Cheshire Appeal Will Point to Twitter There were half a dozen of them typing away in the courtroom rows. Minute by minute, they sent out reports of gruesome testimony via Twitter. In the end, the defense says, there were more than 140,000 Twitter messages about the trial that dealt with rape and children tied to their beds in a house that was set ablaze. On Thursday, the widely followed trial of Steven J.

    *   Sense 1: A person having kinship (singular person).

    *   Sense 7: Collection of things sharing an attribute (category).
    *   Sense 8: Primary social group; parents and children (family unit).

    *   The context mentions "killing three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family".
    *   This refers to a group of related people living together or as a nuclear unit (parents/children/siblings).
    *   Sense 4 ("a social unit living together") and Sense 8 ("primary social group; parents and children") are the closest.
    *   Sense 2 ("people descended from a common ancestor") is broader (lineage).
    *   In the context of a crime occurring in a home (implied by "house that was set ablaze" earlier in the text), "family" usually refers to the household unit.
    *   Let's compare Sense 4 and Sense 8.
        *   Sense 4: "a social unit living together" (synonyms: household, house, home).
        *   Sense 8: "primary social group; parents and children" (synonym: family unit).
    *   The phrase "three members of a... family" typically refers to the nuclear family or the household.
    *   Looking at the context "house that was set ablaze", the victims were members of the same household.
    *   Sense 4 specifically mentions "household" and "home".
    *   Sense 8 focuses on the "parents and children" aspect.
    *   Usually, in news reports about a family being killed in their home, "family" refers to the household unit (Sense 4). However, Sense 8 is also very strong.
    *   Let's re-read: "killing three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family".
    *   If we look at the examples for Sense 4: "he moved his family to Virginia; It was a good Christian household".
    *   If we look at the examples for Sense 8: "he wanted to have a good job before starting a family".
    *   Sense 4 is more about the group as a unit living together. Sense 8 is more about the concept of the nuclear family unit.
    *   In this specific case, "three members of a family" refers to the group of related people who lived together. Sense 4 fits well.
    *   Wait, let's check Sense 2 again: "people descended from a common ancestor". This is often used for "the [Name] family".
    *   But "a Cheshire, Conn., family" suggests a specific household/unit in that location.
    *   Comparing Sense 4 and Sense 8 again: Sense 4 is "a social unit living together". Sense 8 is "primary social group; parents and children".
    *   In the context of a crime in a house, the "family" is the household.

    *   Sense 4: social unit living together (household).
    *   Sense 8: primary social group (parents and children).
    *   The phrase "members of a family" is very common for both. However, the context of the house fire strongly points toward the household unit.
    *   Let's look at the WordNet hierarchy if possible (mentally). Sense 4 is often the "household" sense. Sense 8 is the "nuclear family" sense.
    *   Actually, "three members of a family" usually refers to the nuclear family (Sense 8) or the household (Sense 4).
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 4: household, house, home, menage.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 8: family unit.
    *   In the context of "killing three members of a... family", it's describing the victims as a group.
    *   If I have to choose the *best* one, Sense 4 (household) often fits the "living together in a house" context better. But Sense 8 is the most generic "family" sense.
    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 2 again: "people descended from a common ancestor". "The Smith family" (Sense 2). "A family in Cheshire" (Sense 4).
    *   Actually, Sense 4 is the most precise for a specific group of people living together in a specific place.

    *   Sense 4: "a social unit living together"
    *   Sense 8: "primary social group; parents and children"
    *   The context "house that was set ablaze" and "three members of a... family" strongly implies the household.

    *   Sense 1: Individual (No)
    *   Sense 2: Lineage (No)
    *   Sense 3: Mob (No)
    *   Sense 4: Household (Yes)
    *   Sense 5: Biology (No)
    *   Sense 6: Fellowship (No)
    *   Sense 7: Category (No)
    *   Sense 8: Nuclear family (Yes)

    *   Between 4 and 8: "a Cheshire, Conn., family" refers to a specific household in that town. Sense 4 is "a social unit living together". Sense 8 is "primary social group; parents and children".
    *   Usually, "a [Location] family" refers to the household.

    *   Sense 4: "he moved his family to Virginia" (the people he lives with).
    *   Sense 8: "starting a family" (having children).
    *   The context "three members of a... family" is much closer to "he moved his family" (the group of people) than "starting a family" (the act of creating a nuclear unit).

    *   Sense 4 is the best fit.

    *   Sense 11: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence" (e.g., "the end was exciting").
    *   Sense 13: "a final part or section" (e.g., "end of the section").

    *   "Come to an end" is a common idiom meaning to finish or terminate.
    *   Sense 3 refers to the *point in time* (the moment it finishes).
    *   Sense 11 refers to the *concluding parts* (the final phase).
    *   Sense 13 refers to a *final part or section* (spatial or structural).

    Looking at the context: "is set to come to an official end with the judge's imposition of the death sentence". This refers to the moment/point in time when the trial concludes.

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 3 vs Sense 11.
    Sense 3: "the point in time at which something ends"
    Sense 11: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence"

    "Come to an end" usually maps to the termination point. If I say "the movie came to an end", I usually mean it finished (point in time). If I say "the end of the movie was sad", I'm talking about the concluding parts (Sense 11).

    In "the trial... is set to come to an official end", it's describing the termination of the process.

    Wait, let's look at Sense 3 again: "the point in time at which something ends".
    Example: "the end of the year".
    Sense 11: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence".
    Example: "the end was exciting".

    The trial coming to an end is the event of finishing. This fits "the point in time at which something ends" (Sense 3) better than "the concluding parts" (Sense 11).

    Let's double-check Sense 6: "a final state | synonyms=destruction, death". No, that's for "come to a bad end".

    Let's double-check Sense 13: "a final part or section". No, that's more for a book or a physical section.

    Comparing 3 and 11 again:
    3: point in time.
    11: concluding parts.

    "The trial is set to come to an official end" -> The trial is set to finish. This is the point in time.

    Sense 3: "the point in time at which something ends"
    Sense 11: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence"

    If the sentence were "The end of the trial was dramatic," that would be Sense 11.
    "The trial came to an end" refers to the termination point.

    Therefore, Sense 3 is the best fit.

Target lemma: appeal
Target surface form: appeals
Context:
Cheshire Appeal Will Point to Twitter There were half a dozen of them typing away in the courtroom rows. Minute by minute, they sent out reports of gruesome testimony via Twitter. In the end, the defense says, there were more than 140,000 Twitter messages about the trial that dealt with rape and children tied to their beds in a house that was set ablaze. On Thursday, the widely followed trial of Steven J. Hayes, who was convicted of killing three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family, is set to come to an official end with the judge's imposition of the death sentence voted for by the jury. But lawyers for Mr. Hayes have already made court filings that sketch out <t>appeals</t> arguments that are likely to occupy the courts for years. One of the most provocative is that the intense reporting on the trial - including mainstream reporters' extensive use of Twitter - created a "circus atmosphere" and such widespread, instant saturation with inflammatory details that the jury was improperly swayed by public passions.

*   Target lemma: `argument`
    *   Target surface form: `arguments`
    *   Context: "...lawyers for Mr. Hayes have already made court filings that sketch out appeals <t>arguments</t> that are likely to occupy the courts for years."
    *   Key phrase: "appeals arguments" in the context of court filings.

    *   Sense 1: (computer science) reference/value passed to a function. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 2: summary of a literary work. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 3: variable in a logical/mathematical expression. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 4: a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true. (Possible)
    *   Sense 5: a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood; the methodical process of logical reasoning. (Strong candidate)
    *   Sense 6: a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal (debate). (Possible, but "appeals arguments" usually refers to the reasoning presented in the filings).
    *   Sense 7: a contentious speech act; a dispute. (Incorrect)

    *   The context is legal ("court filings", "appeals arguments").
    *   In a legal appeal, "arguments" refer to the logical reasoning and legal points presented to the court to prove that a legal error occurred.
    *   Sense 4 ("a fact or assertion offered as evidence") is more about a single point.
    *   Sense 5 ("a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood") describes the structure of a legal argument better.
    *   Sense 6 ("a discussion... debate") describes the *process* of arguing, whereas "sketch out appeals arguments" refers to the *content* of the reasoning.

    *   Sense 4: "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true"
    *   Sense 5: "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood; the methodical process of logical reasoning"
    *   In legal contexts, an "argument" is the logical sequence of points (reasoning) used to persuade the judge. This aligns best with Sense 5.

    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 4 and 5.
    *   Sense 4: "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true" (Synonym: statement).
    *   Sense 5: "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood" (Synonyms: argumentation, logical argument, line of reasoning).
    *   Legal arguments in a brief/filing are lines of reasoning.

    *   Sense 4: "it was a strong argument that his hypothesis was true"
    *   Sense 5: "I can't follow your line of reasoning"
    *   "Appeals arguments" are the lines of reasoning used to challenge a conviction.

    *   Sense 6 is "a discussion... debate". The filings *contain* the arguments, they aren't the discussion itself.
    *   Sense 5 is the most precise fit for the logical structure of a legal appeal.
