Target lemma: year
Target surface form: year
Context:
Because the poll has been taken regularly since 1995, it tracks changes in attitude across the region. Two related things stand out in the results of this year's poll, taken in September and early October. The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood. The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions. Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1). For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this <t>year</t>. It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year.

    *   Sense 5 (what is produced in a given time period) is similar to Sense 4, but Sense 4 specifically mentions "quantity" and "commodity" (or in this case, economic output), and the example provided is a direct match for economic reporting.

    *   Sense 4: "the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time)"

    *   Comparing the two, Sense 4 is the standard definition for economic output (GDP/production levels).

    *   Sense 4 is the most precise fit for economic production levels over a period of time.

Target lemma: country
Target surface form: countries
Context:
The first is Latin America's fairly sunny mood. The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions. Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1). For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year. It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year. But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous <t>countries</t>, are convinced democrats, which drags down the regional average (see chart 2). Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same figure as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3).

    *   Context: "...Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous <t>countries</t>, are convinced democrats..."
    *   Surrounding context: Mentions Latin America, democracy, core institutions, Peru, Mexico, Brazil, regional average.

    *   Sense 1: `country%1:14:00::` - a politically organized body of people under a single government (state, nation).
    *   Sense 2: `country%1:15:00::` - the territory occupied by a nation (state, land).
    *   Sense 3: `country%1:14:01::` - the people who live in a nation or country (nation, land).

    *   Sense 5: `country%1:15:02::` - a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary.

    *   The sentence refers to Mexico and Brazil as "the region's two most populous countries".
    *   "Populous" refers to the number of people living in a place.
    *   Mexico and Brazil are sovereign states/nations.
    *   Sense 1 (politically organized body) and Sense 2 (territory) are very close.
    *   However, when talking about "populous countries", we are usually referring to the political entity (the state/nation) as a whole, which includes its people and government.
    *   Let's look at the examples:
        *   Sense 1: "African nations", "the state has elected a new president".
        *   Sense 2: "he visited several European countries", "the land of his birth".
    *   In the context of "populous countries", it's describing the political entities (states) of Mexico and Brazil.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 2: Sense 1 is the political organization (the state), Sense 2 is the physical territory. "Populous" describes the population within the state.
    *   Usually, in these WSD tasks, "country" as a sovereign state is mapped to Sense 1 (politically organized body) unless the focus is specifically on the land/geography.
    *   Wait, let's re-examine Sense 1 vs Sense 2.
        *   Sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" (Synonyms: state, nation).
        *   Sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation" (Synonyms: state, land).
    *   "Populous countries" refers to the nations/states.
    *   Looking at the context: "Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim... Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries..."
    *   This is clearly referring to the sovereign states.
    *   Between 1 and 2, Sense 1 is the more comprehensive definition of a "country" as a political entity.

    *   Sense 1: Political entity (state/nation).
    *   Sense 2: Physical territory.
    *   Sense 3: The people.
    *   Sense 4: Rural area.
    *   Sense 5: Geographical region.
    *   "Populous countries" refers to the states/nations. Sense 1 fits best.

    *   Sense 1: "African nations" (Example).
    *   Sense 2: "visited several European countries" (Example).
    *   The phrase "most populous countries" is very similar to "African nations" in terms of referring to the political entities.

    *   Sense 1: `country%1:14:00::`
    *   Sense 2: `country%1:15:00::`
    *   Sense 3: `country%1:14:01::`
    *   Sense 4: `country%1:15:01::`
    *   Sense 5: `country%1:15:02::`
    *   The index for Sense 1 is 1.

    *   Sense 3: "an intermediate scale value regarded as normal or usual". This refers to being "average" in height or a "below average" snowfall (meaning typical/normal).

The second is the increasing stability of attitudes towards democracy and its core institutions. Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1). For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year.

    *   Context: "...the same figure as last year but a big <t>increase</t> on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3)."
    *   Sentence analysis: The sentence compares a current figure (44%) to a previous figure (25% in 2001). The word "increase" refers to the difference or the growth between these two percentages.

    *   Sense 1: `a quantity that is added` (addition, gain). Example: "addition to property taxes". (Focuses on the thing added).
    *   Sense 2: `a change resulting in an increase`. Example: "the increase is scheduled for next month". (Focuses on the event/change itself).
    *   Sense 3: `a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important` (increment, growth). Example: "the increase in unemployment". (Focuses on the process/trend).
    *   Sense 4: `the amount by which something increases` (increment). Example: "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare". (Focuses on the specific amount/magnitude of the change).
    *   Sense 5: `the act of increasing something` (step-up). Example: "he gave me an increase in salary". (Focuses on the action/act).

    *   The context says "a big increase on the 25% in 2001".
    *   It is comparing 44% to 25%.
    *   The "increase" here is the difference (19 percentage points).
    *   Sense 4 ("the amount by which something increases") fits perfectly because it describes the magnitude of the change from 25% to 44%.
    *   Sense 3 ("a process of becoming larger") describes the general trend, but "a big increase on [number]" usually refers to the amount of the increase.
    *   Sense 2 ("a change resulting in an increase") is too generic.
    *   Sense 1 ("a quantity that is added") is more about a specific addition (like a tax).
    *   Sense 5 ("the act of increasing") is an action, not a result/amount.

    *   "a big increase on the 25% in 2001"
    *   This phrasing emphasizes the gap/amount between the current figure and the old figure.
    *   Sense 4: "the amount by which something increases". Example: "an increase of 15 percent".
    *   This matches the usage of comparing two percentages.

    *   The sentence is "Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government".
    *   This refers to the public's trust or belief in the reliability/competence of political institutions.
    *   Sense 1 (self-confidence) is incorrect.
    *   Sense 4 (trustful relationship/secret sharing) is incorrect.
    *   Sense 5 (secret) is incorrect.
    *   Comparing Sense 2 and Sense 3:
        *   Sense 2: "a feeling of trust (in someone or something)". Example: "I have confidence in our team".
        *   Sense 3: "a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable". Example: "public confidence in the economy".

    *   "Confidence in their country's Congress" and "confidence in their government" are expressions of trust in the institutions' ability to function or act in the public interest.
    *   While Sense 3 mentions "public confidence in the economy", which is similar to "public confidence in government", Sense 2 is the broader definition of "trust in someone or something".
    *   However, in the context of polling and public opinion regarding institutions (like Congress or the economy), "confidence" often aligns with the "hopefulness/trust in future performance" aspect (Sense 3).
    *   Let's look closer at Sense 2: "a feeling of trust (in someone or something)".
    *   Let's look closer at Sense 3: "a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable".
    *   Usually, "confidence in government" is treated as trust (Sense 2). "Confidence in the economy" is often treated as a prediction of favorable outcomes (Sense 3).
    *   Wait, let's re-read the examples.
        *   Sense 2: "I have confidence in our team" (Trust).
        *   Sense 3: "public confidence in the economy" (Hopefulness/Expectation).
    *   In the context of "confidence in their country's Congress", it's more about trust in the institution than a specific hope that a particular event will be favorable. It's a general feeling of trust.

    *   Sense 2: Trust in someone/something.
    *   Sense 3: Hopefulness that events will be favorable.
    *   "Confidence in Congress" is generally a measure of trust.

    *Self-Correction:* Let's look at how these are typically distinguished in WordNet-based tasks. "Confidence in the economy" is the classic example for Sense 3. "Confidence in the government" can be either, but it's more fundamentally trust. However, often in these datasets, "public confidence" in institutions is mapped to the "hopefulness/economic" sense if it's about the *state* of the public's mood. But "having confidence in" usually points to Sense 2.

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 2 vs Sense 3.
    Sense 2: "a feeling of trust (in someone or something)"
    Sense 3: "a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable"

    "Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress..."
    This is a feeling of trust in the institution.

    Let's check if "confidence in government" is more like "confidence in the economy".
    Confidence in the economy = belief that the economy will do well.
    Confidence in government = belief that the government is doing a good job or is trustworthy.

    Sense 2 seems more fitting for "trust in an institution".

    *Wait*, let me double-check the WordNet hierarchy if possible.
    Confidence (trust) -> Sense 2.
    Confidence (hopefulness) -> Sense 3.

    In many corpora, "confidence in [political institution]" is categorized as trust.

    Let's look at the context again: "Some 44% of respondents... pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works... Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress..."
    This is about trust/satisfaction.

    Sense 2: "a feeling of trust (in someone or something)"
    Sense 3: "a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable"

    If I say "I have confidence in the doctor", that's Sense 2.
    If I say "Consumer confidence is low", that's Sense 3.
    "Confidence in Congress" is closer to "I have confidence in the doctor" (trust in the entity) than "Consumer confidence" (hope for the future).

    Therefore, Sense 2 is the best fit.

    *Wait*, let me search for "confidence in government" in WordNet sense examples.
    Actually, "public confidence" is often associated with Sense 3.
    Let's re-read Sense 3: "a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable".
    Is "confidence in Congress" a hope that events will be favorable? Not necessarily. It's a trust in the institution.

    Let's re-examine Sense 2: "a feeling of trust (in someone or something)".
    This fits perfectly.

    Sense 1: Self-confidence (No)
    Sense 2: Trust in someone/something (Yes)
    Sense 3: Hopefulness for favorable events (Maybe, but less likely than 2)
    Sense 4: Trustful relationship (No)
    Sense 5: Secret (No)

    Comparing 2 and 3 again.
    Sense 2: "I have confidence in our team"
    Sense 3: "public confidence in the economy"
    "Confidence in their country's Congress" is very similar to "confidence in our team".

    Final choice: Sense 2.

Target lemma: congress
Target surface form: Congress
Context:
Support for democracy has risen noticeably in several countries on the Pacific rim of South America (see table 1). For example in Peru, where economic growth has averaged 6% a year since 2002, support for democracy has risen from a low of 40% in 2005 to 61% this year. It also rose in Mexico, where the economy has recovered after suffering a big drop in output last year. But only around half of respondents in Mexico and Brazil, the region's two most populous countries, are convinced democrats, which drags down the regional average (see chart 2). Some 44% of respondents across the region pronounced themselves satisfied with how their country's democracy works in practice, the same figure as last year but a big increase on the 25% in 2001 (chart 3). Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's <t>Congress</t> and 45% in their government, the same as last year in both cases but up sharply from 2003 (17% and 24% respectively). A decade ago economic woes in Latin America undermined support for democracy.

    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `government%1:14:00::`: the organization that is the governing authority of a political unit (synonyms: authorities, regime).

        3.  `government%1:09:00::`: the system or form by which a community or other political unit is governed.
        4.  `government%1:09:01::`: the study of government of states and other political units (synonyms: politics, political science).

    *   The sentence compares confidence in "their country's Congress" and "their government".
    *   "Congress" is a specific body/organization within the government.
    *   "Confidence in their government" usually refers to the current administration or the governing body/organization in power, rather than the abstract system of government (democracy, etc.) or the act of governing.
    *   In the context of polling (confidence levels), people typically express confidence in the *people* or *organization* running the country (the administration/government) and the legislative body (Congress).

    *   Sense 1: "the organization that is the governing authority of a political unit". This fits well. People have confidence in the organization/administration.
    *   Sense 2: "the act of governing". One doesn't usually have "confidence in the act of governing" in this specific phrasing (confidence in the government vs. confidence in the act of governing).
    *   Sense 3: "the system or form by which a community... is governed". The text already mentions "support for democracy" (the system). It distinguishes between support for democracy (the system) and confidence in the government (the organization/administration).
    *   Sense 4: "the study of government". Clearly incorrect.

    *   The text says: "Support for democracy has risen... Some 44%... satisfied with how their country's democracy works... Some 34% said they had confidence in their country's Congress and 45% in their government".
    *   "Democracy" = the system (Sense 3).
    *   "Congress" = a specific institution.
    *   "Government" = the executive branch or the governing body (Sense 1).

    *   Sense 1 is the best fit.
