If a computational lexicographer preferentially extracts dictionary example sentences from a corpus that over-represents a specific demographic subgroup, which consequence follows?

A)Improved overall corpus linguistic accuracy
B)Reduced computational processing time required
C)Enhanced generalizability across speaker populations
D)Skewed semantic representation in dictionary entries

💡 Explanation

The preferential extraction of examples from a non-representative corpus introduces bias via sampling bias, therefore skewed semantic representation occurs, rather than improved accuracy, because the definitions and usage examples reflect the subset, not the population. It is also not enhanced generalizability.
