Target lemma: acceptance
Target surface form: acceptance
Context:
US banks repay state support The crisis-hit US major banks are breaking free from their state shackles. On Wednesday Bank of America repaid the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion (nearly EUR 30 billion) in one go.

The institutions thereby want to wiggle themselves free from the restrictions going hand-in-hand with the <t>acceptance</t> of the money, such as the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges. Bank of America had raised some USD 19 billion from investors through convertible loans.

    *   Target surface form: `acceptance`
    *   Context: "The institutions thereby want to wiggle themselves free from the restrictions going hand-in-hand with the <t>acceptance</t> of the money..."
    *   Meaning: The banks received money (state support/TARP) and now want to be free from the restrictions that came with taking that money.

    *   Sense 1: `the act of taking something that is offered` (Example: "her acceptance of the gift encouraged him")
    *   Sense 2: `banking: a time draft drawn on and accepted by a bank` (Synonym: "banker's acceptance")
    *   Sense 3: `the state of being acceptable and accepted` (Example: "torn jeans received no acceptance")
    *   Sense 4: `the mental attitude that something is believable and should be accepted as true` (Synonym: "credence")
    *   Sense 5: `the act of accepting with approval; favorable reception` (Synonym: "adoption")
    *   Sense 6: `(contract law) words signifying consent to the terms of an offer`
    *   Sense 7: `a disposition to tolerate or accept people or situations` (Synonym: "toleration")

    *   The context is about banks taking money (state support).
    *   "acceptance of the money" refers to the act of receiving/taking the funds offered by the state.
    *   Sense 1 ("the act of taking something that is offered") fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 2 is a specific financial instrument (banker's acceptance), which is not what is meant here.
    *   Sense 3 is about social acceptability.
    *   Sense 4 is about belief/credence.
    *   Sense 5 is about approval/adoption of an idea or proposal.
    *   Sense 6 is a legal term for the specific words of consent. While there is a contract involved, "acceptance of the money" describes the act of taking the funds, not the specific legal words of consent.
    *   Sense 7 is about tolerance.

    *   The banks accepted (took) the money.
    *   Sense 1: "the act of taking something that is offered". This matches the context of taking state support.

*   Target lemma: `money`
    *   Target surface form: `money`
    *   Context: "The institutions thereby want to wiggle themselves free from the restrictions going hand-in-hand with the acceptance of the <t>money</t>, such as the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges."
    *   Surrounding context: US banks repaying state support (TARP), Bank of America repaid USD 45 billion, Citigroup planning to repay.

    *   Sense 1: `money%1:21:01::` - the official currency issued by a government or national bank (e.g., francs).
    *   Sense 2: `money%1:21:02::` - wealth reckoned in terms of money (e.g., real estate).
    *   Sense 3: `money%1:21:00::` - the most common medium of exchange; functions as legal tender (e.g., money he owed us).

    *   The "money" refers to the "state support" (TARP funds) provided to the banks.
    *   TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) involved the government providing capital/funds to banks.
    *   Is it "official currency" (Sense 1)? Not specifically. It's not about the *type* of currency (like dollars vs. euros), but the funds themselves.
    *   Is it "wealth reckoned in terms of money" (Sense 2)? No, it's not about the bank's overall wealth or assets.
    *   Is it "the most common medium of exchange; functions as legal tender" (Sense 3)? This is the general sense of money as funds, capital, or a sum of money.

    *   Sense 1 is too specific to the *physical* or *official* nature of currency.
    *   Sense 2 is about *wealth/assets*.
    *   Sense 3 is the general term for funds/legal tender used in transactions or as capital.

    In the context of "acceptance of the money" (referring to the TARP funds), it refers to the funds/capital provided. Sense 3 is the most general and fitting description for "funds" or "a sum of money."

    *   Sense 1: Currency (e.g., "I need to exchange my money for yen").
    *   Sense 2: Wealth (e.g., "He has a lot of money in the bank").
    *   Sense 3: Medium of exchange/funds (e.g., "I don't have any money on me").

    The TARP funds are a sum of money provided as support. Sense 3 fits best as the general term for funds.

    Wait, let me re-evaluate Sense 2 vs Sense 3.
    Sense 2: "wealth reckoned in terms of money"
    Sense 3: "the most common medium of exchange; functions as legal tender"

    Actually, looking at WordNet's structure:
    - `money%1:21:00` (Sense 3) is the most general.
    - `money%1:21:01` (Sense 1) is currency.
    - `money%1:21:02` (Sense 2) is wealth.

    The "money" in "acceptance of the money" refers to the specific funds (the USD 45 billion) provided by the government. This is a sum of money, which falls under the general definition of money as a medium of exchange/legal tender (Sense 3).

    Let's double-check if "wealth" (Sense 2) fits. The banks didn't accept "wealth"; they accepted a specific amount of funds (capital).

    Therefore, Sense 3 is the most appropriate.

    *   In a banking context, "paying high charges" usually refers to the fees or costs associated with services or transactions.
    *   Sense 4: "the price charged for some article or service" (e.g., admission charge). This fits the idea of fees/costs.

    *   Sense 4: "the price charged for some article or service" - "the admission charge". This is about the cost of a service.
    *   In the context of banks and restrictions, "paying high charges" likely refers to the fees they pay to others or perhaps the fees they charge (though the text says "paying of high charges", implying the bank is the one paying). Wait, if the bank is paying high charges, it means they are paying high fees to third parties.

    *   "the restrictions going hand-in-hand with the acceptance of the money, such as the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges."
    *   If the government is restricting the banks, they might be restricting the *payment* of high fees (charges) to executives or consultants, or perhaps restricting the *charging* of high fees to customers.
    *   Wait, "the paying of high charges" suggests the bank is the payer. If the bank is paying high charges, it's paying high fees.
    *   Sense 4 fits "fees" best.

On Wednesday Bank of America repaid the support from the bank protection fund TARP in the amount USD 45 billion (nearly EUR 30 billion) in one go. And, according to reports from US broadcaster CNBC, Citigroup is also planning to repay the state support. The institutions thereby want to wiggle themselves free from the restrictions going hand-in-hand with the acceptance of the money, such as the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges. Bank of America had raised some USD 19 billion from investors through convertible loans. The <t>rest</t> of the amount was taken from its own kitty, which was well filled through the sale of business units. Bank head Kenneth Lewis extended his express thanks to the American taxpayer on Wednesday evening: The cash injection helped over a very difficult time.

    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `amount%1:03:00::`: how much there is or how many there are of something that you can quantify (measure, quantity).
        2.  `amount%1:07:00::`: the relative magnitude of something with reference to a criterion.
        3.  `amount%1:09:00::`: a quantity obtained by the addition of a group of numbers (sum, total).
        4.  `amount%1:21:00::`: a quantity of money (sum, sum of money, amount of money).

    *   The sentence is: "The rest of the amount was taken from its own kitty..."
    *   The "amount" refers back to the "USD 45 billion" mentioned earlier.
    *   USD 45 billion is a quantity of money.

    *   Sense 1: General quantity.
    *   Sense 2: Relative magnitude.
    *   Sense 3: Sum obtained by addition (total).
    *   Sense 4: A quantity of money.

    *   The context explicitly deals with money (USD 45 billion, USD 19 billion, "cash injection").
    *   Sense 4 specifically defines "amount" as "a quantity of money". This is the most precise fit.

    *   Sense 3 (sum, total) could potentially fit, but Sense 4 is more specific to money, which is exactly what is being discussed. In WordNet, when a specific sense for money exists, it's usually preferred over a general "sum" or "quantity" sense when the context is financial.

    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `sale%1:04:01::`: an occasion (usually brief) for buying at specially reduced prices (e.g., a clearance sale).
        2.  `sale%1:10:00::`: an agreement (or contract) in which property is transferred (e.g., a sales agreement).
        3.  `sale%1:04:00::`: a particular instance of selling (e.g., "complete the sale before the banks closed").
        4.  `sale%1:26:00::`: the state of being purchasable (e.g., "for sale").
        5.  `sale%1:04:02::`: the general activity of selling (e.g., "boost sales").

    *   The sentence says: "...which was well filled through the sale of business units."
    *   This refers to the act of selling off parts of the company (business units) to raise money.
    *   It's not a "clearance sale" (Sense 1).
    *   It's not just the "contract" (Sense 2), though a contract is involved, the focus is on the transaction/act of selling.
    *   It's not the "state of being purchasable" (Sense 4).
    *   It's not the "general activity of selling" (Sense 5) in the sense of a business model or overall sales volume, but rather a specific action taken to raise funds.
    *   Sense 3 ("a particular instance of selling") fits best. Selling business units is a specific instance (or set of instances) of selling assets.

    *   Sense 3: "a particular instance of selling" - Example: "they had to complete the sale before the banks closed". This matches the context of selling off business units to generate cash.
    *   Sense 5: "the general activity of selling" - Example: "they tried to boost sales". This usually refers to revenue generation from products/services.

    The "sale of business units" is a specific transaction (or series of transactions) to divest assets. This aligns most closely with "a particular instance of selling".

Target lemma: bank

Context:
And, according to reports from US broadcaster CNBC, Citigroup is also planning to repay the state support. The institutions thereby want to wiggle themselves free from the restrictions going hand-in-hand with the acceptance of the money, such as the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges. Bank of America had raised some USD 19 billion from investors through convertible loans. The rest of the amount was taken from its own kitty, which was well filled through the sale of business units. Bank head Kenneth Lewis extended his express thanks to the American taxpayer on Wednesday evening: The cash injection helped over a very difficult time.

        3.  `cash%1:21:02::`: Prompt payment for goods or services.

    *   The sentence is about Citigroup raising "cash" on the capital market to pay off liabilities.
    *   In a financial/corporate context, "raising cash" refers to obtaining liquid funds (money).
    *   Sense 1 (Johnny Cash) is obviously incorrect.
    *   Sense 3 (prompt payment) refers to the *act* of paying immediately (e.g., "pay cash for the car").
    *   Sense 2 (money in the form of bills or coins) is the general term for liquid money/funds. While "bills or coins" is a literal definition, in financial contexts, "cash" often refers to liquid assets/money in general.

    *   Sense 2: "money in the form of bills or coins" (synonyms: hard cash, hard currency).
    *   Sense 3: "prompt payment for goods or services in currency or by check".
    *   The context "raise cash on the capital market" means raising liquid funds. This aligns with the concept of money (Sense 2) rather than the act of prompt payment (Sense 3).

    *   Sense 2 is the best fit.

    *   Surrounding context: The text discusses banks (Bank of America, Citigroup), raising cash, capital markets, convertible loans, and government assistance ("American taxpayer").

    *   Sense 1: `liability%1:26:01::` - the state of being legally obliged and responsible. (General legal responsibility).
    *   Sense 2: `liability%1:26:00::` - an obligation to pay money to another party | synonyms=indebtedness, financial obligation. (Financial debt).
    *   Sense 3: `liability%1:07:00::` - the quality of being something that holds you back. (A disadvantage).

    *   The sentence says Citigroup wants to "raise cash on the capital market to free itself from its liabilities with the state."
    *   "Raise cash" strongly implies that the "liabilities" are financial debts or obligations to pay money back to the state (likely government bailouts/loans).
    *   Sense 2 specifically mentions "obligation to pay money," "indebtedness," and "financial obligation." This fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 1 is too general (legal responsibility).
    *   Sense 3 is metaphorical (a disadvantage).

    *   The context is clearly financial (banks, cash, capital market, state loans).
    *   Sense 2 is the precise financial meaning.

    *   The sentence is "free itself from its liabilities with the state."
    *   In financial/legal contexts, "liabilities with the state" refers to debts owed to the government.
    *   Sense 3: "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state" (the government as an entity).
    *   Sense 8: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" (the nation as a whole).

    *   Sense 3: "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state" (Example: "the state has lowered its income tax"). This fits perfectly with "liabilities with the state" (debts to the government).
    *   Sense 8: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" (Example: "the state has elected a new president"). This is more about the political entity/nation.

    *   The context mentions "American taxpayer" and "cash injection" (likely from the government).

    *   Sense 8: "a politically organized body of people under a single government"
    *   In many contexts, these are very close. However, "the state" as the entity that holds debt or provides bailouts is typically the government (Sense 3).

    *   Sense 3: "the state has lowered its income tax" (Government action).
    *   Sense 8: "the state has elected a new president" (Political entity action).
    *   "Liabilities with the state" aligns better with the government as the creditor.

    *   Sense 7: Upper part of a column.
    *   Sense 8: Assets available for use in the production of further assets (working capital).

    *   The context is about banks (Bank of America, Citigroup) raising money to cover liabilities and strengthen their financial position.
    *   "capital increase of some USD 20 billion" refers to increasing the amount of financial wealth/equity the bank holds.
    *   Sense 3 ("wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business") fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 8 ("assets available for use in the production of further assets") is similar, but "capital increase" in a banking context usually refers to the overall equity/wealth (Sense 3) rather than specifically "working capital" (Sense 8). In banking, "capital" refers to the regulatory capital or equity capital.

    *   Sense 3: wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business...
    *   Sense 8: assets available for use in the production of further assets (working capital).
    *   A "capital increase" (capital raise) is the process of increasing the equity (wealth/ownership) of a company. This aligns best with Sense 3.

    *   Sense 3 is the most general and accurate description of financial capital in the context of a bank's balance sheet and equity increases.

Citigroup also plans to raise cash on the capital market to free itself from its liabilities with the state. Already on Thursday, the US bank was able to announce a capital <t>increase</t> of some USD 20 billion, reported CNBC with reference to circles. A Citigroup spokesman declined to comment.

*   Target lemma: `increase`
    *   Target surface form: `increase`
    *   Context: "Already on Thursday, the US bank was able to announce a capital <t>increase</t> of some USD 20 billion..."
    *   Surrounding context: Bank of America raised money, Citigroup plans to raise cash on the capital market, "capital increase of some USD 20 billion".

    *   Sense 1: `the amount by which something increases` (synonym: increment; example: "increase of 15 percent in the fare").
    *   Sense 2: `a change resulting in an increase` (example: "the increase is scheduled for next month").
    *   Sense 3: `a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important` (synonyms: increment, growth; example: "the increase in unemployment").
    *   Sense 4: `a quantity that is added` (synonyms: addition, gain; example: "addition to property taxes").
    *   Sense 5: `the act of increasing something` (synonym: step-up; example: "increase in salary").

    *   The phrase is "a capital increase of some USD 20 billion".
    *   This refers to the specific amount of money added to the bank's capital.
    *   Sense 1: "the amount by which something increases". (Fits well: the amount of capital increased by 20 billion).
    *   Sense 4: "a quantity that is added". (Also fits well: 20 billion is the quantity added to the capital).
    *   Sense 5: "the act of increasing something". (The announcement is about the result/amount, not just the act).
    *   Sense 3: "a process of becoming larger". (This is more about the trend/process, not a specific sum).
    *   Sense 2: "a change resulting in an increase". (Too vague).

    *   Sense 1: "the amount by which something increases" (Example: "increase of 15 percent in the fare").
    *   Sense 4: "a quantity that is added" (Example: "addition to property taxes").
    *   In financial contexts, a "capital increase" usually refers to the specific amount of new capital raised.
    *   Comparing "amount by which something increases" (Sense 1) vs "quantity that is added" (Sense 4).
    *   "A capital increase of some USD 20 billion" describes the *amount* of the increase.
    *   Looking at Sense 1's example: "an increase of 15 percent in the fare". This is almost identical in structure to "an increase of some USD 20 billion in capital".

    *   Sense 1: amount by which something increases.
    *   Sense 4: quantity that is added.
    *   In the context of "capital increase", it's the amount the capital grew by. Sense 1 is the most precise fit for "an increase of [amount]".

    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 4: "a quantity that is added".
    *   Let me re-read Sense 1: "the amount by which something increases".
    *   In "capital increase of USD 20 billion", the 20 billion is the amount of the increase.
    *   Let's check Sense 1 again: "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare". This matches the pattern "increase of [amount] in [thing]".
    *   Let's check Sense 4 again: "there was an addition to property taxes this year". This is more like "an addition to X".

    *   Sense 1 is the most standard way to describe a specific numerical increase.
