Target lemma: issue
Target surface form: issues
Context:
Prior to 1932, the pattern was nearly the opposite. What accounts for the results of recent decades? A simple economic theory may provide at least a partial explanation for the split personality displayed by Americans in the voting booth. The theory relies on three assumptions: 1 -RRB- Voters can "buy "one of two brands when they select their political agents -- a Republican brand that believes in the minimalist state and in the virtues of private markets over the vices of public action, and a Democratic brand that believes in big government and in public intervention to remedy the excesses attendant to the pursuit of private interest. 2 -RRB- Congressional representatives have two basic responsibilities while voting in office -- dealing with national issues -LRB- programmatic actions such as casting roll call votes on legislation that imposes costs and/or confers benefits on the population at large -RRB- and attending to local <t>issues</t> -LRB- constituency service and pork barrel -RRB-. 3 -RRB- Republican congressional representatives, because of their belief in a minimalist state, are less willing to engage in local benefit-seeking than are Democratic members of Congress.

    *   Context: "...Congressional representatives have two basic responsibilities while voting in office -- dealing with national issues -LRB- programmatic actions such as casting roll call votes on legislation that imposes costs and/or confers benefits on the population at large -RRB- and attending to local <t>issues</t> -LRB- constituency service and pork barrel -RRB-."

    *   Sense 1: `issue%1:09:01::` - an important question that is in dispute and must be settled (e.g., "politicians never discuss the real issues").
    *   Sense 2: `issue%1:10:00::` - one of a series published periodically (e.g., "issue of the magazine").
    *   Sense 3: `issue%1:09:00::` - some situation or event that is thought about (synonyms: topic, subject, matter).
    *   Sense 4: `issue%1:04:01::` - the act of providing an item for general use (e.g., "issue of stamps").

    *   Sense 11: `issue%1:04:00::` - the act of issuing printed materials (synonyms: publication).

    *   The context mentions "national issues" and "local issues".
    *   "National issues" are described as "programmatic actions such as casting roll call votes on legislation".
    *   "Local issues" are described as "constituency service and pork barrel".
    *   In this political context, "issues" refers to the topics, subjects, or matters that politicians deal with.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and 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" (synonyms: topic, subject, matter).
    *   "National issues" (legislation) and "local issues" (constituency service) are the *topics* or *matters* of their responsibilities. While some might be "disputed questions" (Sense 1), "constituency service" (helping a citizen with a government agency) is more of a "matter" or "topic" of work than a "disputed question that must be settled".
    *   However, in political science, "issues" usually refers to the subjects of debate or the matters of policy.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 1: "politicians never discuss the real issues". This fits the "national issues" part very well.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 3: "he kept drifting off the topic".
    *   Wait, "constituency service and pork barrel" are listed as examples of "local issues". Constituency service isn't necessarily a "disputed question that must be settled" (Sense 1), but it is a "matter" or "topic" (Sense 3) of their work.
    *   But "national issues" (legislation) are often "disputed questions".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 1: "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 3: "some situation or event that is thought about" (topic, subject, matter).
    *   In the phrase "dealing with national issues" and "attending to local issues", "issues" is used broadly to mean the matters or subjects they handle.
    *   Looking at the provided examples for Sense 1: "politicians never discuss the real issues". This is almost identical to the context.
    *   Looking at the provided examples for Sense 3: "he kept drifting off the topic".
    *   Usually, in these datasets, "political issues" maps to the "disputed question" sense (Sense 1). Let's double-check if "constituency service" fits Sense 1. Not really. But "pork barrel" (securing funds for local projects) often involves competing interests and decisions that must be settled.
    *   Actually, looking at the structure: "national issues -LRB- programmatic actions... -RRB- and attending to local issues -LRB- constituency service and pork barrel -RRB-".
    *   The author is defining "issues" in this specific context. "National issues" = programmatic actions/legislation. "Local issues" = constituency service/pork barrel.
    *   Both of these are "matters" or "topics" of their job.
    *   Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 3 again.
        *   Sense 1: "important question... in dispute... must be settled".
        *   Sense 3: "situation or event that is thought about... topic, subject, matter".
    *   "Constituency service" is definitely a "matter" (Sense 3) rather than a "disputed question" (Sense 1).
    *   However, "national issues" (legislation) are typically "disputed questions".
    *   If I have to choose the *best* fit for both "national issues" and "local issues" (especially given the "constituency service" example), Sense 3 ("topic, subject, matter") is broader and more inclusive than Sense 1 ("disputed question").
    *   Wait, let me look at the examples for Sense 1 again: "politicians never discuss the real issues". This is a very strong match for the general usage of "issues" in politics.
    *   Let's re-evaluate "constituency service". Is it an "issue"? In common parlance, yes. Is it a "disputed question"? No. Is it a "matter"? Yes.
    *   Let's look at the WordNet hierarchy if possible (mentally). `issue` (topic) -> `issue` (disputed question).
    *   Sense 3: `issue%1:09:00` (topic, subject, matter)
    *   Sense 1: `issue%1:09:01` (important question in dispute)
    *   Sense 1 is a hyponym of Sense 3.
    *   Given that "constituency service" is included as a "local issue", the broader sense (Sense 3) seems more appropriate than the narrower "disputed question" sense (Sense 1).

    *   "dealing with national issues... and attending to local issues"
    *   National issues = programmatic actions (legislation).
    *   Local issues = constituency service and pork barrel.
    *   "Constituency service" is the act of helping people in the district. This is a "matter" or "subject" of their work, not a "disputed question".
    *   Therefore, Sense 3 is the most accurate.

    *   Sense 1: `issue%1:09:01` (dispute)
    *   Sense 3: `issue%1:09:00` (topic/matter)
    *   The context uses "issues" to categorize the types of work/topics the representatives handle. Sense 3 fits "constituency service" better than Sense 1.

    *   "Constituency service" refers to the assistance that members of Congress provide to their constituents (the people they represent).
    *   This is work done by the representative (one person/group) that benefits the constituents (another group).
    *   Sense 1 ("work done by one person or group that benefits another") fits this general description well.
    *   Sense 2 ("an act of help or assistance") is similar, but "constituency service" is usually treated as a category of work/activity rather than a single act.
    *   Sense 5 ("employment in or work for another") doesn't fit because the representative isn't employed *by* the constituency in a traditional employer-employee sense, but rather provides a service *to* them.

    *   Sense 1: "work done by one person or group that benefits another" (e.g., "goods and services"). This is a broad definition that covers professional or public services.
    *   Sense 2: "an act of help or assistance". This is more about a specific favor.
    *   In political science, "constituency service" (or casework) is the work done by a representative's office to help constituents navigate government bureaucracy. This is a form of "work done by one person or group that benefits another."

    *   Sense 1 is the most comprehensive and accurate fit for the professional/political context of "constituency service."

The theory relies on three assumptions: 1 -RRB- Voters can "buy "one of two brands when they select their political agents -- a Republican brand that believes in the minimalist state and in the virtues of private markets over the vices of public action, and a Democratic brand that believes in big government and in public intervention to remedy the excesses attendant to the pursuit of private interest. 2 -RRB- Congressional representatives have two basic responsibilities while voting in office -- dealing with national issues -LRB- programmatic actions such as casting roll call votes on legislation that imposes costs and/or confers benefits on the population at large -RRB- and attending to local issues -LRB- constituency service and pork barrel -RRB-. 3 -RRB- Republican congressional representatives, because of their belief in a <t>minimalist</t> state, are less willing to engage in local benefit-seeking than are Democratic members of Congress. If these assumptions hold, voters in races for Congress face what in economic theory is called a prisoner's dilemma and have an incentive, at the margin, to lean Democratic.

    *   Key phrase: "minimalist state"

    *   Sense 1: Territory of a constituent administrative district (e.g., province, US state).
    *   Sense 2: Way something is (condition/status).
    *   Sense 3: The group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state (the government itself).
    *   Sense 4: A politically organized body of people under a single government (nation, country, body politic).
    *   Sense 5: State of matter (chemistry).
    *   Sense 6: State of depression or agitation.
    *   Sense 7: Territory occupied by a nation.
    *   Sense 8: US Department of State.

    *   The context discusses political ideologies (Republican vs. Democratic).
    *   "Minimalist state" refers to a political philosophy (likely libertarianism or small-government conservatism) where the government's role in society is kept to a minimum.
    *   This refers to the *institution* of government or the *political entity* that exercises authority.
    *   Comparing Sense 3 and Sense 4:
        *   Sense 3: "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state" (the government).
        *   Sense 4: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" (the nation/body politic).
    *   In the phrase "minimalist state," "state" usually refers to the government/administrative apparatus (the "body politic" in its governing capacity).
    *   Looking at the examples:
        *   Sense 3: "the state has lowered its income tax" (refers to the government acting).
        *   Sense 4: "the state has elected a new president" (refers to the political entity).
    *   "Minimalist state" specifically refers to the size and scope of the government's power and intervention. This aligns best with the concept of the government as an entity (Sense 3) or the political organization (Sense 4).
    *   However, in political science, "the state" often refers to the set of institutions that exercise power (the government).
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 3 vs Sense 4.
        *   Sense 3: "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state"
        *   Sense 4: "a politically organized body of people under a single government"
    *   "Minimalist state" refers to the *government's* role, not the *population* (the body of people). Therefore, Sense 3 (the government) is a better fit than Sense 4 (the nation/people).

    *   Wait, let me double-check Sense 4 again. "body politic" is listed as a synonym. "Body politic" can mean the people of a nation, considered as a collective political entity.
    *   Let's look at Sense 3 again: "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state".
    *   In the context of "minimalist state" (small government), it refers to the government's reach and power.
    *   Example for Sense 3: "the state has lowered its income tax". This is exactly how a "minimalist state" would act.
    *   Example for Sense 4: "the state has elected a new president". This refers to the political entity as a whole.

    *   Comparing "minimalist state" to "big government" (used earlier in the text: "Democratic brand that believes in big government"). "Big government" is a direct synonym for a non-minimalist state. "Government" is the core meaning here.

    *   Sense 3: government.
    *   Sense 4: nation/country.
    *   "Minimalist state" = small government.
    *   Therefore, Sense 3 is the most accurate.

"Local benefit-seeking" refers to the administration/allocation of resources to a specific district (the representative's constituency) as opposed to national-level administration.

    *   The contrast is "national" vs "local".
    *   "Local" here refers to the specific electoral district/constituency.

        5.  `member%1:08:01::`: the male organ of copulation.

    *   The phrase is "Democratic members of Congress".
    *   "Congress" is a legislative body (a social/political group/organization).
    *   "Members of Congress" refers to the individual people (representatives/senators) who belong to that body.

    *   Sense 1: "one of the persons who compose a social group (especially individuals who have joined and participate in a group organization)". This fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 2: "anything that belongs to a set or class". This is more general and usually used for non-human sets (e.g., "snakes are members of the class Reptilia"). While humans are part of a set, Sense 1 is more specific to people in organizations.
    *   Sense 3: Body part. Incorrect.
    *   Sense 4: An organization that is a member of another organization. Incorrect (Congress is the organization; the members are people).
    *   Sense 5: Male organ. Incorrect.

    *   Sense 1 is the most precise fit for "members of Congress".

Target lemma: assumption
Target surface form: assumptions
Context:
A simple economic theory may provide at least a partial explanation for the split personality displayed by Americans in the voting booth. The theory relies on three assumptions: 1 -RRB- Voters can "buy "one of two brands when they select their political agents -- a Republican brand that believes in the minimalist state and in the virtues of private markets over the vices of public action, and a Democratic brand that believes in big government and in public intervention to remedy the excesses attendant to the pursuit of private interest. 2 -RRB- Congressional representatives have two basic responsibilities while voting in office -- dealing with national issues -LRB- programmatic actions such as casting roll call votes on legislation that imposes costs and/or confers benefits on the population at large -RRB- and attending to local issues -LRB- constituency service and pork barrel -RRB-. 3 -RRB- Republican congressional representatives, because of their belief in a minimalist state, are less willing to engage in local benefit-seeking than are Democratic members of Congress. If these <t>assumptions</t> hold, voters in races for Congress face what in economic theory is called a prisoner's dilemma and have an incentive, at the margin, to lean Democratic. If they put a Republican into office, not only will they acquire less in terms of local benefits but their selected legislator will be relatively powerless to prevent other legislators from "bringing home the bacon "to their respective constituencies.

    *   Context: "The theory relies on three assumptions: 1... 2... 3... If these <t>assumptions</t> hold, voters in races for Congress face what in economic theory is called a prisoner's dilemma..."
    *   The context describes a theory based on three specific statements (premises) that are taken as true to derive a conclusion (the prisoner's dilemma scenario).

    *   Sense 1: `a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn` (Synonyms: premise, premiss).
    *   Sense 2: `a hypothesis that is taken for granted` (Synonyms: supposition, supposal).
    *   Sense 3: `the act of taking possession of or power over something` (Synonyms: laying claim).
    *   Sense 4: `celebration in the Roman Catholic Church...`
    *   Sense 5: `(Christianity) the taking up of the body and soul of the Virgin Mary...`
    *   Sense 6: `audacious (even arrogant) behavior...` (Synonyms: presumption).
    *   Sense 7: `the act of assuming or taking for granted`.

    *   The context says "The theory relies on three assumptions" and then lists them. It then says "If these assumptions hold, voters... face... a prisoner's dilemma".
    *   This fits perfectly with Sense 1: "a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn".
    *   Sense 2 ("a hypothesis that is taken for granted") is similar, but Sense 1 specifically mentions drawing a conclusion, which is exactly what's happening here (the theory leads to the conclusion of a prisoner's dilemma).
    *   Sense 7 is the *act* of assuming, not the statements themselves.

    *   Sense 1: "a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn" -> Matches "The theory relies on three assumptions... If these assumptions hold, [conclusion]".
    *   Sense 2: "a hypothesis that is taken for granted" -> Also fits, but Sense 1 is more precise for a theoretical framework leading to a conclusion.

    *   Sense 1: premise, premiss.
    *   Sense 2: supposition, supposal.
    *   In economic theory, these are typically called "premises" or "assumptions" from which a model is built.

    *   Sense 1 is the best fit.

Target lemma: have
Target surface form: have
Context:
A simple economic theory may provide at least a partial explanation for the split personality displayed by Americans in the voting booth. The theory relies on three assumptions: 1 -RRB- Voters can "buy "one of two brands when they select their political agents -- a Republican brand that believes in the minimalist state and in the virtues of private markets over the vices of public action, and a Democratic brand that believes in big government and in public intervention to remedy the excesses attendant to the pursuit of private interest. 2 -RRB- Congressional representatives have two basic responsibilities while voting in office -- dealing with national issues -LRB- programmatic actions such as casting roll call votes on legislation that imposes costs and/or confers benefits on the population at large -RRB- and attending to local issues -LRB- constituency service and pork barrel -RRB-. 3 -RRB- Republican congressional representatives, because of their belief in a minimalist state, are less willing to engage in local benefit-seeking than are Democratic members of Congress. If these assumptions hold, voters in races for Congress face what in economic theory is called a prisoner's dilemma and <t>have</t> an incentive, at the margin, to lean Democratic. If they put a Republican into office, not only will they acquire less in terms of local benefits but their selected legislator will be relatively powerless to prevent other legislators from "bringing home the bacon "to their respective constituencies.

    *   The phrase is "have an incentive".
    *   An "incentive" is an abstract thing (a motivation or reason to do something).
    *   Does "have" here mean "possess" (abstractly), "experience", or "feature"?
    *   Sense 1: "have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense". This fits well.
    *   Sense 3: "go through (mental or physical states or experiences)". "Have an incentive" is more about possessing a motivation than experiencing a state.
    *   Sense 4: "have ownership or possession of". This is usually for concrete ownership (houses, cars).
    *   Sense 2: "have as a feature". This is usually for characteristics of a thing (the restaurant features chefs).

    *   "Have an incentive" is a very common expression meaning to possess a motivation.
    *   Sense 1 specifically mentions "abstract sense".
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 4: Sense 1 is broader ("concrete or abstract"), while Sense 4 is more about "ownership". An incentive isn't "owned" in the way a house is.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3: "Experience an incentive" is possible, but "possess an incentive" (Sense 1) is the standard interpretation of "have an incentive".

    *   Sense 1: "have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense"
    *   Context: "voters... have an incentive"
    *   This matches perfectly.
