Context:
Wall Street closes without momentum, slowed by a strengthening dollar The New York Stock Exchange closed with no particular heading on Friday, in a market torn between better than expected indicators in the United States and a strengthening dollar: the Dow Jones gained 0.63% but the NASDAQ dropped 0.03%. According to final closing figures, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen by 65.67 points to 10 471.50 points, whereas the NASDAQ, with a technology predominance, fell by 0.55 point to 2 190.31 points.

It remains within a narrow margin; trading volumes have become very weak, and I think that this will remain the case until the end of the year.

*   Target lemma: `volume`
    *   Target surface form: `volumes`
    *   Context: "trading <t>volumes</t> have become very weak" (within a financial market context: Wall Street, NYSE, Dow Jones, NASDAQ).
    *   Meaning: In finance, "trading volume" refers to the total number of shares or contracts traded for a specific security or an entire market during a given period. It's a measure of the *amount* or *quantity* of activity.

    *   Sense 1: `a relative amount` (e.g., "mix one volume of the solution with ten volumes of water"). This is often used in chemistry/mixing.
    *   Sense 2: `physical objects consisting of a number of pages bound together` (books). Not applicable.
    *   Sense 3: `the property of something that is great in magnitude` (synonyms: bulk, mass). Example: "buy it in bulk". This refers to the quantity or amount of something.
    *   Sense 4: `a publication that is one of a set of several similar publications`. Not applicable.
    *   Sense 5: `the magnitude of sound`. Not applicable.
    *   Sense 6: `the amount of 3-dimensional space occupied by an object`. Not applicable.

    *   "Trading volumes" refers to the quantity of shares traded.
    *   Sense 1 is about relative proportions (mixing).
    *   Sense 3 is about magnitude/bulk/mass (quantity).
    *   In financial contexts, "volume" is the total quantity of shares traded. This aligns best with the concept of "magnitude" or "amount" (Sense 3).

    *   Sense 1: "a relative amount" (usually used for ratios/mixing).
    *   Sense 3: "the property of something that is great in magnitude" (bulk, mass).
    *   Wait, let me re-evaluate. Is there a better sense for "quantity" in general?
    *   Looking at WordNet (the source of these glosses), "volume" as in "trading volume" usually maps to the sense of "amount" or "quantity".
    *   Sense 3 mentions "bulk, mass" and "buy it in bulk". This is the closest to "quantity of shares".

    *   Sense 1: "a relative amount" (e.g., "one volume of X to ten volumes of Y"). This is a specific type of measurement.
    *   Sense 3: "the property of something that is great in magnitude" (bulk, mass).
    *   Let's check if "volume" in "trading volume" means "the amount of something".
    *   If I have to choose between 1 and 3:
        *   1 is about ratios.
        *   3 is about the total amount/magnitude.
    *   "Trading volumes have become very weak" means the total amount of trading is low. This fits Sense 3 (magnitude/amount) better than Sense 1 (relative amount).

    *   Sense 1: `volume%1:23:01::` (relative amount)
    *   Sense 2: `volume%1:06:00::` (book)
    *   Sense 3: `volume%1:07:03::` (bulk, mass)
    *   Sense 4: `volume%1:10:00::` (set of publications)
    *   Sense 5: `volume%1:07:02::` (sound)
    *   Sense 6: `volume%1:23:00::` (3D space)

    Sense 3 is the only one that describes a general quantity or magnitude.

Context:
The New York Stock Exchange closed with no particular heading on Friday, in a market torn between better than expected indicators in the United States and a strengthening dollar: the Dow Jones gained 0.63% but the NASDAQ dropped 0.03%. According to final closing figures, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen by 65.67 points to 10 471.50 points, whereas the NASDAQ, with a technology predominance, fell by 0.55 point to 2 190.31 points. The wider Standard & Poor's 500 has itself advanced by 0.37% (4.06 points) to 1 106.41 points. Frankly, the market is very calm, observes Mace Blicksilver of Marblehead Asset Management. It remains within a narrow margin; trading volumes have become very weak, and I think that this will remain the case until the end of the year.

        4.  `publication%1:10:00::`: a copy of a printed work offered for distribution.

    *   The sentence says "the publication of better than expected economic indicators".
    *   Economic indicators are data/information.
    *   "Publication" here refers to the act of making this data public or releasing it.

    *   Sense 1: "the communication of something to the public; making information generally known". This fits perfectly because economic indicators are information being made known to the public.
    *   Sense 2: "the business of issuing printed matter". This is about the industry (publishing). Not applicable.
    *   Sense 3: "the act of issuing printed materials". This focuses on the physical act of printing/issuing materials. While economic indicators *could* be printed, they are primarily *information* being released.
    *   Sense 4: "a copy of a printed work". This refers to a physical book/magazine. Not applicable.

    *   Sense 1 is broader and focuses on the *communication of information*.
    *   Sense 3 is more specific to *printed materials*.
    *   Economic indicators are often released digitally or via press releases; the core meaning is the *making known* of the data.
    *   Comparing "communication of something to the public" (Sense 1) vs "act of issuing printed materials" (Sense 3).
    *   In financial contexts, "publication of data" usually means the release/disclosure of that data.

    *   Sense 1: communication of something to the public / making information generally known.
    *   Sense 3: act of issuing printed materials.
    *   Economic indicators are information. Making them known is the key. Sense 1 is the most accurate.

        2.  `month%1:28:01::`: one of the twelve divisions of the calendar year (synonym: calendar month).

    *   The sentence says "increased by 1.3% in November, for the second month in a row".
    *   "November" is explicitly mentioned.
    *   "The second month in a row" refers to a sequence of calendar months (October and November).

    *   Sense 1 is a general duration of about 30 days.
    *   Sense 2 is a specific division of the calendar year (like January, February, etc.).
    *   Since the context mentions "November" and "the second month in a row" (implying a sequence of calendar months), Sense 2 is the most precise fit.

    *   Sense 1: "he was given a month to pay the bill" (duration).
    *   Sense 2: "he paid the bill last month" (calendar month).
    *   The context "in November, for the second month in a row" aligns perfectly with the calendar month concept.

    *   The target word "index" refers to the University of Michigan's measure of consumer confidence. This is a classic example of an economic index (Sense 3).

    *   Target surface form: `indices`
    *   Context: The text discusses market trends, economic indicators, retail sales, consumer confidence (Michigan University's index), and the impact of the dollar's rise on "the indices".
    *   Key phrase: "The indices have, however, been slowed by a renewed rise of the dollar..."

    *   Sense 1: Finger next to the thumb (index finger). -> Incorrect.
    *   Sense 2: A numerical scale used to compare variables. -> Possible.
    *   Sense 3: Alphabetical listing of names/topics (book index). -> Incorrect.
    *   Sense 4: A number or ratio derived from observed facts; reveals relative changes over time (index number, indicator). -> Very likely.
    *   Sense 5: Mathematical notation (exponent). -> Incorrect.

    *   The context mentions "economic indicators" and "Michigan University's index".
    *   It talks about "the indices" being slowed by the dollar's rise. In a financial context, "indices" (plural of index) usually refers to stock market indices (like the S&P 500, Dow Jones, etc.) or economic indices.
    *   Sense 2: "a numerical scale used to compare variables with one another or with some reference number".
    *   Sense 4: "a number or ratio (a value on a scale of measurement) derived from a series of observed facts; can reveal relative changes as a function of time".
    *   Comparing Sense 2 and Sense 4: Sense 4 specifically mentions "derived from a series of observed facts" and "relative changes as a function of time", which perfectly describes stock market indices or economic indicators (like the consumer confidence index mentioned just before).

    *   The text mentions "economic indicators" and "Michigan University's index".
    *   "The indices have, however, been slowed..." refers back to these indicators or the broader market indices.
    *   Sense 4's synonyms include "index number" and "indicator". The text explicitly uses the word "indicators" earlier.

    *   Sense 4 is the most precise fit for financial/economic indices.

Target lemma: rise
Target surface form: rise
Context:
Frankly, the market is very calm, observes Mace Blicksilver of Marblehead Asset Management. It remains within a narrow margin; trading volumes have become very weak, and I think that this will remain the case until the end of the year. The trend was supported by the publication of better than expected economic indicators, which "have contributed to improving market opinion in relation to the robustness of the economic recovery", summarised Charles Schwab's analysts. In the United States, retail sales have increased by 1.3% in November, for the second month in a row, and far more than predicted. Moreover, the confidence of American consumers has clearly bounced back in December, to 73.4 against 67.4 the previous month, according to preliminary estimates from Michigan University's index. The indices have, however, been slowed by a renewed <t>rise</t> of the dollar, to a new two-month high against the Euro, which "puts downward pressure on the sectors that are sensitive to the economic situation", explained Owen Fitzpatrick from Deutsche Bank. Technology securities have thereby lost some ground.

    *   Context: "...The indices have, however, been slowed by a renewed <t>rise</t> of the dollar, to a new two-month high against the Euro..."
    *   Key phrase: "rise of the dollar"

    *   Sense 1: `rise%1:07:03::` - an increase in cost (boost, hike, cost increase). Example: "10% rise in rates".
    *   Sense 2: `rise%1:04:01::` - increase in price or value (advance). Example: "general advance on the stock market".
    *   Sense 3: `rise%1:04:00::` - the act of changing location in an upward direction (ascent, ascension).
    *   Sense 4: `rise%1:07:02::` - the amount a salary is increased (raise, wage hike).
    *   Sense 5: `rise%1:17:00::` - an upward slope or grade (ascent, acclivity).

    *   Sense 10: `rise%1:11:00::` - a growth in strength or number or importance.

    *   The context refers to the "rise of the dollar" relative to the Euro.
    *   The dollar is a currency.
    *   A "rise of the dollar" means its value or exchange rate has increased.
    *   Sense 2 specifically mentions "increase in price or value" and gives an example related to the stock market ("general advance on the stock market").
    *   Sense 1 mentions "increase in cost" (like rates), but Sense 2 is more fitting for the value of a currency.
    *   Sense 10 ("growth in strength or number or importance") could be considered, but "value" (Sense 2) is the precise economic term for currency movements.

    *   Sense 2: "increase in price or value" -> Fits "rise of the dollar" perfectly.
    *   Sense 1: "increase in cost" -> Usually refers to the price of a service or product increasing, not the value of a currency.
    *   Sense 10: "growth in strength" -> While a currency can "strengthen," the term "rise" in the context of exchange rates specifically refers to its value increasing.

    *   The "rise of the dollar" means the dollar's value increased against the Euro.
    *   Sense 2: "increase in price or value".

    *   Sense 1: cost increase (e.g., rates)
    *   Sense 2: price or value increase (e.g., stock market)
    *   Sense 3: physical movement upward
    *   Sense 4: salary increase
    *   Sense 5: slope
    *   Sense 6: physical movement upward
    *   Sense 7: wave
    *   Sense 8: theology
    *   Sense 9: slope property
    *   Sense 10: growth in strength/importance

    Sense 2 is the best fit.
