Target lemma: bring
Target surface form: brought
Context:
While this theory is exceedingly simple, it appears to explain several things. First, why ticket splitting has increased and taken the peculiar pattern that it has over the past half century: Prior to the election of Franklin Roosevelt as president and the advent of the New Deal, government occupied a much smaller role in society and the prisoner's dilemma problem confronting voters in races for Congress was considerably less severe. Second, it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally love their own congressional representatives: Any individual legislator's constituents appreciate the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the overall cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency. Third, the theory suggests why legislators who pay too much attention to national policy making relative to local benefit-seeking have lower security in office. For example, first-term - term members of the House, once the most vulnerable of incumbents, have become virtually immune to defeat. The one exception to this recent trend was the defeat of 13 of the 52 freshman Republicans <t>brought</t> into office in 1980 by the Reagan revolution and running for re-election in 1982. Because these freshmen placed far more emphasis on their partisan role -- spreading the Reagan revolution -- in national policy making, they were more vulnerable to defeat.

*   Target lemma: `bring`
    *   Target surface form: `brought`
    *   Context: "...the defeat of 13 of the 52 freshman Republicans <t>brought</t> into office in 1980 by the Reagan revolution..."
    *   Meaning: The Republicans were elected or put into office.

    *   Sense 1: induce or persuade (e.g., confession brought others to admit).
    *   Sense 2: advance or set forth in court (e.g., bring charges).
    *   Sense 3: cause to come into a particular state or condition (e.g., brought them to their competence).
    *   Sense 4: cause to happen or to occur as a consequence (e.g., wreak havoc).
    *   Sense 5: go or come after and bring or take back (e.g., fetch).
    *   Sense 6: attract the attention of (e.g., noise brought the curious).
    *   Sense 7: be sold for a certain price (e.g., painting brought $10,000).
    *   Sense 8: be accompanied by (e.g., bring my cousin).
    *   Sense 9: bestow a quality on (e.g., lend a certain cachet).
    *   Sense 10: take something or somebody with oneself somewhere (e.g., bring me the box).
    *   Sense 11: bring into a different state (e.g., land you in jail).

    *   The phrase is "brought into office".
    *   This means they were placed in a specific state or condition (being in office).
    *   Sense 3: "cause to come into a particular state or condition".
    *   Sense 11: "bring into a different state" (synonym: land).
    *   Let's compare Sense 3 and Sense 11.
        *   Sense 3: "cause to come into a particular state or condition" (Example: "brought them to their competence").
        *   Sense 11: "bring into a different state" (Example: "land you in jail").
    *   "Brought into office" is very similar to "landed in jail" or "brought to a state of competence". It describes the transition to a new status/position.
    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 3 again: "cause to come into a particular state or condition".
    *   Let's look at Sense 11 again: "bring into a different state" (synonym: land).
    *   Actually, "brought into office" is a common idiom meaning they were elected.
    *   Is there a better sense?
    *   Sense 10 (take something/somebody with oneself) doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 4 (cause to happen) doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 3 seems the most general and fitting for "brought into office" (the state of being in office).

    *   Sense 3: "cause to come into a particular state or condition"
    *   Sense 11: "bring into a different state" (synonym: land)
    *   "Land you in jail" is a specific type of "bringing into a state".
    *   "Brought into office" is a transition to a state.
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 3: "brought them to their competence". This is a state of being.
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 11: "land you in jail". This is a destination/state.
    *   Usually, "brought into office" is treated as "caused to enter a position".
    *   Between 3 and 11, 3 is more general. Let's re-evaluate.
    *   Actually, "brought into office" is often used as a passive construction for "the election brought them into office".
    *   If the "Reagan revolution" (the cause) "brought" them "into office" (the state), Sense 3 fits perfectly.

    *   Sense 1: No.
    *   Sense 2: No.
    *   Sense 3: Yes (cause to come into a particular state or condition).
    *   Sense 4: No.
    *   Sense 5: No.
    *   Sense 6: No.
    *   Sense 7: No.
    *   Sense 8: No.
    *   Sense 9: No.
    *   Sense 10: No.
    *   Sense 11: No (too specific to negative outcomes like jail, though "land" can be positive, the gloss "bring into a different state" is very similar to 3).

    *   Sense 3: "cause to come into a particular state or condition"
    *   Sense 11: "bring into a different state"
    *   Sense 3's example "brought them to their competence" is a state.
    *   Sense 11's example "land you in jail" is a state/location.
    *   "Brought into office" is a state of employment/position.
    *   Sense 3 is the standard choice for "bringing someone to a state".

    *   "the defeat of 13 of the 52 freshman Republicans brought into office in 1980 by the Reagan revolution"
    *   The Reagan revolution (cause) brought (action) the Republicans (object) into office (state).
    *   This matches Sense 3.

    *   Sense 4: "holding an office means being in power" (specifically government/power).
    *   The context is about Republicans, the Reagan revolution, and congressional representatives. This is clearly about political power/holding public office.

First, why ticket splitting has increased and taken the peculiar pattern that it has over the past half century: Prior to the election of Franklin Roosevelt as president and the advent of the New Deal, government occupied a much smaller role in society and the prisoner's dilemma problem confronting voters in races for Congress was considerably less severe. Second, it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally love their own congressional representatives: Any individual legislator's constituents appreciate the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the overall cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency. Third, the theory suggests why legislators who pay too much attention to national policy making relative to local benefit-seeking have lower security in office. For example, first-term - term members of the House, once the most vulnerable of incumbents, have become virtually immune to defeat. The one exception to this recent trend was the defeat of 13 of the 52 freshman Republicans brought into office in 1980 by the Reagan revolution and running for re-election in 1982. Because these <t>freshmen</t> placed far more emphasis on their partisan role -- spreading the Reagan revolution -- in national policy making, they were more vulnerable to defeat. Fourth, the theory indicates why the Republican Party may have a difficult time attracting viable candidates for congressional office.

*   Target word: "placed" (lemma: "place")
    *   Context: "Because these freshmen <t>placed</t> far more emphasis on their partisan role -- spreading the Reagan revolution -- in national policy making, they were more vulnerable to defeat."
    *   Meaning: In this context, "placed emphasis" means they put or assigned a certain amount of importance or focus on something.

    *   1: arrange for (phone call, bet) - No.
    *   2: assign a location to (locate, site) - No.
    *   3: recognize as being (identify) - No.

    *   5: sing a note with correct pitch - No.

    *   7: finish second or better in a race - No.
    *   8: estimate (put, set) - "We put the time of arrival at 8 P.M." - This is close to "put/set" but usually refers to numbers or estimates.
    *   9: assign to a station (station, post, send) - No.
    *   10: assign to a job or home - No.
    *   11: intend (something) to move towards a certain goal (target, aim, direct, point) - No.
    *   12: make an investment (invest, put, commit) - No.
    *   13: locate (set, localize) - No.
    *   14: take a place in a competition - No.
    *   15: put into a certain place or abstract location (put, set, pose, position, lay) - "Put your things here; Set the tray down." This sense includes "abstract location." Placing emphasis is a common metaphorical use of "put" or "set."
    *   16: identify the location or place of (localize) - No.

    *   "Placed emphasis" is a very common collocation.
    *   Looking at sense 15: "put into a certain place or abstract location". "Emphasis" is an abstract concept. "Placing emphasis" is essentially "putting emphasis" on something.
    *   Looking at sense 8: "estimate (put, set)". "We put the time of arrival at 8 P.M." This is more about estimation.
    *   Looking at sense 6: "assign a rank or rating to". Not really ranking.

    *   Sense 15: "put into a certain place or abstract location | synonyms=put, set, pose, position, lay".
    *   Example: "Put your things here".
    *   Metaphorical use: "Place/put emphasis on something." This fits the "abstract location" part of the definition.

    *   Is there a better sense?
    *   Sense 8 (estimate) doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 6 (rank) doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 15 is the most general "put" sense, which covers abstract placement like "placing emphasis," "placing importance," or "placing blame."

    *   Target: "placed far more emphasis"
    *   Sense 15: "put into a certain place or abstract location"
    *   This matches perfectly.

    *   It's about the *significance* or *priority* they assigned to a specific role.

    *   Sense 3: "special importance or significance". This fits perfectly. When someone "places emphasis on" a goal or role, they are treating it as especially important.

    *   Sense 1: "special and significant stress by means of position or repetition". This is more about the *act* of emphasizing in a text or speech.
    *   Sense 4: "intensity or forcefulness of expression". This is about *how* something is expressed (vehemence).
    *   The context is about the *focus* of their political activity, not the *way* they spoke about it.

    *   Context: "...Because these freshmen placed far more emphasis on their partisan role -- <t>spreading</t> the Reagan revolution -- in national policy making, they were more vulnerable to defeat."

    *   The phrase is "spreading the Reagan revolution".
    *   "The Reagan revolution" refers to a political movement, a set of ideas, or a political shift.
    *   "Spreading" in this context means promoting, disseminating, or propagating these ideas/this movement to a wider audience or across the country.

    *   Sense 1: spread across or over (physical, e.g., oil spot) - No.
    *   Sense 2: distribute over a surface in a layer (physical, e.g., cheese) - No.
    *   Sense 3: distribute or disperse widely (e.g., language) - Possible, but often refers to the result or a more general distribution.
    *   Sense 4: move outward (physical, e.g., soldiers) - No.
    *   Sense 5: become widely known and passed on (intransitive, e.g., rumor spread) - No, "spreading" here is transitive (spreading *the revolution*).
    *   Sense 6: cause to become widely known (transitive, synonyms: circulate, disseminate, propagate; examples: spread information) - This fits perfectly. "Spreading the Reagan revolution" means disseminating the ideas/goals of that revolution.
    *   Sense 7: become distributed or widespread (intransitive, e.g., infection spread) - No.
    *   Sense 8: spread out or open from a closed state (physical, e.g., map) - No.
    *   Sense 9: cover by spreading something over (physical, e.g., bread with cheese) - No.
    *   Sense 10: strew or distribute over an area (physical, e.g., fertilizer) - No.

    *   Sense 3: "distribute or disperse widely" (Example: "The invaders spread their language all over the country").
    *   Sense 6: "cause to become widely known" (Synonyms: disseminate, propagate; Example: "spread information").

    Comparing the two: "The Reagan revolution" is more like a set of ideas/political movement than a physical object or a language (though language is an abstract concept, it's often treated as a cultural artifact). "Cause to become widely known" (Sense 6) aligns better with the active promotion of a political agenda.

    *   Sense 6 synonyms: disseminate, propagate.
    *   "Propagating the Reagan revolution" or "disseminating the Reagan revolution" makes perfect sense in a political context.

    *   Sense 6 is the best fit.

    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `revolution%1:11:00`: a single complete turn (axial or orbital)
        2.  `revolution%1:11:01`: a drastic and far-reaching change in ways of thinking and behaving
        3.  `revolution%1:04:00`: the overthrow of a government by those who are governed

    *   The context refers to the "Reagan revolution."
    *   Ronald Reagan's election in 1980 is widely described as a "revolution" in terms of a shift in political ideology, policy, and governance (conservative shift), rather than a violent overthrow of the government (sense 3) or a physical rotation (sense 1).
    *   Sense 2 ("a drastic and far-reaching change in ways of thinking and behaving") fits the description of a political shift or a paradigm shift in governance/policy.
    *   Sense 3 ("the overthrow of a government") implies a coup or a violent uprising, which did not happen in the 1980 US election.

    *   Sense 1: Physical rotation. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 2: Drastic change in thinking/behaving. (Correct - fits the "Reagan revolution" as a shift in political direction).
    *   Sense 3: Overthrow of government. (Incorrect - Reagan was elected through a democratic process).

    *   The "Reagan revolution" is a classic example of a political shift in ideology and policy, fitting the "drastic and far-reaching change" definition.

Target lemma: national
Target surface form: national
Context:
First, why ticket splitting has increased and taken the peculiar pattern that it has over the past half century: Prior to the election of Franklin Roosevelt as president and the advent of the New Deal, government occupied a much smaller role in society and the prisoner's dilemma problem confronting voters in races for Congress was considerably less severe. Second, it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally love their own congressional representatives: Any individual legislator's constituents appreciate the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the overall cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency. Third, the theory suggests why legislators who pay too much attention to national policy making relative to local benefit-seeking have lower security in office. For example, first-term - term members of the House, once the most vulnerable of incumbents, have become virtually immune to defeat. The one exception to this recent trend was the defeat of 13 of the 52 freshman Republicans brought into office in 1980 by the Reagan revolution and running for re-election in 1982. Because these freshmen placed far more emphasis on their partisan role -- spreading the Reagan revolution -- in <t>national</t> policy making, they were more vulnerable to defeat. Fourth, the theory indicates why the Republican Party may have a difficult time attracting viable candidates for congressional office.

    *   The sentence is about the Republican Party having a hard time getting viable candidates to run for office.
    *   "Attracting viable candidates" means the party is trying to draw people in or make the prospect of running for the party appealing so that they decide to run.

    *   Sense 2 (physical force/gravity) is clearly incorrect.
    *   Sense 3 (be attractive to/appeal) describes the quality of being appealing. "The Republican Party may have a difficult time *being attractive to* viable candidates."
    *   Sense 1 (direct toward itself/draw in) describes the action of bringing people in. "The Republican Party may have a difficult time *drawing in* viable candidates."

    *   Sense 1: "direct toward itself... by means of some psychological power... synonyms=pull, pull in, draw, draw in". Example: "The ad pulled in many potential customers."
    *   Sense 3: "be attractive to... synonyms=appeal". Example: "The beautiful garden attracted many people."

    Wait, let's look closer.
    "The Republican Party may have a difficult time attracting viable candidates."
    Is the party *drawing them in* (Sense 1) or is the party *appealing to* them (Sense 3)?

    In the example "The ad pulled in many potential customers," the ad is the agent that attracts the customers.
    In the example "The beautiful garden attracted many people," the garden is the thing that is attractive.

    Comparing "attracting viable candidates" to "pulled in many potential customers" (Sense 1) and "attracted many people" (Sense 3).

    Sense 1 focuses on the *action* of drawing someone in (often via a mechanism like an ad or looks).
    Sense 3 focuses on the *quality* of being appealing.

    In the context of a political party seeking candidates, it's about the party's ability to draw people to join or run. This is very similar to "pulling in customers."

    Let's re-read the glosses:
    Sense 1: "direct toward itself or oneself by means of some psychological power or physical attributes"
    Sense 3: "be attractive to"

    If we substitute:
    1. "...difficult time directing viable candidates toward itself..."
    3. "...difficult time being attractive to viable candidates..."

    Actually, "attracting candidates" is a very common collocation. Usually, it means the party is not appealing enough to make candidates want to run.

    Let's look at the synonyms again.
    Sense 1: pull, pull in, draw, draw in.
    Sense 3: appeal.

    "The Republican Party may have a difficult time appealing to viable candidates" (Sense 3) vs "The Republican Party may have a difficult time drawing in viable candidates" (Sense 1).

    Looking at the examples again:
    Sense 1: "The ad pulled in many potential customers." (The ad is the tool used to attract).
    Sense 3: "The beautiful garden attracted many people." (The garden's inherent quality attracts).

    The Republican Party (as an organization/entity) is trying to get candidates. This is more like the "garden" (the entity itself is the draw) or the "ad" (the party's platform/benefits are the draw).

    Wait, "attract" in the sense of "drawing in" (Sense 1) and "being appealing" (Sense 3) are very close. Let's see if there's a nuance.
    Sense 1: "direct toward itself... by means of some psychological power..."
    Sense 3: "be attractive to"

    In "attracting viable candidates," the party is the agent.
    If I say "The job attracts many applicants," is that Sense 1 or Sense 3?
    If the job is "attractive," it "attracts" applicants.

    Let's look at the WordNet hierarchy if possible (mentally).
    `attract%2:35:00` (draw in)
    `attract%2:37:00` (appeal)

    Usually, "attract candidates" means the position or the organization is appealing to them.

    Let's re-examine Sense 1: "direct toward itself or oneself by means of some psychological power or physical attributes".
    Let's re-examine Sense 3: "be attractive to".

    If the party is "attracting candidates," it is *being attractive to* them.

    Let's check the examples again.
    Sense 1: "The ad pulled in many potential customers."
    Sense 3: "The beautiful garden attracted many people."

    The "ad" is a medium. The "garden" is the thing itself. The "Republican Party" is the thing itself.

    Therefore, Sense 3 ("be attractive to") fits better than Sense 1 ("direct toward itself... by means of...").

    Wait, let me double-check.
    "The Republican Party may have a difficult time attracting viable candidates."
    Does this mean the party is failing to *be attractive* to them, or failing to *draw them in*?
    In most linguistic contexts, "attracting [people]" where the subject is an organization or a position is treated as "being appealing to."

    Let's look at Sense 1 again: "direct toward itself... by means of some psychological power". This sounds more like a specific act of attraction (like a magnet or a specific lure).
    Sense 3: "be attractive to". This is a more general state of being appealing.

    The context "Potential candidates may be discouraged from running..." suggests that the *prospect* of running is not appealing. This aligns perfectly with Sense 3 ("be attractive to" / "appeal").

    Sense 1: pull in, draw in.
    Sense 3: appeal.

    "The Republican Party may have a difficult time appealing to viable candidates." (Sense 3)
    "The Republican Party may have a difficult time drawing in viable candidates." (Sense 1)

    Both work, but "be attractive to" (Sense 3) captures the essence of the candidates' discouragement better.

    Let's re-read the examples one more time.
    Sense 1: "Her good looks attract the stares of many men" (The looks are the attribute).
    Sense 3: "The beautiful garden attracted many people" (The garden is the entity).

    The Republican Party is the entity.

    Wait, I just noticed something.
    Sense 1: "direct toward itself... by means of some psychological power or physical attributes"
    Sense 3: "be attractive to"

    If the party is the subject, and the candidates are the object, "attracting candidates" means the party is the thing that is attractive.

    Let's try to find this specific WordNet sense in other examples.
    "Attract attention" -> Sense 1.
    "Attract customers" -> Sense 1 (often).
    "Attract candidates" -> Sense 3 (often).

    Actually, looking at the examples provided:
    Sense 1: "The ad pulled in many potential customers"
    Sense 3: "The beautiful garden attracted many people"

    The "ad" is a tool. The "garden" is the destination/entity.
    The "Republican Party" is the entity.

    Therefore, Sense 3 is the most fitting.

Target lemma: candidate
Target surface form: candidates
Context:
Second, it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally love their own congressional representatives: Any individual legislator's constituents appreciate the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the overall cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency. Third, the theory suggests why legislators who pay too much attention to national policy making relative to local benefit-seeking have lower security in office. For example, first-term - term members of the House, once the most vulnerable of incumbents, have become virtually immune to defeat. The one exception to this recent trend was the defeat of 13 of the 52 freshman Republicans brought into office in 1980 by the Reagan revolution and running for re-election in 1982. Because these freshmen placed far more emphasis on their partisan role -- spreading the Reagan revolution -- in national policy making, they were more vulnerable to defeat. Fourth, the theory indicates why the Republican Party may have a difficult time attracting viable <t>candidates</t> for congressional office. Potential candidates may be discouraged from running less by the congressional salary than by the prospect of defeat at the hands of a Democratic opponent.

*   Target lemma: `candidate`
    *   Target surface form: `candidates`
    *   Context: "...the theory indicates why the Republican Party may have a difficult time attracting viable <t>candidates</t> for congressional office. Potential candidates may be discouraged from running..."
    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `candidate%1:18:00`: someone who is considered for something (for an office or prize or honor etc.)
        2.  `candidate%1:18:01`: a politician who is running for public office

    *   The context mentions "attracting viable candidates for congressional office" and "Potential candidates may be discouraged from running".
    *   Sense 1 is a general term for someone considered for something (office, prize, etc.).
    *   Sense 2 is specifically a politician running for public office.

    *   The text refers to people the Republican Party wants to attract to run for "congressional office".
    *   While they are "running for public office" (Sense 2), the context specifically mentions "attracting viable candidates" and "Potential candidates may be discouraged from running".
    *   Sense 2 ("a politician who is running for public office") implies they are *already* running or are known as politicians.
    *   Sense 1 ("someone who is considered for something (for an office...)") fits better for "potential candidates" who might be "attracted" to run.
    *   However, in the context of "candidates for congressional office", this is the quintessential definition of a political candidate.
    *   Let's re-evaluate:
        *   Sense 1: General (office, prize, honor).
        *   Sense 2: Specific (politician running for public office).
    *   The context is explicitly about congressional office (public office).
    *   Is a "potential candidate" a "politician who is running"? Not yet. They are "someone who is considered" (or considers themselves) for the office.
    *   Wait, looking at the synonyms:
        *   Sense 1: prospect
        *   Sense 2: campaigner, nominee
    *   "Attracting viable candidates" -> "Attracting viable prospects".
    *   "Potential candidates" -> "Potential prospects".
    *   If they are already "campaigners" or "nominees", they are already candidates. The text talks about *attracting* them to run.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 (someone considered for an office) is a slightly better fit for "potential candidates" and those being "attracted" to run, whereas Sense 2 describes someone already in the process of running.

    *   "attracting viable candidates for congressional office"
    *   "Potential candidates may be discouraged from running"
    *   If they are "discouraged from running", they aren't yet "running for public office" (Sense 2). They are people who *could* be candidates (Sense 1).

    *   Sense 1: someone who is considered for something (for an office...)
    *   Sense 2: a politician who is running for public office.
    *   The text discusses the difficulty of getting people to *become* candidates (attracting them, potential candidates). This aligns more with the "prospect" (Sense 1) than the "campaigner/nominee" (Sense 2).

    *   Sense 1: candidate%1:18:00
    *   Sense 2: candidate%1:18:01
    *   The target is "candidates".
    *   Context: "attracting viable candidates for congressional office."
    *   Context: "Potential candidates may be discouraged from running..."
    *   Sense 1 is the broader category; Sense 2 is the specific application to politics. Usually, in WSD, the most specific correct sense is preferred.
    *   Is a person being attracted to run for office a "politician who is running for public office"? No, they aren't running yet. They are a "prospect" for the office.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the most accurate.
