense 4)

Let me think about this more carefully. "There is a general reason for concern about the impact of the new media" - here "concern" seems to be referring to the state of being worried/anxious. "A reason for concern" means "a reason to be worried." The concern here is the anxious feeling or worry itself.

Sense 2 (an anxious feeling) seems most appropriate because "reason for concern" = "reason for [feeling anxious/worried]". The concern is the feeling of anxiety that people have.

Sense 4 is "something that causes anxiety" - but in this context, the "new media" or its "impact" would be the thing causing anxiety, not the concern itself. The concern is the response.

Actually, let me reconsider. "Reason for concern" - the concern could be interpreted as:
- The feeling of worry (sense 2)
- The thing that is worrying (sense 4)

In the sentence "There is a general reason for concern about X," X is the thing being worried about. The concern is the worry/anxiety itself. So sense 2 seems right.

But wait, let me look at sense 4 again: "something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness" with examples "New York traffic is a constant concern" and "it's a major worry." In this usage, "concern" refers to the thing causing worry, not the feeling. "New York traffic is a constant concern" means traffic is something that causes concern.

In our context: "There is a general reason for concern about the impact of the new media" - here, the impact of new media could be seen as the concern (the thing causing worry), or concern could be the feeling of worry.

Hmm, "reason for concern" is a common phrase. Let me think about what "concern" means in this phrase. "Reason for concern" typically means "reason to worry" or "reason for worry." So concern = worry (the feeling or state).

Looking at the examples:
- Sense 2: "care had aged him" - here care/concern is a feeling that aged him. "they hushed it up out of fear of public reaction" - concern/fear as a feeling.
- Sense 4: "New York traffic is a constant concern" - traffic is the thing causing concern. "it's a major worry" - it (some situation) is a worry.

In "There is a general reason for concern about X," I think concern refers to the anxious feeling or state of worry. The sentence is saying there's a reason to feel worried. So sense 2 seems more appropriate.

Actually, I'm now second-guessing myself. Let me think again.

"There is a general reason for concern about the impact of the new media"

This could be paraphrased as:
- "There is a general reason to be concerned about..." (concern = worried feeling, sense 2)
- "The impact of the new media is a general concern" (concern = thing causing worry, sense 4)

The first paraphrase seems more natural to me. "Reason for concern" = "reason to worry" = "reason to feel anxious." The concern is the feeling.

But actually, in sense 4's example "it's a major worry" - "worry" can also be a noun referring to the thing causing worry, not just the feeling. "Money is a constant worry" means money is something that causes worry.

Let me look at this differently. The phrase "reason for concern" is idiomatic. In this phrase, "concern" typically refers to the state of being worried or the feeling of anxiety. "There's reason for concern" = "There's reason to worry" = "We should be worried."

I'll go with sense 2: an anxious feeling. The context clearly involves anxiety about the impact of new media on trial fairness.

Wait, but let me reconsider one more time. Sense 2 has synonyms "care, fear" and examples like "care had aged him" and "out of fear of public reaction." These are about the emotional state.

Sense 4 has synonyms "worry, headache, vexation" and examples like "New York traffic is a constant concern" and "it's a major worry." These are about the source of the worry.

In "There is a general reason for concern about the impact of the new media," I believe "concern" is being used as the feeling/state of worry. The "impact of the new media" is what people are concerned about. The concern is the anxious feeling.

So I'll go with sense 2.

Hmm, but actually I realize I should think about this more carefully. Let me consider both possibilities:

Sense 2: "an anxious feeling" - If concern = anxious feeling, then "There is a general reason for [an anxious feeling] about the impact..." This works. It means there's a reason to feel anxious.

Sense 4: "something that causes anxiety" - If concern = something that causes anxiety, then "There is a general reason for [something that causes anxiety] about the impact..." This is a bit awkward. It would mean there's a reason for the impact being a source of anxiety.

Actually, thinking about it more, I think sense 2 fits better. "Reason for concern" = "reason for worry/anxiety" where concern is the feeling.

But let me also consider sense 1: "something that interests you because it is important or affects you." In the legal/academic context, "concern" could mean something that is important and affects people. "There is a general reason for [something that affects us] about the impact of new media." This doesn't quite work syntactically.

I'll stick with sense 2.

Actually, I want to reconsider one more time. Let me think about what "reason for concern" means.

"Concern" as a noun can mean:
1. The feeling of worry/anxiety (sense 2): "His concern was evident."
2. The thing causing worry (sense 4): "The economy is a major concern."
3. Something that interests you (sense 1): "Environmental issues are a concern of his."

In "There is a general reason for concern about X":
- If concern = feeling (sense 2): "There is a reason for [worry] about X" = "There is a reason to worry about X"
- If concern = thing causing worry (sense 4): "There is a reason for [X being a source of worry]" = less natural
- If concern = something of interest (sense 1): "There is a reason for [X being important]" = less natural in this context

I think sense 2 is the best fit. The sentence is saying there's a reason to feel worried about the impact of new media.

Final answer: sense 2.

Wait, I want to double-check by considering the broader context. The passage discusses how media coverage can affect trial fairness, and there's anxiety about new media's impact. "There is a general reason for concern" means there's legitimate cause to worry. The concern is the worry/anxiety people feel.

Yes, sense 2: an anxious feeling.

Actually, let me reconsider one final time. I'm looking at this phrase: "There is a general reason for concern about the impact of the new media."

Hmm, could "concern" here be closer to sense 1 - "something that interests you because it is important or affects you"? In academic/legal contexts, "concern" can sometimes mean an issue or matter of importance. "There is a general reason for [this matter of importance] about the impact..." This doesn't quite work syntactically either.

No, I think sense 2 is correct. "Reason for concern" = "reason to worry" = "reason for anxiety." The concern is the anxious feeling.

Let me finalize: sense 2.

But that is not likely to be the last word on the issue. For decades, appeals courts have recognized that coverage of notorious cases can raise questions about a trial's fairness. In a landmark 1966 ruling, the United States Supreme Court overturned the conviction of a Cleveland osteopath, Dr. Sam Sheppard, for the murder of his wife, saying in its decision, Sheppard v. Maxwell, that there was a "carnival atmosphere at trial" because of the news media. The crime is believed by some to have been the inspiration for the television show and the movie "The Fugitive." Some lawyers said appeals courts reviewing Mr. Hayes's conviction half a century later might be intrigued by the argument that new rules could be necessary to govern ways of communicating from courtrooms unimagined at the time of Dr. Sheppard's case. "There is a general reason for concern about the <t>impact</t> of the new media" in high-profile trials, said John J. Donohue III, a Stanford Law School professor who studied the Connecticut death penalty and wrote a report that said it was arbitrarily enforced.

The target word is "impact" in the phrase "the impact of the new media" in high-profile trials.
Sense 1: physical striking. (No)
Sense 2: a forceful consequence; a strong effect. Example: "the book had an important impact on my thinking". (Yes, strong effect)
Sense 3: influencing strongly. Example: "impingement of American values on European culture". (Could be, but 'impact' here is more about effect than impinging/encroaching, though closely related).
Sense 4: violent interaction. (No)

Let's look closely at sense 2 vs sense 3.
Sense 2 is a consequence/effect. "impact of the new media" -> the effect of the new media.
Sense 3 is influencing strongly, encroachment.
The context: "concern about the impact of the new media" -> concern about the effect/consequence of the new media.
Sense 2's example: "the book had an important impact on my thinking".
Sense 3's example: "impingement of American values".
Sense 2 definition: "a forceful consequence; a strong effect". Sense 2 fits perfectly.

The target word is "idea" in the sentence: "Professor Donohue said some appeals judges might be intrigued by the idea that limiting instant communication from courtrooms might make trials fairer."

Let me analyze the context:
- The "idea" here refers to a concept or proposition - specifically the proposition that "limiting instant communication from courtrooms might make trials fairer."
- This is about the content of cognition, a thought or concept being considered.

Sense 1: "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about" - synonyms=thought - examples=it was not a good idea; the thought never entered my mind

Sense 2: "your intention; what you intend to do" - synonyms=mind - examples=he had in mind to see his old teacher; the idea of the game is to capture all the pieces

Sense 3: "a personal view" - examples=he has an idea that we don't like him

Sense 4: "an approximate calculation of quantity or degree or worth" - synonyms=estimate, estimation, approximation - examples=an estimate of what it would cost; a rough idea how long it would take

Sense 5: "(music) melodic subject of a musical composition" - synonyms=theme, melodic theme, musical theme

The "idea" here is "the idea that limiting instant communication from courtrooms might make trials fairer." This is a concept or proposition - a thought. It's not an intention (sense 2), not a personal view (sense 3 - though it could be argued, it's more of a concept/proposition), not an approximation (sense 4), and not musical (sense 5).

Sense 1 fits best: "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about" - it's a thought or concept being considered.

Let me reconsider sense 3: "a personal view" - examples=he has an idea that we don't like him. The "idea that limiting instant communication from courtrooms might make trials fairer" could be seen as a view or proposition someone holds. But looking at the example for sense 3, "he has an idea that we don't like him" is more about a personal belief or impression, whereas in this context, "the idea that limiting instant communication..." is more of a concept or proposal being discussed.

I think sense 1 is the best fit. The "idea" is the content of cognition - a concept or thought being considered by the judges.

Sense 3: "a connection allowing access between persons or places" - Example: "how many lines of communication can there be among four people?; a secret passageway provided communication between the two rooms". This refers to a channel or connection.

In the context "limiting instant communication from courtrooms", this refers to the activity of conveying information (via Twitter, etc.) from courtrooms. It's about the act of communicating, not a specific message (sense 2) or a physical connection (sense 3).

The phrase "instant communication" refers to the activity of communicating instantly. Like "communication from Moscow" in the example for sense 1.

Sense 1 fits best. The activity of conveying information.

Target lemma: trial
Target surface form: trials
Context:
For decades, appeals courts have recognized that coverage of notorious cases can raise questions about a trial's fairness. In a landmark 1966 ruling, the United States Supreme Court overturned the conviction of a Cleveland osteopath, Dr. Sam Sheppard, for the murder of his wife, saying in its decision, Sheppard v. Maxwell, that there was a "carnival atmosphere at trial" because of the news media. The crime is believed by some to have been the inspiration for the television show and the movie "The Fugitive." Some lawyers said appeals courts reviewing Mr. Hayes's conviction half a century later might be intrigued by the argument that new rules could be necessary to govern ways of communicating from courtrooms unimagined at the time of Dr. Sheppard's case. "There is a general reason for concern about the impact of the new media" in high-profile trials, said John J. Donohue III, a Stanford Law School professor who studied the Connecticut death penalty and wrote a report that said it was arbitrarily enforced. Professor Donohue said some appeals judges might be intrigued by the idea that limiting instant communication from courtrooms might make <t>trials</t> fairer. The Twitter issue is just one of many outlined by Mr. Hayes's lawyers that are likely to be argued for years, delaying an execution.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "issue" in the context: "The Twitter issue is just one of many outlined by Mr. Hayes's lawyers that are likely to be argued for years, delaying an execution."

Let's analyze the context.
The text discusses the use of Twitter in courtrooms, and how it creates a legal question or problem ("The Twitter issue") that lawyers are outlining and which "are likely to be argued for years".
Sense 1: "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled" | examples=politicians never discuss the real issues.
Sense 3: "some situation or event that is thought about" | synonyms=topic, subject, matter | examples=he kept drifting off the topic.

"The Twitter issue" refers to the legal problem/dispute over Twitter usage in the courtroom, which is one of many points outlined by the lawyers to be argued.
"an important question that is in dispute and must be settled" fits perfectly because it is a legal issue "likely to be argued for years".
Sense 1 seems better than Sense 3 because it's specifically a matter of legal dispute or a question that must be settled, as implied by "argued for years".

The target word is "years" in the phrase "argued for years, delaying an execution."

The context: "The Twitter issue is just one of many outlined by Mr. Hayes's lawyers that are likely to be argued for years, delaying an execution."

Here "years" refers to a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days, used to indicate duration. "Argued for years" means argued for a long time, spanning multiple years.

Sense 1: a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days - examples: "she is 4 years old", "in the year 1920"
Sense 2: a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year for some particular activity - examples: "a school year"
Sense 3: the period of time that it takes for a planet to make a complete revolution around the sun - examples: "a Martian year takes 687 of our days"
Sense 4: a body of students who graduate together - synonyms: class

The best sense is Sense 1, as "years" here refers to multiple individual years (periods of 365/366 days) during which the argument will continue.

reasoning_content:
The context is about a death penalty case, specifically about delaying an execution. The text mentions "The Twitter issue is just one of many outlined by Mr. Hayes's lawyers that are likely to be argued for years, delaying an execution." Mr. Hayes is on death row, and the discussion is about death penalty appeals.

Sense 1: "putting a condemned person to death" - this fits perfectly with the context of a death penalty case where the execution is being delayed.

Sense 7: "unlawful premeditated killing" - this is murder/slaying, not the legal execution of a condemned person.

So the answer is sense 1.

The target word is "reactions" in the context of testing potential jurors' reactions by showing them grisly crime-scene photographs during jury selection.

This is about how jurors emotionally or psychologically respond to seeing the photographs. It's about their feelings or attitudes revealed by the experience.

Let me look at the candidates:
1. Chemical reaction - no
2. An idea evoked by some experience - possible, but not quite
3. A bodily process occurring due to the effect of some antecedent stimulus or agent - no, this is more medical/physiological
4. Mechanics - equal and opposite force - no
5. A response that reveals a person's feelings or attitude - yes, this fits. The lawyers want to see how jurors react (their feelings/attitudes) to the grisly photographs.
6. Extreme conservatism - no
7. Doing something in opposition to another way - no

Sense 5 fits best: "a response that reveals a person's feelings or attitude." The examples "he was pleased by the audience's reaction to his performance" and "John feared his mother's reaction when she saw the broken lamp" are analogous to testing jurors' reactions to grisly crime-scene photographs.

The answer is sense_index 5.

These are people who suffered from an adverse circumstance (they were murdered/attacked in a crime). They are not people who were tricked or swindled.

Sense 1: an unfortunate person who suffers from some adverse circumstance - this fits perfectly as they are crime victims.

Sense 2: a person who is tricked or swindled (synonym: dupe) - this does not fit.

The answer is sense 1.

Sense 2 is "an authority who is able to estimate worth or quality" - like a judge in a competition. Not applicable here.

The target word is "pressure" in the context: "he improperly added pressure for a verdict by his unusual decision to direct the jury to deliberate over a weekend."

Here, "pressure" refers to a compelling force or influence put on the jury to reach a verdict. This aligns with sense 2: "a force that compels" with example "the public brought pressure to bear on the government."

Sense 6 is "an oppressive condition of physical or mental or social or economic distress" - this is more about a state of distress rather than an applied force.

Sense 2 fits best: "a force that compels" - the judge added pressure (a compelling force) for a verdict.
