Target lemma: idea
Target surface form: idea
Context:
For decades, appeals courts have recognized that coverage of notorious cases can raise questions about a trial's fairness. In a landmark 1966 ruling, the United States Supreme Court overturned the conviction of a Cleveland osteopath, Dr. Sam Sheppard, for the murder of his wife, saying in its decision, Sheppard v. Maxwell, that there was a "carnival atmosphere at trial" because of the news media. The crime is believed by some to have been the inspiration for the television show and the movie "The Fugitive." Some lawyers said appeals courts reviewing Mr. Hayes's conviction half a century later might be intrigued by the argument that new rules could be necessary to govern ways of communicating from courtrooms unimagined at the time of Dr. Sheppard's case. "There is a general reason for concern about the impact of the new media" in high-profile trials, said John J. Donohue III, a Stanford Law School professor who studied the Connecticut death penalty and wrote a report that said it was arbitrarily enforced. Professor Donohue said some appeals judges might be intrigued by the <t>idea</t> that limiting instant communication from courtrooms might make trials fairer. The Twitter issue is just one of many outlined by Mr. Hayes's lawyers that are likely to be argued for years, delaying an execution.

    *   Context: "Professor Donohue said some appeals judges might be intrigued by the <t>idea</t> that limiting instant communication from courtrooms might make trials fairer."

    *   Sense 1: `idea%1:09:01::` - intention; what you intend to do (e.g., "the idea of the game is to capture all the pieces").
    *   Sense 2: `idea%1:10:00::` - (music) melodic subject (e.g., "the theme is announced").
    *   Sense 3: `idea%1:09:03::` - a personal view (e.g., "he has an idea that we don't like him").
    *   Sense 4: `idea%1:09:00::` - the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about; a thought (e.g., "it was not a good idea").
    *   Sense 5: `idea%1:09:02::` - an approximate calculation (e.g., "a rough idea how long it would take").

    *   The sentence is: "...some appeals judges might be intrigued by the idea that limiting instant communication from courtrooms might make trials fairer."
    *   Here, "the idea" refers to the proposition or concept that "limiting instant communication from courtrooms might make trials fairer."
    *   Is it an intention (Sense 1)? No.
    *   Is it a musical theme (Sense 2)? No.
    *   Is it a personal view (Sense 3)? It's a proposition/concept being presented as an argument. Sense 3 ("a personal view") often implies a belief or a notion (sometimes mistaken).
    *   Is it the content of cognition/a thought (Sense 4)? Yes, it's a concept or a proposition. "The idea that [clause]" is a very common way to introduce a thought or a proposal.
    *   Is it an estimate (Sense 5)? No.

    *   Sense 3: "a personal view" (e.g., "he has an idea that we don't like him"). This often refers to a belief or a suspicion.
    *   Sense 4: "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about" (synonym: thought). Example: "it was not a good idea".
    *   In the context "the idea that limiting instant communication... might make trials fairer", this is a proposition or a conceptual suggestion.
    *   Comparing "personal view" vs "content of cognition/thought":
        *   "The idea that..." often introduces a specific thought or proposal.
        *   If the judges are "intrigued by the idea", they are intrigued by the *concept* or *proposition*.
        *   Sense 4 is broader and covers "a thought" or "a concept".
        *   Sense 3 is more about a specific belief held by someone.

    *   Let's look at Sense 4 again: "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about".
    *   Let's look at Sense 3 again: "a personal view".
    *   The phrase "the idea that [clause]" is frequently used to mean "the notion that" or "the proposition that".
    *   In many WordNet-based datasets, "the idea that..." (meaning a concept or proposition) maps to the general "thought/concept" sense (Sense 4) rather than a "personal view" (Sense 3), unless it's specifically a mistaken belief or a subjective opinion.
    *   However, "limiting instant communication... might make trials fairer" is a proposition/argument.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 4: "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about".
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 3: "a personal view".
    *   If I say "I have an idea that it will rain," that's a personal view/belief (Sense 3).
    *   If I say "The idea that the earth is flat is wrong," that's a concept/notion (Sense 4).
    *   In the text, "the idea that limiting instant communication... might make trials fairer" is a proposition being argued by lawyers. This fits "the content of cognition" or "a thought/concept" (Sense 4) better than a "personal view" (Sense 3), although they are close.

    *   Wait, let's look at the examples for Sense 4: "it was not a good idea; the thought never entered my mind".
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 3: "he has an idea that we don't like him".
    *   The context "intrigued by the idea that..." suggests a proposition or a conceptual possibility.
    *   Actually, "the idea that..." often maps to Sense 4 (thought/concept).

    *   Sense 1: Intention (No)
    *   Sense 2: Music (No)
    *   Sense 3: Personal view (Maybe)
    *   Sense 4: Content of cognition/thought (Yes)
    *   Sense 5: Estimate (No)

    *   Is "the idea that limiting instant communication... might make trials fairer" a "personal view"? It's an argument/proposition.
    *   Is it "the content of cognition"? Yes, it's the specific thought being considered.
    *   In many linguistic contexts, "the idea that..." where it introduces a clause is treated as a "notion" or "concept", which falls under Sense 4.

    *   Sense 3: "a personal view" (e.g., "he has an idea that we don't like him"). This is often a belief.
    *   Sense 4: "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about" (synonym: thought).
    *   The judges are intrigued by the *proposition* (the thought/concept). This fits Sense 4 better.

    *   Wait, let me double-check Sense 3 again. "a personal view". If the lawyers are presenting an argument, is that a "personal view"? Yes, but the "idea" itself is the proposition.
    *   Let's look at Sense 4 again. "the content of cognition".
    *   Actually, looking at how these are often tagged in SemCor or similar corpora, "the idea that..." (proposition) usually goes to the general "thought" sense.

    *   Sense 4: "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about"
    *   Sense 3: "a personal view"
    *   "the idea that limiting instant communication from courtrooms might make trials fairer"
    *   This is a conceptual proposition. Sense 4 is the most fitting.

    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `communication%1:03:00::`: something that is communicated by or to or between people or groups (the message/content).
        2.  `communication%1:10:01::`: the activity of communicating; the activity of conveying information (the process/act).
        3.  `communication%1:24:00::`: a connection allowing access between persons or places (the physical or logical link/channel).

    *   The sentence is: "...limiting instant communication from courtrooms might make trials fairer."
    *   The following sentence mentions "The Twitter issue," which refers to the act of tweeting (sending information) from the courtroom.
    *   "Instant communication" here refers to the *act* or *process* of conveying information quickly (via Twitter, etc.), rather than a specific message (sense 1) or a physical passageway/connection (sense 3).

    *   Sense 1: "something that is communicated" (e.g., a letter, a message). "Limiting instant communication" doesn't mean limiting the *messages* themselves as much as the *activity* of sending them.
    *   Sense 2: "the activity of communicating; the activity of conveying information". This fits perfectly. Limiting the *activity* of conveying information (tweeting) from the courtroom.
    *   Sense 3: "a connection allowing access" (e.g., a phone line, a hallway). While Twitter uses a connection, the context is about the *act* of communicating information, not the physical infrastructure.

    *   The context "limiting instant communication from courtrooms" and the reference to "The Twitter issue" strongly point to the activity of conveying information.

Target lemma: judge
Target surface form: Judge
Context:
The crime is believed by some to have been the inspiration for the television show and the movie "The Fugitive." Some lawyers said appeals courts reviewing Mr. Hayes's conviction half a century later might be intrigued by the argument that new rules could be necessary to govern ways of communicating from courtrooms unimagined at the time of Dr. Sheppard's case. "There is a general reason for concern about the impact of the new media" in high-profile trials, said John J. Donohue III, a Stanford Law School professor who studied the Connecticut death penalty and wrote a report that said it was arbitrarily enforced. Professor Donohue said some appeals judges might be intrigued by the idea that limiting instant communication from courtrooms might make trials fairer. The Twitter issue is just one of many outlined by Mr. Hayes's lawyers that are likely to be argued for years, delaying an execution. The defense lawyers also claim, for example, that Mr. Hayes may have been prejudiced when <t>Judge</t> Blue declined to allow them to test potential jurors' reactions by showing them grisly crime-scene photographs during jury selection.

    *   The judge directed the jury to deliberate over a weekend.
    *   The defense argues this "improperly added pressure for a verdict."
    *   This means the judge's action created a feeling of urgency or a compelling force that pushed the jury to reach a decision faster or in a certain way.

    *   Sense 1 ("a force that compels") fits well. The judge's decision acted as a force compelling the jury to reach a verdict.
    *   Sense 3 ("an oppressive condition of physical or mental or social or economic distress") is possible, as the jury might feel mental distress/stress, but "pressure for a verdict" is more about the *compulsion* to act rather than just the *state* of distress.
    *   Sense 2 ("the state of demanding notice or attention") doesn't fit as well as Sense 1.
    *   Senses 4, 5, 6, and 7 are physical/scientific and clearly incorrect.

    *   Sense 1: "a force that compels" (Example: "the public brought pressure to bear on the government"). This matches the idea of the judge's action compelling the jury.
    *   Sense 3: "an oppressive condition of... mental... distress". While the jury might feel stressed, the phrase "pressure for a verdict" describes the *influence* exerted to achieve a result.

    *   "Pressure for a verdict" is a classic example of a compelling force (Sense 1).

    *   Sense 1: `pressure%1:07:00::`
    *   Sense 2: `pressure%1:26:00::`
    *   Sense 3: `pressure%1:26:01::`
    *   Sense 4: `pressure%1:19:00::`
    *   Sense 5: `pressure%1:19:01::`
    *   Sense 6: `pressure%1:09:00::`
    *   Sense 7: `pressure%1:04:00::`

    Wait, let me re-read Sense 1 and Sense 3.
    Sense 1: "a force that compels"
    Sense 3: "an oppressive condition of physical or mental or social or economic distress"

    In the context "improperly added pressure for a verdict", the judge is creating a situation that *compels* the jury to reach a decision. This is a "force that compels".

    Let's check if Sense 3 is better. "Oppressive condition of mental distress" (stress). While the jury might feel stress, the "pressure for a verdict" is the *cause* or the *influence* being applied.

    Comparing "public pressure on the government" (Sense 1) with "pressure for a verdict", they are very similar. Both describe an external influence pushing for a specific outcome.

    Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

Target lemma: jury
Target surface form: jury
Context:
"There is a general reason for concern about the impact of the new media" in high-profile trials, said John J. Donohue III, a Stanford Law School professor who studied the Connecticut death penalty and wrote a report that said it was arbitrarily enforced. Professor Donohue said some appeals judges might be intrigued by the idea that limiting instant communication from courtrooms might make trials fairer. The Twitter issue is just one of many outlined by Mr. Hayes's lawyers that are likely to be argued for years, delaying an execution. The defense lawyers also claim, for example, that Mr. Hayes may have been prejudiced when Judge Blue declined to allow them to test potential jurors' reactions by showing them grisly crime-scene photographs during jury selection. Some of the jurors have said they were horrified by the photographs of the victims, Jennifer Hawke-Petit, 48, and her daughters, Hayley, 17, and Michaela, 11. The defense lawyers say they will also challenge the constitutionality of the death penalty and argue that the judge wrongly removed a juror who had been critical of prosecutors and that he improperly added pressure for a verdict by his unusual decision to direct the <t>jury</t> to deliberate over a weekend. The jurors were not sequestered.

    *   Surrounding context: The text discusses legal challenges, lawyers arguing points in court, challenges to a verdict, and the effect of media coverage on a trial.

    *   Sense 1: A discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal (debate).
    *   Sense 2: A fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true (statement).
    *   Sense 3: (Computer science) a reference or value passed to a function.
    *   Sense 4: A course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood (logical reasoning).
    *   Sense 5: A summary of the subject or plot of a literary work.
    *   Sense 6: A contentious speech act; a dispute where there is strong disagreement (fight/quarrel).
    *   Sense 7: A variable in a logical or mathematical expression.

    *   The sentence is: "But their <t>arguments</t> about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest."
    *   "Their" refers to the defense lawyers.
    *   The "arguments" are the points/assertions they are making in their legal challenge to the verdict.
    *   They are presenting reasons/assertions to support their claim that the trial was prejudiced by media coverage.

    *   Sense 1 (debate) is a process of discussion.
    *   Sense 2 (fact or assertion offered as evidence) fits well. The lawyers are offering assertions/reasons as evidence that the trial was unfair.
    *   Sense 4 (course of reasoning) also fits, as legal arguments are lines of reasoning.
    *   Sense 6 (dispute/quarrel) is too emotional/interpersonal.

    *   Sense 2: "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true"
    *   Sense 4: "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood"
    *   In a legal context, "arguments" usually refers to the specific points or assertions (Sense 2) or the overall reasoning (Sense 4) presented to the court.
    *   Looking at the sentence: "their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage... may draw the most interest." This refers to the specific points/assertions they are making.
    *   Comparing Sense 2 and Sense 4: Sense 2 is more about the specific assertion/statement, while Sense 4 is about the logical process. Legal "arguments" in a brief or a challenge are typically assertions/reasons (Sense 2).

    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 1 again: "a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal". This is more like a "debate".
    *   Let's look at Sense 2 again: "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true".
    *   Let's look at Sense 4 again: "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood".
    *   In legal terms, an "argument" is the reasoning used to persuade the judge/jury.
    *   Example for Sense 2: "it was a strong argument that his hypothesis was true".
    *   Example for Sense 4: "I can't follow your line of reasoning".
    *   The lawyers' "arguments about the effect of the intense coverage" are the assertions/reasons they are presenting to prove the trial was unfair. This aligns closely with Sense 2.

    *   Sense 2: "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true"
    *   Sense 4: "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood"
    *   Often, in these datasets, legal arguments (the points made) are mapped to Sense 2. Let's double-check.
    *   If they are "arguments about the effect", they are assertions that the effect was X.

    *   Sense 1: Debate (the process).
    *   Sense 2: Assertion/Statement (the point made).
    *   Sense 4: Logical reasoning (the process of reasoning).
    *   Sense 6: Quarrel (the fight).
    *   The lawyers are making specific points (assertions) in their challenge. Sense 2 fits best.

    *   "But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest."
    *   These are the specific points/assertions they are putting forward.

    *   Sense 2: "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true"
    *   Sense 4: "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood"
    *   Actually, Sense 2 is very close to "a point made in an argument". Sense 4 is the "line of reasoning".
    *   In the context of "arguments about [topic]", it usually refers to the assertions/points made.

    *   Sense 2: "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true"
    *   Sense 4: "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood"
    *   If I say "My argument is that the defendant was not there," that is an assertion (Sense 2).
    *   If I say "Follow my argument," I am referring to the reasoning (Sense 4).
    *   "Their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage" refers to the assertions they are making.

    *   Sense 1: Discussion/Debate.
    *   Sense 2: Assertion/Statement.
    *   Sense 4: Logical reasoning.
    *   Sense 6: Dispute/Quarrel.
    *   The lawyers are presenting assertions to the court. Sense 2 is the most precise fit for the "points" they are making.

    *   Sense 4: "the power of attracting or holding one's attention (because it is unusual or exciting etc.)"

    *   Sense 2 describes the *feeling* of curiosity (the state of being interested).
    *   Sense 4 describes the *quality* of being interesting (the power to attract attention).
    *   "Draw the most interest" typically means attracting the most attention/curiosity from the public or observers.
    *   Looking at the examples:
        *   Sense 2: "an interest in music" (a person's hobby or curiosity).
        *   Sense 4: "nothing of great interest" (nothing that attracts attention).
    *   In "draw the most interest," "interest" refers to the attention/curiosity that the subject generates in others.
    *   Comparing "draw interest" (attract attention) with the definitions:
        *   Sense 4: "the power of attracting or holding one's attention". If something "draws interest," it is because it possesses this power, or it is attracting the *attention* itself.
        *   Sense 2: "a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something". If something "draws interest," it is drawing the *curiosity* of others.

    *   Wait, let's re-evaluate. "Draw interest" is a common collocation.
    *   If I say "The movie drew a lot of interest," I mean people were curious about it (Sense 2) or it had the quality of being interesting (Sense 4).
    *   Let's look at the synonyms:
        *   Sense 2: involvement
        *   Sense 4: interestingness
    *   "Draw the most interestingness" doesn't sound right. "Draw the most curiosity/concern" (Sense 2) sounds better.
    *   However, "draw interest" often means to attract attention.
    *   Let's check Sense 4 again: "the power of attracting or holding one's attention".
    *   Let's check Sense 2 again: "a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something".
    *   If the arguments "draw the most interest," they are attracting the curiosity/attention of the public.
    *   In many WordNet-based datasets, "draw interest" or "attract interest" maps to the sense of curiosity/attention.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 4: "nothing of great interest" (nothing interesting).
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 2: "an interest in music" (curiosity/concern).
    *   If the arguments "draw the most interest," they are drawing the *curiosity* of the observers.

    *   Sense 2: "a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something"
    *   Sense 4: "the power of attracting or holding one's attention"
    *   If something "draws interest," it is attracting the *feeling* of curiosity (Sense 2) or it is attracting *attention* (which is the result of the power described in Sense 4).
    *   Actually, "draw interest" usually means to attract the curiosity of people.
    *   Let's re-read: "But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest."
    *   This means people will be most curious about these arguments.
    *   Sense 2: "a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something".
    *   Sense 4: "the power of attracting or holding one's attention".
    *   If you "draw interest," you are attracting the *curiosity* (Sense 2). If something "is of interest," it has the *power* to attract (Sense 4).
    *   Example: "The new exhibit drew a lot of interest" -> People were curious about it.
    *   Example: "The book is of little interest to me" -> The book lacks the power to attract my attention.

    *   Sense 2: curiosity/concern.
    *   Sense 4: interestingness/attractiveness.
    *   "Draw the most interest" = attract the most curiosity.
    *   Therefore, Sense 2 is the better fit.

    *   Wait, let me double-check.
    *   Sense 2: "a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something"
    *   Sense 4: "the power of attracting or holding one's attention"
    *   If I say "The news drew a lot of interest," I mean it attracted a lot of *curiosity* (Sense 2).
    *   If I say "The news was of great interest," I mean it had the *quality* of being interesting (Sense 4).
    *   The phrase "draw interest" specifically refers to the attention/curiosity being pulled toward the object.

    *   Sense 2: curiosity/concern.
    *   Sense 4: power of attracting attention.
    *   "Draw the most interest" -> attract the most curiosity.
    *   Sense 2 seems more appropriate for the *thing being drawn*.

    *   Sense 2: "a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something"
    *   Sense 4: "the power of attracting or holding one's attention"
    *   If you "draw interest," you are attracting the *curiosity* of others.
    *   Let's check other sources for "draw interest".
    *   "Draw interest" = attract attention/curiosity.
    *   Sense 2 is "a sense of concern with and curiosity".
    *   Sense 4 is "the power of attracting... attention".
    *   If the arguments "draw the most interest," they are attracting the *curiosity* (Sense 2).

    *   Sense 2: "a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something"
    *   Sense 4: "the power of attracting or holding one's attention"
    *   Actually, looking at it again, "draw interest" often means to attract attention. Is "attention" closer to "curiosity" (Sense 2) or "the power of attracting attention" (Sense 4)?
    *   You don't draw "the power of attracting attention"; you draw the *attention* itself.
    *   Therefore, "interest" in "draw interest" must be the *attention/curiosity* (Sense 2), not the *power* to attract it (Sense 4).

    *   Sense 2: curiosity/concern.
    *   Sense 4: interestingness.
    *   "Draw the most interest" = attract the most curiosity.
    *   Sense 2 is the best fit.
