The next part shows examples of creating similar dictionaries for French and Polish. Two proposals to conduct research on the structure of languages are adjusted to the specifi cs of each of them. The article discusses the methodology of conducting research and the fi nal effect. The summary contains suggestions for conducting similar research for the Ukrainian language.
