Target lemma: rule
Target surface form: rules
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. 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 "rules" 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."
The context talks about "new rules" that could be necessary to govern ways of communicating from courtrooms.
This refers to prescribed guides for conduct or action, or regulations.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=rule%1:09:00:: | definition=a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior | synonyms=regulation | examples=it was his rule to take a walk before breakfast; short haircuts were the regulation
3. sense_key=rule%1:10:00:: | definition=prescribed guide for conduct or action | synonyms=prescript

Wait, "new rules could be necessary to govern ways of communicating from courtrooms". This is a prescribed guide for conduct or action, or a regulation.
Let's check sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior" (regulation).
Let's check sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action" (prescript).
Is it sense 1 or sense 3?
"new rules could be necessary to govern ways of communicating" -> "govern ways of communicating" -> "prescribed guide for conduct or action".
Wait, sense 1 is "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior".
Sense 3 is "prescribed guide for conduct or action".
Let's see: "new rules could be necessary to govern ways of communicating from courtrooms". This is a prescribed guide for conduct or action.
Let's look at similar examples. "rules of the court", "rules of evidence". These are prescribed guides for conduct or action.
Wait, let's look at sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior".
Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action".
In WordNet, "rule" as in "rules of the court" or "new rules" is often sense 3 (prescribed guide for conduct or action) or sense 1 (regulation).
Let's check the synonyms. Sense 1 has "regulation". Sense 3 has "prescript".
"new rules could be necessary to govern ways of communicating" -> "govern" -> "prescribed guide for conduct or action".
Let's consider "rule" in the context of court rules. Court rules are prescribed guides for conduct or action.
Let's check sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior".
Let's check sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action".
I will go with sense 3.
Wait, let's re-read carefully: "new rules could be necessary to govern ways of communicating from courtrooms".
"govern ways of communicating" -> "prescribed guide for conduct or action".
Let's check if there is a better fit.
Sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior"
Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action"
I think sense 3 is the most accurate for "rules" that govern ways of communicating (i.e., conduct or action).
Let's double check.
"new rules could be necessary to govern ways of communicating"
"prescribed guide for conduct or action" fits perfectly.
Let's choose 3.
Wait, let's look at sense 1 again. "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior". "customarily" might not fit "new rules". "new rules" are not yet customary. They are prescribed guides. So sense 3 is better.
Yes, sense 3.
Let's review the options.
1. rule%1:09:00::
3. rule%1:10:00::
I will output 3.

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."
The phrase is "ways of communicating".
This refers to "how something is done or how it happens" (manner, mode, style, fashion).
Let's check the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=way%1:07:01:: | definition=how something is done or how it happens | synonyms=manner, mode, style, fashion | examples=her dignified manner; his rapid manner of talking
2. sense_key=way%1:04:01:: | definition=how a result is obtained or an end is achieved | synonyms=means, agency | examples=a means of control; an example is the best agency of instruction
3. sense_key=way%1:15:00:: | definition=a line leading to a place or point | synonyms=direction | examples=he looked the other direction; didn't know the way home
...
"ways of communicating" -> how something is done (manner, mode).
Wait, "ways of communicating" could be "means" (sense 2) or "manner" (sense 1).
Let's look at sense 1: "how something is done or how it happens" -> "ways of communicating" = "manner of communicating".
Let's look at sense 2: "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" -> "means of communicating".
Is "ways of communicating" closer to "manner" or "means"?
"govern ways of communicating" -> govern the manner in which communication happens, or the means of communication?
"new rules could be necessary to govern ways of communicating from courtrooms unimagined at the time of Dr. Sheppard's case."
This refers to the methods or manners of communicating (e.g., live-tweeting, blogging, etc.).
"ways" here is plural of "way" meaning "manner, mode, style, fashion".
Let's check WordNet for "way of communicating".
Actually, "way" as in "ways of doing something" is typically sense 1 (manner, mode).
"ways of communicating" -> "manner of communicating".
Let's consider "means" (sense 2). "Means of communicating" is a common phrase, but "ways of communicating" usually aligns with "manner" or "mode".
Let's re-read sense 1: "how something is done or how it happens" -> "ways of communicating" = "how communication is done".
Sense 2: "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" -> "means".
I will go with sense 1.
Wait, let's search for "ways of" in WordNet. "way" sense 1 has examples like "her dignified manner", "his rapid manner of talking". "ways of communicating" is very similar to "manner of talking".
Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's double check.
"govern ways of communicating" -> govern the manner in which people communicate.
Yes, 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's analyze the context: "a general reason for concern" means a justification or cause for concern.
Candidate senses:
1. a rational motive for a belief or action (ground)
2. an explanation of the cause of some phenomenon
3. the capacity for rational thought or inference or discrimination
4. the state of having good sense and sound judgment
5. a justification for something existing or happening (cause, grounds) - "they had good reason to rejoice"
6. a fact that logically justifies some premise or conclusion

"reason for concern" aligns well with sense 5: "a justification for something existing or happening" (synonyms: cause, grounds; example: "they had good reason to rejoice").
Wait, sense 1: "a rational motive for a belief or action" (synonym: ground; example: "the reason that war was declared").
Sense 5: "a justification for something existing or happening" (synonyms: cause, grounds; examples: "he had no cause to complain; they had good reason to rejoice").
"reason for concern" is very similar to "reason to rejoice" or "cause to complain".
Let's check sense 5. "a justification for something existing or happening".
Is it sense 5? Yes, "reason for concern" -> "justification for concern".
Let's double check sense 1 vs sense 5.
Sense 1: "a rational motive for a belief or action"
Sense 5: "a justification for something existing or happening"
"concern" is a state or feeling, so "justification for something existing or happening" fits "reason for concern".
Also, "they had good reason to rejoice" is exactly parallel to "reason for concern".
Therefore, sense 5 is the best fit.
Let's review the options.
1. reason%1:16:00::
5. reason%1:10:00::
"reason for concern" -> justification for concern.
I will choose 5.
Wait, let's look at sense 5 again: "a justification for something existing or happening".
Synonyms: cause, grounds.
Examples: "he had no cause to complain; they had good reason to rejoice".
This perfectly matches "reason for concern".
I'll output 5.

The target word is "concern" in the context: "There is a general reason for concern about the impact of the new media" in high-profile trials.
The context talks about the impact of new media on the fairness of trials, which is a source of anxiety or worry.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. something that interests you because it is important or affects you (e.g., the safety of the ship is the captain's concern)
2. an anxious feeling (care, fear)
3. a feeling of sympathy for someone or something
4. something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness (worry, headache, vexation) - "New York traffic is a constant concern; it's a major worry"
5. a commercial or industrial enterprise

Wait, "reason for concern" usually means a reason to be anxious or worried.
Is it sense 2 (an anxious feeling) or sense 4 (something that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness)?
"reason for concern" -> concern here is the feeling of anxiety or worry.
Let's check the examples.
Sense 2: "an anxious feeling" (care, fear)
Sense 4: "something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness" (worry, headache, vexation)
In "reason for concern", concern is the feeling itself. "There is a general reason for [an anxious feeling] about the impact..."
Wait, "concern" as "an anxious feeling" fits "reason for concern".
Let's re-read carefully: "There is a general reason for concern about the impact of the new media"
If concern is "an anxious feeling", then "reason for an anxious feeling".
If concern is "something that causes anxiety", then "reason for something that causes anxiety" - doesn't fit as well.
Let's check WordNet for "concern".
concern%1:12:01:: is "an anxious feeling" (care, fear).
concern%1:12:00:: is "a feeling of sympathy for someone or something".
concern%1:09:00:: is "something that interests you because it is important or affects you".
concern%1:09:01:: is "something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness".

"reason for concern" -> concern is the feeling of anxiety.
Let's see: "There is a general reason for concern" -> concern = anxious feeling.
Synonyms for sense 2: care, fear.
Synonyms for sense 4: worry, headache, vexation.
Is "concern" in "reason for concern" the feeling or the thing?
"reason for concern" = reason to be concerned. Concerned is an adjective meaning anxious. So concern is the anxious feeling.
Let's consider sense 2: "an anxious feeling".
Let's consider sense 4: "something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness". Example: "New York traffic is a constant concern". Here, traffic is the concern.
In "reason for concern", concern is the feeling. "There is a reason for [an anxious feeling]".
Therefore, sense 2 is the best fit.

Let's double check.
"reason for concern"
If I say "I have a concern", it could be sense 4 (a worry).
But "reason for concern" means "reason to feel anxious".
"concern" = an anxious feeling.
Let's look at similar phrases: "cause for concern", "reason for concern".
In WordNet, "concern" as "an anxious feeling" (sense 2) matches "cause for concern" or "reason for concern".
Wait, sense 2 is "an anxious feeling".
Let's check if there's any other sense.
Sense 1: something that interests you because it is important or affects you.
Sense 2: an anxious feeling.
Sense 4: something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness.

"There is a general reason for concern about the impact of the new media"
Could it be sense 2? Yes, "an anxious feeling".
Let's review the definition of sense 2: "an anxious feeling". Synonyms: care, fear.
Definition of sense 4: "something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness". Synonyms: worry, headache, vexation.
If "concern" is the thing causing anxiety, it would be "The new media is a concern".
But here it is "reason for concern", meaning "reason to have an anxious feeling".
So sense 2 is the most appropriate.

Let's test: "There is a general reason for [an anxious feeling] about the impact..." -> makes sense.
"There is a general reason for [something that causes anxiety] about the impact..." -> doesn't make as much sense.

I will choose sense 2.
Wait, let's look at the synonyms for sense 2: care, fear.
Synonyms for sense 4: worry, headache, vexation.
"concern" in "reason for concern" is often synonymous with "worry" (the feeling).
Is "worry" in sense 2 or 4? Sense 4 has "worry" as a synonym.
Wait, "worry" can be both a feeling and a thing.
But sense 4 says "something or someone that causes anxiety".
Sense 2 says "an anxious feeling".
"reason for concern" -> concern is the feeling.
I'll go with 2.
Let's re-read the context: "There is a general reason for concern about the impact of the new media"
Yes, concern = anxious feeling.
I will output 2.

Target lemma: impact
Target surface form: impact
Context:
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 context: "There is a general reason for concern about the impact of the new media in high-profile trials".
The context discusses the effect or consequence of new media on high-profile trials.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. impact%1:11:00:: - the striking of one body against another (physical)
2. impact%1:19:00:: - a forceful consequence; a strong effect (synonyms: wallop, examples: the book had an important impact on my thinking)
3. impact%1:04:00:: - influencing strongly (synonyms: impingement, encroachment, examples: they resented the impingement of American values on European culture)
4. impact%1:04:01:: - the violent interaction of individuals or groups entering into combat (synonyms: shock)

Wait, "impact of the new media" - is it "a forceful consequence; a strong effect" (sense 2) or "influencing strongly" (sense 3)?
Let's check the examples. "the book had an important impact on my thinking" matches "impact of the new media".
Sense 2: "a forceful consequence; a strong effect"
Sense 3: "influencing strongly" (impingement, encroachment)

In the context, "concern about the impact of the new media" means the effect or consequence of the new media.
Let's see: "impact" as a noun.
Sense 2: a forceful consequence; a strong effect.
Sense 3: influencing strongly.
Is "impact" here a noun meaning "a strong effect"? Yes.
"concern about the impact of the new media" -> the effect of the new media.
Let's check WordNet for "impact".
impact n
1. the striking of one body against another
2. a forceful consequence; a strong effect ("the book had an important impact on my thinking"; "the book packs a wallop")
3. influencing strongly ("they resented the impingement of American values on European culture")
4. the violent interaction of individuals or groups entering into combat

"impact of the new media" -> "a forceful consequence; a strong effect".
Let's consider "influencing strongly". "impingement" is more about encroaching.
"impact" in "impact of the new media" is definitely sense 2.
Let's double check. "concern about the impact of the new media" -> the effect.
Sense 2 is "a forceful consequence; a strong effect".
I will choose 2.
Wait, let's re-read the context. "There is a general reason for concern about the impact of the new media in high-profile trials".
This is exactly "a strong effect".
I'll output 2.

The phrase is "the idea that limiting instant communication from courtrooms might make trials fairer."
This refers to a thought, a concept, or the content of cognition.
Let's check the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=idea%1:09:00:: | definition=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

"the idea that limiting instant communication from courtrooms might make trials fairer" is a thought or concept, the content of cognition.
Sense 1 fits best: "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about".
Let's double check sense 3: "a personal view". "he has an idea that we don't like him". Here, it's not just a personal view, it's a proposition or thought that judges might be intrigued by. "intrigued by the idea that..." is a classic example of "idea" as a thought or concept (content of cognition).
Therefore, sense 1 is the best match.
Let's review the examples for sense 1: "it was not a good idea; the thought never entered my mind".
Yes, "the idea that..." is a thought.
I will output {"sense_index": 1}.

The context refers to the activity of conveying information (instant communication, like tweeting from courtrooms).
Sense 1: the activity of communicating; the activity of conveying information. Synonyms: communicating. Examples: they could not act without official communication from Moscow.
Sense 2: something that is communicated by or to or between people or groups.
Sense 3: a connection allowing access between persons or places.

"limiting instant communication from courtrooms" refers to the activity of communicating (e.g., tweeting, sending messages).

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."
The context discusses legal arguments, concerns about the impact of new media, and points that lawyers will argue.
"issue" here means an important question or point in dispute that must be settled, or a topic/subject.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=issue%1:09:01:: | definition=an important question that is in dispute and must be settled | examples=the issue could be settled by requiring public education for everyone; politicians never discuss the real issues
3. sense_key=issue%1:09:00:: | definition=some situation or event that is thought about | synonyms=topic, subject, matter | examples=he kept drifting off the topic; he had been thinking about the subject for several years

Wait, "The Twitter issue is just one of many outlined by Mr. Hayes's lawyers that are likely to be argued for years..."
Is it sense 1 (an important question that is in dispute and must be settled) or sense 3 (some situation or event that is thought about)?
"argued for years" implies it is in dispute and must be settled.
Let's check the examples for sense 1: "the issue could be settled by requiring public education for everyone; politicians never discuss the real issues".
This perfectly matches "argued for years, delaying an execution" and "outlined by Mr. Hayes's lawyers".
Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.

Let's double check sense 1 vs sense 3.
Sense 1: an important question that is in dispute and must be settled.
Sense 3: some situation or event that is thought about.
The lawyers are arguing it, so it's in dispute. "The Twitter issue" refers to the question of whether limiting instant communication from courtrooms might make trials fairer, which is a point of dispute.
So sense 1 is the most appropriate.
Let's review the prompt: "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}."
I will return {"sense_index": 1}.
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."
"argued for years" -> in dispute.
"settled" -> delaying an execution (until it's settled).
Matches sense 1 perfectly.

4. sense_key=year%1:14:00:: | definition=a body of students who graduate together | synonyms=class | examples=the class of '97; she was in my year at Hoehandle High

The context "argued for years" means a duration of multiple 365-day periods. This matches sense 1.
Sense 1 is the best fit.
Double check: "argued for years" -> duration of time. Sense 1 is "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days".
Yes, sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "reactions" in the context: "The defense lawyers also claim, for example, that Mr. Hayes may have been prejudiced when Judge Blue declined to allow them to test potential jurors' reactions by showing them grisly crime-scene photographs during jury selection."
The context is about testing potential jurors' responses or feelings/attitudes to grisly crime-scene photographs.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. chemical reaction
2. an idea evoked by some experience
3. a bodily process occurring due to the effect of some antecedent stimulus or agent (response)
4. mechanics: equal and opposite force
5. a response that reveals a person's feelings or attitude (e.g., audience's reaction to his performance)
6. extreme conservatism
7. doing something in opposition to another way of doing it

Sense 5 fits perfectly: "a response that reveals a person's feelings or attitude". The jurors' reactions to the photographs would reveal their feelings or attitudes (e.g., being horrified, prejudiced).
Let's double check sense 3 vs sense 5.
Sense 3: "a bodily process occurring due to the effect of some antecedent stimulus or agent" (e.g., bad reaction to medicine).
Sense 5: "a response that reveals a person's feelings or attitude" (e.g., pleased by the audience's reaction).
Testing potential jurors' reactions to grisly photographs is about their feelings or attitudes (whether they would be prejudiced or horrified).
Therefore, sense 5 is the best fit.
Let's review the context again: "test potential jurors' reactions by showing them grisly crime-scene photographs". This is to see how they feel or what their attitude is, to check for prejudice.
Sense 5: "a response that reveals a person's feelings or attitude".
Matches perfectly.
