 Adam's apple -
The larynx grows during puberty in males much more than in females, and as a result the Adam's apple is typically more prominent in adult men than in women or pre-pubescent girls or boys.
For some transwomen, the Adam's apple remains more prominent than desired, and this is sometimes remedied by a trachea shave, a type of plastic surgery to reduce the size of the Adam's apple.
It is composed of two platelike laminae that come together on the anterior side of the cartilage to form a peak, called the laryngeal prominence.

Word sense disambiguation has developed as a sub-area of natural language processing, as if, like parsing, it was a well-defined task which was a pre-requisite to a wide range of language-understanding applications.
First, I review earlier work which shows that a set of senses for a word is only ever defined relative to a particular human purpose, and that a view of word senses as part of the linguistic furniture lacks theoretical underpinnings.
