Agrément w słowniku przekładowym: między teorią a praktyką

The article puts forward a proposal for a Russian-Polish entry article on the diplomatic term of agrément. The study is a part of the lexicographic research project “Diplomacy and politics. Russian-Polish dictionary survey”. Bilingual (Russian-Polish) dictionaries give only the basic pair of equivalents of the term in question. However, the exploration of texts enabled the researcher to collect the pairs of equivalents not recorded so far in the Russian-Polish lexicography. Basing on the material of the proposed entry article the author highlights the methodological assumptions of the project – draws attention to frequency as a classifying criterion and the significance of monolingual and bilingual dictionaries for verification of collected material, as well as characterizes the peculiar nature of the process of confronting parallel texts (created independently of each other, yet similar in genre and topic).
