Abstract
This paper proposes a semantic classification of Polish adjectives on the basisof their syntactic features in Polish and English. The aim of the classification is to assure thecompleteness and the homogeneity of descriptions of the entries inbilingual dictionaries designed for Machine Translation. Theclassification should prove helpful in assigning descriptions toadjectives in larger dictionaries than that discussed in the paper.
