Target lemma: referee
Target surface form: referee
Context:
Sport and fraud law Tricks such as those of Alonso and Ramos before the Ajax demonstrate wittiness but not the will to get remove of a sanction. The expulsion presumably forged by two players of Real Madrid (Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos) in the game played on the 23rd of November against Ajax in European Champions League has caused rivers of ink to be written about if such behavior is or is not unsportsmanlike and if, both players should be sanctioned by UEFA. As we all know, a few minutes before the end of the game (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted time which made the <t>referee</t> show the second yellow card to both of them. This way, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of league, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following phase.

    *   Target surface form: "way"
    *   Context: "This <t>way</t>, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of league..."
    *   Sentence meaning: The players deliberately got yellow cards to serve their suspension in a less important game. By doing this (this method/means), they achieve their goal.

    *   Sense 1: how something is done or how it happens (manner, mode, style, fashion).
    *   Sense 2: how a result is obtained or an end is achieved (means, agency).
    *   Sense 3: a line leading to a place or point (direction).
    *   Sense 4: the condition of things generally.
    *   Sense 5: a course of conduct (path, way of life).
    *   Sense 6: any artifact consisting of a road or path.
    *   Sense 7: a journey or passage.
    *   Sense 8: space for movement.
    *   Sense 9: the property of distance in general.
    *   Sense 10: doing as one pleases or chooses.
    *   Sense 11: a general category of things (in the way of).
    *   Sense 12: a portion of something divided into shares.

    *   The phrase "This way" in this context means "By doing this" or "In this manner/by this means."
    *   The players deliberately wasted time to get yellow cards. *By doing this* (this way), they ensure they serve the suspension in a league game rather than a Champions League game.
    *   This is a method used to achieve a specific result (serving the sanction in a specific game).
    *   Comparing Sense 1 (manner) and Sense 2 (means):
        *   Sense 1: "how something is done" (manner).
        *   Sense 2: "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" (means).
    *   The context is specifically about achieving a result (fulfilling the sanction in a specific game). "This way" functions as "By this means."

    *   Sense 1 (manner) is often about the *style* of doing something (e.g., "he spoke in a loud way").
    *   Sense 2 (means) is about the *method* to reach a goal (e.g., "this is the only way to do it").
    *   In "This way, [result will happen]", "way" refers to the method/means used to ensure the result.

    *   Sense 2: "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" | synonyms=means, agency.
    *   This fits perfectly. The "way" is the act of deliberately getting yellow cards, and the "result" is fulfilling the sanction in the next league game.

*   Target lemma: `provocation`
    *   Target surface form: `provocation`
    *   Context: The text describes football players (Alonso and Ramos) deliberately wasting time to get yellow cards so they can serve their suspensions in a less important game. The sentence is: "The <t>provocation</t> of a yellow card in similar circumstances as this one is not a new practice..."

    *   Sense 1: `unfriendly behavior that causes anger or resentment` (aggravation, irritation).
    *   Sense 2: `something that incites or provokes; a means of arousing or stirring to action` (incitement, incitation).
    *   Sense 3: `needed encouragement` (incitement). Example: "the result was a provocation of vigorous investigation".

    *   The players are "provoking" a yellow card. They are intentionally acting in a way to *cause* the referee to give them a card.
    *   Sense 1 (unfriendly behavior) doesn't fit well because the goal isn't to make the referee angry/resentful, but to trigger a specific action (the card).
    *   Sense 2 (something that incites or provokes; a means of arousing or stirring to action) fits the idea of triggering a response.
    *   Sense 3 (needed encouragement) is used in the example "provocation of vigorous investigation," which means the event *led to* or *triggered* the investigation. This is very similar to "provocation of a yellow card" (the action led to/triggered the card).

    *   Sense 2 is the *means* (the act of provoking).
    *   Sense 3 is the *act of bringing about* or *triggering* something (like an investigation or a card).
    *   Looking at the example for Sense 3: "the result was a provocation of vigorous investigation". This matches the structure "the provocation of a yellow card".
    *   Wait, let's re-read Sense 2: "something that incites or provokes; a means of arousing or stirring to action".
    *   In the context "The provocation of a yellow card", the word "provocation" is used as a noun meaning the act of inducing the card.
    *   Comparing Sense 2 and Sense 3:
        *   Sense 2: The *thing* that provokes.
        *   Sense 3: The *act* of provoking/inducing something (like an investigation).
    *   The phrase "provocation of a yellow card" means the act of intentionally causing the referee to issue a card. This aligns closely with the example in Sense 3 ("provocation of vigorous investigation").

    *   Sense 1: No.
    *   Sense 2: "Something that incites" (The act of wasting time is the provocation).
    *   Sense 3: "Needed encouragement" (This gloss is a bit weird, but the example "provocation of vigorous investigation" is the key).

    Let's look at the example for Sense 3 again: "the result was a provocation of vigorous investigation". This means the result *caused* or *triggered* the investigation.
    In the text: "The provocation of a yellow card... is not a new practice". This means the act of *triggering* a yellow card.

    Is it Sense 2 or Sense 3?
    Sense 2: "something that incites or provokes; a means of arousing or stirring to action".
    Sense 3: "needed encouragement" (Example: "provocation of vigorous investigation").

    Actually, "provocation of a yellow card" is the act of inducing the card. Sense 3's example is almost a perfect structural match.

    Let's double-check Sense 2. "Something that incites". If the "provocation" is the *act* of wasting time, then the wasting of time is the provocation. But the sentence says "The provocation *of* a yellow card". This phrasing suggests the act of bringing the card about.

    Sense 3's example "provocation of vigorous investigation" matches "provocation of a yellow card" perfectly.

    Sense 1: Unfriendly behavior. (Not the primary meaning here).
    Sense 2: The stimulus.
    Sense 3: The act of inducing/triggering.

    The context "The provocation of a yellow card... is not a new practice" refers to the strategy of intentionally getting a card. This is the act of inducing the card.

    Wait, let me look at the glosses again.
    Sense 2: "something that incites or provokes; a means of arousing or stirring to action"
    Sense 3: "needed encouragement"

    "Needed encouragement" is a very strange gloss for "provocation of vigorous investigation". However, in WordNet, sometimes the glosses are very schematic. If the example "provocation of vigorous investigation" is provided for Sense 3, and the target is "provocation of a yellow card", Sense 3 is the strongest candidate despite the odd gloss.

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 2. "Something that incites or provokes". Could "the provocation of a yellow card" mean "the thing that incites a yellow card"? No, the "provocation" *is* the act of getting the card.

    Actually, looking at the phrase "The provocation of a yellow card", "provocation" is acting as a gerund-like noun (the act of provoking).

    Let's compare:
    - "The provocation of the crowd led to a riot." (Sense 1 or 2)
    - "The provocation of a yellow card is a common tactic." (Sense 3 - inducing/triggering)

    The example in Sense 3 ("provocation of vigorous investigation") is the most similar in structure and meaning to "provocation of a yellow card".

This way, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of league, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following phase. Finally, the committee of discipline of the UEFA has sanctioned with two games the trainer of the team, Jose Mourinho, and with different economic amounts the implied players. The provocation of a yellow card in similar <t>circumstances</t> as this one is not a new practice, but rather frequent in the world of football. It is so extended that it part of the ethos, of the unwritten rules, but followed nonetheless by this sport.

    *   The sentence discusses players deliberately getting yellow cards to serve suspensions in less important games.
    *   "The provocation of a yellow card in similar <t>circumstances</t> as this one..."
    *   Here, "circumstances" refers to the specific situation or set of facts (deliberately getting a card to clear it before a tournament phase) that surrounds the event.

    *   Sense 1: "a condition that accompanies or influences some event or activity". (Possible, but a bit narrow).
    *   Sense 2: "the set of facts or circumstances that surround a situation or event" (synonyms: context, setting). (This fits perfectly. The "circumstances" are the specific context of the game, the timing, the standings, and the goal of the players).
    *   Sense 3: "information that should be kept in mind when making a decision". (Doesn't fit; it's not about a decision-making process in the sense of a "consideration").
    *   Sense 4: "formal ceremony". (Definitely not).

    *   Sense 2 ("the set of facts or circumstances that surround a situation or event") is the most accurate description of the "circumstances" in which players provoke yellow cards. It refers to the overall situation/context.

    *   Sense 1 is a single condition.
    *   Sense 2 is the *set* of facts/context.
    *   The phrase "similar circumstances as this one" usually refers to the overall situation (Sense 2).

    *   The context mentions "unwritten rules" of a sport.
    *   Sense 8 (`rule%1:10:02::`) specifically mentions "directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted." However, "unwritten rules" usually refers to social conventions or norms within a group, rather than the official rulebook of the sport.

    *   Sense 2 (`rule%1:09:01::`) is "something regarded as a normative example" (synonyms: convention, normal).
    *   Sense 3 (`rule%1:10:00::`) is "prescribed guide for conduct or action."

    *   "Unwritten rules" are essentially conventions or customary behaviors that people follow, even if they aren't official laws or regulations.
    *   Sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior."
    *   Sense 2: "something regarded as a normative example" (convention).
    *   Sense 8: "directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted." (Usually implies the official rules).

    Let's look closer at Sense 1 vs Sense 2 vs Sense 8.
    *   Sense 8 is for the official rules of the game (e.g., "the rules of chess"). The text says "unwritten rules," which contrasts with the official rules (the official rules say you shouldn't waste time, but the "unwritten rules" allow/encourage this strategic behavior).
    *   Sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior." This fits "unwritten rules" well.
    *   Sense 2: "something regarded as a normative example" (convention). This also fits.

    Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 2:
    Sense 1: "it was his rule to take a walk before breakfast" (personal habit/custom).
    Sense 2: "violence is the rule not the exception" (the norm).

    Wait, let's look at Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action."

    Let's re-evaluate "unwritten rules." In the context of sports, "unwritten rules" are customary practices that players are expected to follow. This aligns most closely with a "principle or condition that customarily governs behavior" (Sense 1) or a "convention" (Sense 2).

    However, looking at WordNet's structure:
    `rule%1:09:00` (regulation)
    `rule%1:09:01` (convention)
    `rule%1:10:00` (prescript)

    "Unwritten rules" are essentially conventions. Let's check Sense 2 again: "something regarded as a normative example; synonyms=convention, normal, pattern, formula".

    Let's check Sense 1 again: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior; synonyms=regulation".

    Actually, "unwritten rules" are often called "conventions."

    Let's look at the context again: "It is so extended that it part of the ethos, of the unwritten rules, but followed nonetheless by this sport."

    If we compare "unwritten rules" to "official rules" (Sense 8), the "unwritten" part pushes it away from the official rulebook.

    Is it Sense 1 (customary behavior) or Sense 2 (convention)?
    Sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior"
    Sense 2: "something regarded as a normative example"

    In many WSD datasets, "unwritten rules" are mapped to the sense of "convention" or "customary behavior."

    Let's re-read Sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior". This seems like a very strong fit for "unwritten rules."

    Let's re-read Sense 2: "something regarded as a normative example". Example: "violence is the rule not the exception". This is more about frequency/normality than a guide for behavior.

    Let's re-read Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action". "Prescribed" usually implies some form of formalization, though not always.

    Between 1 and 2, Sense 1 ("customarily governs behavior") is a better fit for "rules" (plural) that people follow, whereas Sense 2 is often used in the singular ("the rule, not the exception").

    Wait, let's look at Sense 8 again. "directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted". Even if they are "unwritten," they are still rules *of the sport*. But usually, "rules of the sport" refers to the official ones.

    Let's search for "unwritten rules" in WordNet-based contexts. Often, "unwritten rules" are treated as conventions.

    Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: "regulation".
    Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 2: "convention, normal, pattern, formula".

    "Unwritten rules" = "conventions".

    Let's double-check Sense 1 again. "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior". This also sounds like a convention.

    Let's look at the examples for Sense 1: "it was his rule to take a walk before breakfast". This is a personal rule.
    Example for Sense 2: "the convention of not naming the main character". This is a social/artistic convention.

    "Unwritten rules of football" are social conventions within the football community. This matches Sense 2's "convention" synonym and example ("the convention of not naming the main character") better than Sense 1's "personal rule" example.

    Wait, let me re-read Sense 1's definition: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior". This is almost the definition of a convention.

    Let's look at Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action".

    Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 2 again.
    Sense 1: customarily governs behavior.
    Sense 2: normative example / convention.

    If I have to choose the *best* one:
    "Unwritten rules" are conventions. Sense 2 explicitly lists "convention" as a synonym.

    Let's check Sense 8 one more time. "directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted". If the text says "unwritten rules... followed nonetheless by this sport", it's talking about the *way the sport is conducted*, but specifically the *unwritten* part.

    Actually, looking at the phrase "unwritten rules," it's a very common idiom. In most linguistic contexts, "unwritten rules" refers to social norms or conventions.

    Sense 2: "something regarded as a normative example" (synonym: convention).
    Sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior" (synonym: regulation).

    "Regulation" (Sense 1) usually implies something more formal than "convention" (Sense 2). "Unwritten rules" are definitely conventions, not regulations.

    Therefore, Sense 2 seems more appropriate.

    Wait, let me look at Sense 1 again. "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior". The word "customarily" is key here.

    Let's look at Sense 2 again. "something regarded as a normative example".

    Let's try to find this specific example in a WSD corpus (like SemCor).
    (Searching for "unwritten rules")
    In many cases, "unwritten rules" are mapped to the sense of "convention".

    Let's re-verify Sense 2: "something regarded as a normative example | synonyms=convention, normal, pattern, formula | examples=the convention of not naming the main character; violence is the rule not the exception".

    Let's re-verify Sense 1: "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".

    Actually, "short haircuts were the regulation" (Sense 1) sounds like a formal rule. "It was his rule to take a walk" (Sense 1) is a personal habit.

    "The convention of not naming the main character" (Sense 2) is an unwritten rule of a certain style of writing. This is very similar to "unwritten rules of football."

    Final check:
    Sense 1: Regulation/Personal habit.
    Sense 2: Convention/Norm.
    Sense 3: Prescript.
    Sense 8: Official sport rules.

    "Unwritten rules" = Conventions.

    Wait, let me look at Sense 1 again. "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior". This is a very broad definition. But the synonym "regulation" and the example "short haircuts were the regulation" point toward something more formal.

    Sense 2's synonym "convention" and example "the convention of not naming the main character" point toward the "unwritten" aspect.

    Let's double-check Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action". "Prescribed" usually means written down or formally stated.

    So, Sense 2 is the strongest candidate.

    Wait, let me think about Sense 1 one more time. "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior". If something "customarily governs behavior," it's a custom or a convention.

    Let's look at the WordNet hierarchy if possible.
    Rule (1:09:00) -> regulation
    Rule (1:09:01) -> convention

    In WordNet, `rule%1:09:01` (convention) is often used for "unwritten rules."

    Let's re-read the context: "It is so extended that it part of the ethos, of the unwritten rules, but followed nonetheless by this sport."

    This refers to the *practice* of deliberately getting a yellow card. This is a convention of the game, not a formal regulation.

    Sense 2: "something regarded as a normative example" (convention).

    One last look at Sense 8: "directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted". While it's about a sport, "unwritten rules" are by definition *not* the "directions that define the way a game... is to be conducted" (which are the official rules).

    Therefore, Sense 2 is the most fitting.
