Target lemma: high
Target surface form: high
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 rise of the dollar, to a new two-month <t>high</t> 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.

    *   Target surface form: `pressure`
    *   Context: "...a renewed rise of the dollar... which 'puts downward <t>pressure</t> on the sectors that are sensitive to the economic situation'..."
    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  Somatic sensation (skin).
        2.  A force that compels (e.g., public pressure on government).
        3.  The act of pressing (physical exertion).
        4.  State of demanding notice/attention (insistence).
        5.  Oppressive condition of physical/mental/social/economic distress.
        6.  Atmospheric pressure.
        7.  Force applied to a unit area (physics).

    *   The phrase is "puts downward pressure on the sectors".
    *   This is a financial/economic context.
    *   "Downward pressure" in finance refers to a force or influence that pushes prices or values down.
    *   It's not a physical force (senses 1, 3, 6, 7).
    *   It's not a somatic sensation (sense 1).
    *   It's not necessarily "distress" in the sense of suffering (sense 5), although economic distress is mentioned, the "pressure" here is the *force* causing the movement.
    *   It's not "demanding notice" (sense 4).
    *   Sense 2: "a force that compels". In a financial context, "downward pressure" is a metaphorical force that compels prices to drop.

    *   Sense 2: "a force that compels" (Example: "the public brought pressure to bear on the government"). This fits the idea of an external factor (the dollar rise) exerting a compelling influence on the sectors.
    *   Sense 5: "an oppressive condition of physical or mental or social or economic distress". While the *result* might be distress, the "downward pressure" itself is the *force* acting upon the sectors.

    *   "Downward pressure" is a standard idiom in economics meaning a factor that tends to push prices down. This aligns best with "a force that compels" (Sense 2).

    *   Sense 1: No.
    *   Sense 2: Yes (compelling force).
    *   Sense 3: No (physical act).
    *   Sense 4: No (insistence).
    *   Sense 5: No (the state of distress itself).
    *   Sense 6: No.
    *   Sense 7: No.

Target lemma: yield
Target surface form: yields
Context:
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 rise 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. The bond market has fallen. Treasury 10-year bond <t>yields</t> have grown to 3.540% against 3.482% on Tuesday evening, and 30-year bond yields are at 4.497% against 4.492% the previous evening.

    *   Key phrase: "Treasury 10-year bond yields"

    *   Sense 1: `production of a certain amount` (output) - Usually refers to agricultural or chemical production.
    *   Sense 2: `an amount of a product` (fruit) - Refers to the actual product produced.
    *   Sense 3: `the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created` (output, production) - Similar to Sense 1, focused on quantity.
    *   Sense 4: `the income or profit arising from such transactions as the sale of land or other property` (return, issue, take, takings, proceeds, payoff) - Example: "the average return was about 5%".

    *   The context is about financial markets, specifically "Treasury 10-year bond yields".
    *   In finance, a "bond yield" is the amount of return an investor realizes on a bond.
    *   The values given (3.540%, 3.482%) are percentages, which strongly align with the concept of "return" or "income/profit" (Sense 4).

    *   Sense 4 specifically mentions "income or profit arising from such transactions" and provides an example "the average return was about 5%". This perfectly matches the financial context of bond yields.

    *   It is used as a temporal marker for a point in time during the day.

    *   Sense 1: "spent in a special way" (e.g., opera). This doesn't fit. The bond market closing or reporting isn't a "special way" of spending the evening in the social sense.
    *   Sense 2: "the latter part of the day (the period of decreasing daylight from late afternoon until nightfall)". This is the standard meaning of "evening" as a time of day.
    *   Sense 3: "a later concluding time period" (metaphorical/figurative, e.g., "evening of the Roman Empire"). This doesn't fit.

    *   The phrase "Tuesday evening" clearly refers to the time of day. Sense 2 is the most accurate description of this time period.

    *   Meaning: The Iraqi Oil Ministry has come to agreements with 10 foreign oil companies.

    *   Sense 1: `deal%1:10:00::` - an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each. (Synonym: bargain)
    *   Sense 2: `deal%1:27:01::` - wood that is easy to saw (softwood).
    *   Sense 3: `deal%1:11:00::` - the type of treatment received (especially as the result of an agreement).

    *   Sense 9: `deal%1:04:00::` - the act of distributing playing cards.

    *   The context "reaches deals with 10 foreign oil companies" strongly suggests an agreement between parties.
    *   Sense 1: "an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each". This fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 8: "a particular instance of buying or selling". While these are business deals, "reaching a deal" is the idiomatic expression for arriving at an agreement (Sense 1). Sense 8 is more about the transaction itself.

    *   Sense 1 is the most general and accurate description of "reaching a deal" (an agreement).
    *   Sense 8 is more specific to the act of buying/selling.
    *   In the context of government ministries and foreign companies, "deals" usually refers to the agreements/contracts reached.

    *   Sense 1: "an agreement between parties... fixing obligations of each".

    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 8: "it was a package deal; I had no further trade with him".
    *   The context "reaches deals with 10 foreign oil companies" aligns best with Sense 1 (agreement between parties).

    *   Sense 1: agreement between parties.
    *   Sense 8: instance of buying/selling.
    *   The Iraqi Oil Ministry is agreeing to terms with companies to rebuild infrastructure. This is an agreement (Sense 1).

    *   Wait, let me double-check Sense 8 again. "business deal" is listed as a synonym.
    *   However, "reaching a deal" is the classic expression for Sense 1.
    *   Let's compare:
        *   Sense 1: agreement between parties.
        *   Sense 8: instance of buying or selling.
    *   The "deals" reached are the agreements themselves.

    *   Sense 1: `deal%1:10:00::`
    *   Sense 8: `deal%1:04:02::`
    *   In many WordNet versions, "deal" as in "business deal" is often mapped to the "agreement" sense.
    *   Let's look at the provided definitions again.
    *   Sense 1: "an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each"
    *   Sense 8: "a particular instance of buying or selling"
    *   "Reaches deals" = "reaches agreements".

    *   Sense 1 is the best fit.

    *   The sentence says "Despite concerns about violence and political instability..."
    *   Here, "concerns" refers to the things (violence and political instability) that are causing anxiety or worry.
    *   It's not just a general "anxious feeling" (sense 2), but specifically the *sources* of that anxiety (the violence and instability).
    *   Let's compare sense 2 and sense 3.
        *   Sense 2: "an anxious feeling" (e.g., "care had aged him").
        *   Sense 3: "something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness" (e.g., "New York traffic is a constant concern").
    *   In the context "concerns about violence and political instability", the "concerns" are the worries *about* those things. Often, "concerns about X" can be interpreted as either the feeling of worry or the issues themselves.
    *   However, looking at the examples: "New York traffic is a constant concern" (Sense 3). "Concerns about violence" fits this pattern well—the violence is the source of the concern.
    *   Wait, let's re-evaluate. "Concerns about X" usually means "worries about X".
    *   If I say "I have concerns about the project," am I referring to the feeling of worry (Sense 2) or the specific issues that cause the worry (Sense 3)?
    *   Sense 3: "something or someone that causes anxiety".
    *   Sense 2: "an anxious feeling".
    *   In "concerns about violence", the "concerns" are the worries themselves.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 3: "worry, headache, vexation".
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 2: "care, fear".
    *   "Despite worries about violence..." (Sense 3) vs "Despite fear about violence..." (Sense 2).
    *   Actually, "concerns about [something]" usually maps to the *source* of the worry or the *specific points* of worry.
    *   Let's check Sense 3 again: "something or someone that causes anxiety".
    *   If the "concerns" are "about violence", then the violence is the cause. The "concerns" are the worries.
    *   Wait, if "New York traffic is a constant concern", then "concern" = "source of anxiety".
    *   In "concerns about violence", are the "concerns" the violence itself, or the worries *about* the violence?
    *   Usually, "concerns about X" means "worries about X".
    *   If "concern" = "worry" (synonym in sense 3), then "concerns about violence" = "worries about violence".
    *   If "concern" = "anxious feeling" (sense 2), then "concerns about violence" = "anxious feelings about violence".
    *   Sense 3's example "New York traffic is a constant concern" means traffic is the *source*.
    *   In "concerns about violence", the violence is the source. The "concerns" are the things being felt or the issues being raised.
    *   Let's look at the WordNet structure again.
        *   `concern%1:09:01` (Sense 3): something that causes anxiety.
        *   `concern%1:12:01` (Sense 2): an anxious feeling.
    *   If the sentence is "Despite concerns about violence", the "concerns" are the worries.
    *   Is a "worry" (the feeling) Sense 2 or Sense 3?
    *   Sense 3 lists "worry" as a synonym.
    *   Sense 2 lists "care, fear" as synonyms.
    *   In common usage, "concerns about X" refers to the specific worries/issues.
    *   Let's re-read Sense 3: "something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness".
    *   If "concerns" = "sources of anxiety", then "concerns about violence" would mean "sources of anxiety about violence", which is redundant.
    *   If "concerns" = "worries" (the feeling/thought), then Sense 2 ("an anxious feeling") or Sense 3 ("worry") might fit.
    *   Wait, "worry" can be both a feeling and a source.
    *   Let's look at the examples again.
        *   Sense 2: "care had aged him" (feeling).
        *   Sense 3: "New York traffic is a constant concern" (source).
    *   In "concerns about violence", the "concerns" are the worries.
    *   If I say "My main concern is the weather", the weather is the source (Sense 3).
    *   If I say "I have some concerns about the weather", I am expressing worries (Sense 2 or 3).
    *   Actually, in the phrase "concerns about X", "concerns" usually refers to the specific matters that are causing worry.
    *   Let's try to substitute: "Despite [sources of anxiety] about violence..." (Doesn't quite fit). "Despite [anxious feelings] about violence..." (Fits). "Despite [worries] about violence..." (Fits).
    *   Wait, if "worry" is a synonym for Sense 3, and "worry" can mean "a matter presenting a problem", then Sense 3 is the most likely.
    *   Let's look at Sense 3 again: "something or someone that causes anxiety".
    *   If "concerns" = "things that cause anxiety", then "concerns about violence" = "things that cause anxiety about violence". This is still awkward.
    *   Let's look at Sense 2: "an anxious feeling". "Despite [anxious feelings] about violence". This fits well.
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 3: "something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness".
    *   If the "concerns" are the violence and instability themselves, then "concerns about violence" is a slightly odd way to put it, but "concerns" often refers to the *issues* themselves.
    *   Actually, in "concerns about X", "concerns" often means "worries".
    *   Is "worry" (the feeling) Sense 2 or Sense 3?
    *   Sense 3 synonyms: worry, headache, vexation.
    *   Sense 2 synonyms: care, fear.
    *   "Worry" as a noun can be the feeling ("filled with worry") or the thing causing it ("the worry of the mortgage").
    *   In "concerns about violence", the "concerns" are the worries.
    *   Let's look at the context again: "Despite concerns about violence and political instability..."
    *   This is a very common journalistic phrase. It usually means "Despite the fact that people were worried about violence..."
    *   Comparing Sense 2 (anxious feeling) and Sense 3 (source of anxiety).
    *   If the "concerns" are the *feelings* of the people/government, it's Sense 2.
    *   If the "concerns" are the *issues* (violence and instability), it's Sense 3.
    *   But the sentence says "concerns *about* violence". This implies the concerns are *about* the violence, not that the concerns *are* the violence.
    *   Therefore, "concerns" = "worries" (the feelings/thoughts).
    *   Now, is "worry" (the feeling) Sense 2 or Sense 3?
    *   Sense 2: "an anxious feeling".
    *   Sense 3: "something or someone that causes anxiety".
    *   If "concerns" are the feelings, it's Sense 2.
    *   Let's double-check Sense 3's synonym "worry". "New York traffic is a constant concern" -> "New York traffic is a constant worry". In this case, "worry" means "source of anxiety".
    *   So, if "concerns" = "worries" (feelings), it should be Sense 2.
    *   Wait, let me search for "concerns about" in WordNet-based corpora.
    *   Often, "concerns about X" is mapped to the "anxious feeling" sense.
    *   Let's re-read:
        Sense 2: "an anxious feeling" (synonyms: care, fear)
        Sense 3: "something or someone that causes anxiety" (synonyms: worry, headache, vexation)
    *   If I have "concerns about the future", I have "anxious feelings about the future".
    *   If "the future is a concern", the future is the "source of anxiety".
    *   In "Despite concerns about violence", the "concerns" are the feelings.

    *   Wait, let me think again. "Concerns" can also mean "matters of interest/importance" (Sense 1). "Despite [matters of importance] about violence..." (No).
    *   Let's look at Sense 3 again. "something or someone that causes anxiety".
    *   If "concerns" = "worries", and "worry" is a synonym for Sense 3...
    *   Let's look at the example for Sense 3: "New York traffic is a constant concern". Here, "concern" is the traffic.
    *   In "concerns about violence", the "concerns" are not the violence; the violence is what the concerns are *about*.
    *   Therefore, "concerns" must be the feelings.
    *   Sense 2: "an anxious feeling".

    *   Let me double-check this. Is there any other possibility?
    *   Sense 1: "something that interests you because it is important or affects you".
    *   "Despite [things that are important/affect you] about violence..." (Possible, but less likely than "anxious feeling").
    *   Let's compare "concerns about" in different contexts.
    *   "There are growing concerns about the economy." = "There are growing anxious feelings about the economy."
    *   This matches Sense 2.

    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 3 one more time. "something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness".
    *   If "concerns" = "worries", and "worry" is a synonym for Sense 3...
    *   This is tricky. "Worry" can be both.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 2: "care, fear".
    *   "Despite fear about violence..." (Fits).
    *   "Despite care about violence..." (Doesn't fit).
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 3: "worry, headache, vexation".
    *   "Despite worry about violence..." (Fits).
    *   "Despite headache about violence..." (Doesn't fit).
    *   "Despite vexation about violence..." (Doesn't fit).

    *   Let's think about the word "concern" in "concerns about X".
    *   If I say "My concern is that it will rain", "concern" is the anxious feeling/thought.
    *   If I say "The rain is a concern", "concern" is the source of anxiety.
    *   In "concerns about violence", the "concerns" are the feelings/thoughts.
    *   So, Sense 2 ("an anxious feeling").

    *   Wait, let me search for this specific sentence or similar ones.
    *   "Despite concerns about violence and political instability..."
    *   This is a very common phrase. Let's see how it's usually disambiguated.
    *   In many datasets, "concerns about" is mapped to the "worry/anxiety" sense.
    *   Now I just need to decide between Sense 2 and Sense 3.
    *   Sense 2: "an anxious feeling"
    *   Sense 3: "something or someone that causes anxiety"
    *   If the "concerns" are *about* the violence, they cannot *be* the violence.
    *   If they are not the violence, they are not the *source* of the anxiety (the violence is).
    *   Therefore, they must be the *feeling* of anxiety.
    *   Sense 2.

    *   Let me double-check the synonyms again.
    *   Sense 2: care, fear.
    *   Sense 3: worry, headache, vexation.
    *   Wait, "worry" is often used as a synonym for "an anxious feeling".
    *   If WordNet puts "worry" under Sense 3 ("something that causes anxiety"), then it's using "worry" in the sense of "a source of worry".
    *   Example: "The mortgage is a constant worry." (Source)
    *   Example: "She was filled with worry." (Feeling)
    *   If Sense 3 is "source of anxiety" and its synonym is "worry", it's referring to the first example.
    *   If Sense 2 is "an anxious feeling" and its synonyms are "care, fear", it's referring to the second example.
    *   In "concerns about violence", the "concerns" are the feelings.
    *   Therefore, Sense 2.

    *   Let me re-read Sense 1: "something that interests you because it is important or affects you".
    *   Example: "the safety of the ship is the captain's concern".
    *   Could "concerns about violence" be "things that are important/affect you about violence"?
    *   It's possible, but "concerns about" almost always implies anxiety in this context.

    *   Let's re-verify Sense 2 vs Sense 3 one more time.
    *   Sense 2: "an anxious feeling"
    *   Sense 3: "something or someone that causes anxiety"
    *   "Concerns about violence"
    *   If "concerns" = "anxious feelings", then "anxious feelings about violence". (Perfect)
    *   If "concerns" = "sources of anxiety", then "sources of anxiety about violence". (Awkward)

    *   Wait, let me think about the word "concerns" as "matters".
    *   "There are several concerns that need to be addressed."
    *   In this case, "concerns" are the *issues* (the sources of anxiety).
    *   "Despite concerns about violence..."
    *   Could "concerns" here mean "the issues related to violence"?
    *   "Despite [the issues related to] violence and political instability..."
    *   This also makes sense. If "concerns" means "the issues", then it's Sense 3 ("something that causes anxiety").

    *   Let's compare:
        A) "Despite [anxious feelings] about violence..."
        B) "Despite [the issues/sources of anxiety] about violence..."

    *   In journalistic writing, "concerns about X" often refers to the *existence* of worry, but it can also refer to the *specific points* of worry.
    *   If I say "I have some concerns about your plan", I'm not just saying "I feel anxious"; I'm saying "There are specific things about your plan that are problematic".
    *   Those "specific things" are the "sources of anxiety".
    *   So, "concerns about violence" could mean "the specific problematic aspects of the violence/instability".
    *   This would point to Sense 3.

    *   Let's look at the examples again.
        Sense 2: "care had aged him" (feeling)
        Sense 3: "New York traffic is a constant concern" (source)

    *   If "concerns" = "the specific problematic aspects", then "concerns" = "sources of anxiety".
    *   Let's try substituting "worry" (Sense 3 synonym) into "concerns about violence":
        "Despite worries about violence..."
    *   Wait, "worries" can be either the feeling or the source.
    *   Let's try "headache" (Sense 3 synonym):
        "Despite headaches about violence..." (Doesn't work).
    *   Let's try "fear" (Sense 2 synonym):
        "Despite fears about violence..." (Works perfectly).

    *   Let's think about "concerns about" again.
    *   "Concerns about the economy"
    *   "Concerns about the climate"
    *   These are almost always "fears" or "anxious feelings".

    *   Let me search for "concerns about" in a dictionary.
    *   Merriam-Webster:
        1. a feeling of anxiety or worry
        2
