Target lemma: week
Target surface form: week
Context:
It gives a lot of flexibility to the process, said John Coequyt, senior Washington representative for the Sierra Club. Michael Zammit Cutajar, who drafted the six-page document, boiled down a 180-page negotiation text to focus on what the U.N.'s top climate official, Yvo de Boer, described as "the big picture." It shows the outlines for a possible deal, in which industrial nations would collectively cut their emissions by 2020 by 25 to 45 percent compared with 1990 levels, while major developing countries would reduce theirs during the same period by 15 to 30 percent. Together, the countries would cut emissions between 50 and 95 percent by 2050. The European Union gave the talks a boost as well on Friday by pledging to provide $3.6 billion a year over the next three years to help poorer countries adapt to the impact of climate change -- from coping with flood and drought to avoiding deforestation. Still, Friday featured the same sort of verbal fireworks that have dominated the talks for the past <t>week</t>. U.S. special climate envoy Todd Stern rejected language requiring binding cuts of greenhouse-gas emissions for industrialized countries compared with voluntary ones by major emerging economies if they were not funded by the developed world.

reasoning_content:
The context is: "Still, Friday featured the same sort of verbal fireworks that have dominated the talks for the past week."

Here "week" refers to a period of seven consecutive days. It's not specifically about a workweek (sense 2) or a calendar week starting on Sunday (sense 3). It's just "the past week" meaning any period of seven consecutive days.

Sense 1 fits best: "any period of seven consecutive days" with the example "it rained for a week."

reasoning_content:
The target word is "envoy" in the context: "U.S. special climate envoy Todd Stern rejected language requiring binding cuts..."
Sense 1: a diplomat having less authority than an ambassador (envoy extraordinary, minister plenipotentiary)
Sense 2: someone sent on a mission to represent the interests of someone else (emissary)
Sense 3: a brief stanza concluding certain forms of poetry (envoi)

Todd Stern is the "U.S. special climate envoy." He is representing the United States in climate talks. He is sent on a mission to represent the interests of the U.S. This fits sense 2 (emissary) or sense 1 (diplomat).
Todd Stern was appointed as Special Envoy for Climate Change by the Obama administration. He is not an ambassador in the traditional diplomatic sense, but he is sent on a mission to represent the interests of the U.S. on climate change. "Special climate envoy" is a representative role.
Sense 1 is specifically about a diplomatic rank (envoy extraordinary, minister plenipotentiary) which is a specific rank below ambassador.
Sense 2 is broader: someone sent on a mission to represent the interests of someone else. A "special envoy" is an emissary.
While he is a diplomat, the title "special climate envoy" aligns closely with "someone sent on a mission to represent the interests of someone else" (emissary). Special envoys are often not career diplomats with the specific rank of minister plenipotentiary, but rather individuals appointed for a specific mission.
Let's consider the difference. "U.S. special climate envoy" - is this a diplomatic post or an emissary role? The term "envoy" here is used in the sense of a representative sent on a specific mission (climate change), which is sense 2.
Let's double check. WordNet 3.0:
Noun
1. envoy, envoy extraordinary, minister plenipotentiary -- a diplomat having less authority than an ambassador
2. envoy, emissary -- someone sent on a mission to represent the interests of someone else

"Special envoy" typically falls under sense 2. It's an emissary.
I will choose sense 2.

The target word is "cuts" in the context: "Todd Stern rejected language requiring binding cuts of greenhouse-gas emissions for industrialized countries compared with voluntary ones by major emerging economies"

Here, "cuts" refers to reductions in greenhouse-gas emissions. The context is about reducing emissions by certain percentages.

Looking at the candidate senses:
- Sense 19: "the act of reducing the amount or number" with example "the mayor proposed extensive cuts in the city budget"

This matches the context where "cuts" refers to reductions in greenhouse-gas emissions. The example about budget cuts is analogous to emission cuts.

So the answer is sense 19.

reasoning_content:
The context is about greenhouse-gas emissions, which refers to substances (gases) that are emitted or released. This matches sense 2: "a substance that is emitted or released" with synonym "discharge."

Sense 1 is "the act of emitting" - this is about the action, not the substance.
Sense 2 is "a substance that is emitted or released" - this fits greenhouse-gas emissions (the gases themselves).

The answer is sense_index 2.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "ones" in the context: "U.S. special climate envoy Todd Stern rejected language requiring binding cuts of greenhouse-gas emissions for industrialized countries compared with voluntary ones by major emerging economies..."

Here, "ones" refers to "cuts" (voluntary cuts by major emerging economies). It's a pronoun standing for a plural noun phrase referring to things (cuts).

Looking at the senses:
1. one%1:23:00:: - the smallest whole number (1, I, ace, single, unity)
2. one%1:09:00:: - a single person or thing (examples: "he is the best one"; "this is the one I ordered")

Sense 2 is about "a single person or thing" - used as a pronoun substituting for a noun. This fits the usage here where "ones" substitutes for "cuts."

Sense 1 is about the numeral one.

The answer is sense 2.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "officials" in the context: "The move signaled that the Obama administration is taking a harder line with China than Bush administration officials did just two years ago."

Here, "officials" refers to people who hold office in the Bush administration. They are government workers who hold or are invested with an office. This matches sense 1: "a worker who holds or is invested with an office" with synonym "functionary."

Sense 2 refers to sports officials, which doesn't fit here.

The answer is sense_index 1.

Target lemma: year
Target surface form: years
Context:
It shows the outlines for a possible deal, in which industrial nations would collectively cut their emissions by 2020 by 25 to 45 percent compared with 1990 levels, while major developing countries would reduce theirs during the same period by 15 to 30 percent. Together, the countries would cut emissions between 50 and 95 percent by 2050. The European Union gave the talks a boost as well on Friday by pledging to provide $3.6 billion a year over the next three years to help poorer countries adapt to the impact of climate change -- from coping with flood and drought to avoiding deforestation. Still, Friday featured the same sort of verbal fireworks that have dominated the talks for the past week. U.S. special climate envoy Todd Stern rejected language requiring binding cuts of greenhouse-gas emissions for industrialized countries compared with voluntary ones by major emerging economies if they were not funded by the developed world. The move signaled that the Obama administration is taking a harder line with China than Bush administration officials did just two <t>years</t> ago.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "years" in the phrase "just two years ago."
This refers to a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days.
Sense 1 matches this usage: "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days".
"two years ago" means two 365-day periods ago.
Let's check the options:
1. year%1:28:01:: - a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days
2. year%1:28:02:: - a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year
3. year%1:28:00:: - the period of time that it takes for a planet to make a complete revolution
4. year%1:14:00:: - a body of students who graduate together

The best match is sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The target lemma is "united_states" with surface form "United States".
Context: "The United States is not going to do a deal without the major developing countries stepping up and taking action, said Stern..."

Sense 1: North American republic containing 50 states... (synonyms: United States of America, America, the States, US, USA)
Sense 2: the executive and legislative and judicial branches of the federal government of the United States (synonyms: United States government, U.S. government, U.S.)

In the text: "U.S. special climate envoy Todd Stern rejected language..." "The move signaled that the Obama administration is taking a harder line..." "The United States is not going to do a deal without the major developing countries stepping up..."

Here, "The United States" refers to the country itself as an actor negotiating a deal, acting on the international stage. It refers to the nation-state. This aligns with Sense 1, the North American republic.
Let's double-check if it could be sense 2. Sense 2 is specifically the branches of the federal government. The context is an international climate summit where "The United States" is acting as a country alongside China and the European Union. Thus, it is the geographical/political entity (the republic) rather than just the executive/legislative/judicial branches (though the government acts on its behalf, the entity referenced in international negotiations is typically the country itself). So Sense 1 is the most appropriate.

Let's verify the WordNet sense keys.
united_states%1:15:00:: (noun.location) - North American republic...
united_states%1:14:00:: (noun.group) - the executive and legislative and judicial branches...

Yes, "United States" here represents the nation in an international negotiation context.

I will return {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content:
The target word "deal" appears in the context: "The United States is not going to do a deal without the major developing countries stepping up and taking action, said Stern..."

This refers to an agreement between parties, fixing obligations of each. In climate talks, a "deal" refers to an agreement between countries.

Sense 2: "an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each" with synonyms like "bargain" fits best here.

Sense 1 is about buying or selling, which is not the primary meaning here. The context is about international climate negotiations where countries are discussing binding cuts and obligations.

So sense_index is 2.

This refers to cuts in emissions (greenhouse-gas emissions). The context discusses reducing emissions by 50-95 percent, and "binding cuts of greenhouse-gas emissions."

Sense 19: "the act of reducing the amount or number" with example "the mayor proposed extensive cuts in the city budget" — this fits perfectly. "Cuts" here means reductions in emissions amounts.

Sense 9: "the omission that is made when an editorial change shortens a written passage" — this is about text editing, not applicable.

Sense 18: "the act of shortening something by chopping off the ends" — physical cutting, not applicable.

Sense 19 is the best fit: "the act of reducing the amount or number."

The target word is "hour" in the phrase "Stern made his comments an hour after Chinese vice foreign minister He Yafei said..."

Here, "an hour" refers to a period of time equal to approximately 60 minutes (1/24th of a day). It's measuring the duration between two events - Stern's comments and He Yafei's statement.

Sense 1: a period of time equal to 1/24th of a day - this fits. "An hour after" means 60 minutes after.
Sense 2: clock time - this is about the time shown on a clock, like "the hour is getting late" - doesn't fit.
Sense 3: a special and memorable period - doesn't fit.
Sense 4: distance measured by time - this is about spatial distance, like "we live an hour from the airport" - doesn't fit.

The answer is sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "climate" in the phrase "America's top climate negotiator". Let me analyze the context.

The context is about climate change talks, greenhouse gas emissions, global warming, etc. The phrase "America's top climate negotiator" refers to a negotiator dealing with climate change issues.

Sense 1: the weather in some location averaged over some long period of time (clime)
Sense 2: the prevailing psychological state (mood)

In this context, "climate" in "climate negotiator" refers to climate as in weather/climate change - the physical climate. It's about climate change negotiations. So the "climate negotiator" is someone who negotiates about climate (weather patterns over time, climate change).

This maps to sense 1 - the weather/climate definition, not the psychological state.

The target word is "week" in the phrase "earlier in the week".
The context refers to events happening during a sequence of days of talks ("talks for the past week", "earlier in the week").
This refers to any period of seven consecutive days, not necessarily a calendar week starting on Sunday, and definitely not a workweek (hours or days of work).
Therefore, sense 1 (any period of seven consecutive days) is the best fit.

The target lemma is "united_states" with surface form "United States".
Context: "Stern made his comments an hour after Chinese vice foreign minister He Yafei said America's top climate negotiator was either lacking "common sense" or being "extremely irresponsible" for saying earlier in the week that the United States would not help China financially to cope with global warming."

In the sentence, "the United States would not help China financially", it refers to the nation-state acting as a geopolitical entity. While sense 2 refers to the U.S. government, the context uses "the United States" to refer to the country as a whole, especially in contrast to "China". The country as a whole is typically sense 1. "The United States" as a country making financial decisions on the international stage is often sense 1. Wait, does "the United States would not help China financially" refer to the government or the country? Usually "United States" referring to the nation-state is sense 1. WordNet 1:14:00 is "the executive and legislative and judicial branches of the Federal Government of the United States". Often "United States" in the context of government actions (like "the United States pledged to...") refers to the nation.

Let's look at the usage. "the United States would not help China financially". Sense 1 is the country. Sense 2 is the government. It is usually sense 1 when it contrasts with another country ("China").

Let's check if there's any reason to pick 2. "America's top climate negotiator was... saying... that the United States would not help China financially". It's acting as a country.

I will choose sense 1.

Sense 3 is Taiwan (Republic of China).
The context specifically mentions "Chinese vice foreign minister He Yafei", "Obama administration is taking a harder line with China", and "United States would not help China financially". This is definitely mainland China / PRC.
Therefore, sense 1 is the correct one.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "world" in the phrase "the world's major powers".
Context: "With the future economic trajectory of the world's major powers at stake"
Here, "world" refers to the globe, the planet Earth, where these major powers exist. "World's major powers" means the major powers on Earth.
Let's look at the senses:
1. universe, existence
2. people in general; especially a distinctive group of people
3. reality
4. the 3rd planet from the sun; the planet we live on (synonyms: Earth, globe)
5. people in general considered as a whole
6. a part of the earth that can be considered separately
7. the concerns of this life as distinguished from heaven
8. all of the living human inhabitants of the earth

Wait, "the world's major powers" -> the major powers of the Earth/globe.
Is it sense 4? "the 3rd planet from the sun; the planet we live on". "Earth's major powers" or "the globe's major powers".
Could it be sense 2 or 5? "people in general". "The world's major powers" usually refers to countries, not people.
Let's see the examples for 4: "the Earth moves around the sun; he sailed around the world"
"the world's major powers" -> powers of the world. Sense 4 fits best.

Let's check the rest of the text for clues.
"developed world", "developing world", "industrial world" -> these clearly mean groups of nations or people, corresponding to sense 2 ("people in general; especially a distinctive group of people with some shared interest" -> "the Western world").
However, the target word is in "the world's major powers". "world" here refers to the whole planet, the global system of countries. "world's major powers" = "Earth's major powers" or "global major powers".
Sense 4: "the 3rd planet from the sun; the planet we live on". Synonyms: Earth, globe.
Could it be sense 5: "people in general considered as a whole"?
Could it be sense 1: "everything that exists anywhere"? No.
Is it sense 4? "the 3rd planet from the sun". Yes, major powers on the Earth.
Wait, often "world" meaning the geopolitical sphere or the Earth is mapped to sense 4.
Let's re-read sense 4: "the 3rd planet from the sun; the planet we live on". Synonyms: Earth, globe.
Let's re-read sense 2: "people in general; especially a distinctive group of people with some shared interest". Example: "the Western world".
"the world's major powers" -> "Earth's major powers" makes sense as sense 4.

Let's check if "world" as in "world economy" or "world powers" is sense 4.
Yes, "world" modifying a noun like "powers" or "economy" usually goes to Earth/globe (sense 4).

Is there any other sense?
Sense 2: "people in general; especially a distinctive group of people with some shared interest". Synonyms: domain. "the Western world", "the developing world", "the developed world", "the industrial world".
But the target is "world's major powers". It implies the whole world. "the world's two dozen most influential countries".
So the whole world, Earth, globe. Sense 4 fits well. Synonyms: Earth, globe. "Earth's major powers", "globe's major powers".

Let's confirm sense 4.
Definition: the 3rd planet from the sun; the planet we live on.
Synonyms: Earth, globe.
Examples: the Earth moves around the sun; he sailed around the world.

Let's confirm sense 1.
Definition: everything that exists anywhere.
Synonyms: universe, existence, creation, cosmos, macrocosm.

Let's confirm sense 5.
Definition: people in general considered as a whole.
Synonyms: populace, public.
Example: he is a hero in the eyes of the public.

So "world's major powers" clearly relates to Earth/the globe. Sense 4.

Let's consider Sense 8: "all of the living human inhabitants of the earth". Synonyms: human race. "world's major powers" is not "human race's major powers".

Therefore, Sense 4 is the best fit for "the world's major powers".

I will output {"sense_index": 4}.
