Abstract
The paper describes elements of the model of Polish language semantics, which have been developed for the system Thetos; Thetos translates Polish texts into a dialect of the Polish Sign Language. Translation takes place after the stage of semantic analysis, first of all after the predicate-argument structure of sentence is determined. Among other things, we discuss issues connected to semantic interpretation of syntactic groups (SGs), in that – semantic classification of noun SGs and verb SGs, and problems of deducing semantic relations from syntactic ones. We also discuss in brief problems of introducing lexical and non-lexical facial expressions into sign language utterances being generated.
