Abstract

This article discusses the natural polysemy of the lexicon of natural languages, perceived as one of the major problems in automatic translation. It also presents a solution for the problem of disambiguation of ambiguous expressions, based on object-oriented description, enriched with a transfer of various possible translations in a target language to resolve the possible ambiguity of a source language. Finally, the authors show differences in the representations of the world in Polish and Spanish, using the example of diverse Polish renderings of the Spanish verb ganar.
