This study seeks to approach the problem of disambiguation of adjectives in the context of translation. On the basis of the French adjective austère analyzed as a case of study, the author demonstrates that adjectives can have a few equivalents in the Polish language. Such multiple interpretations caused by polysemy can be a problem for the description of adjectives in lexicographical publications, as well as for translation. Correspondences between adjectives are rarely bi-univocal in two languages and this study gives some insights on the possibilities of using this terms in both languages. Differences between senses are often highly subtle and contextually determined, so the author makes use of the theory of classes of objects. This kind of complex description allows to select the correct equivalent in another language and to make explicit the relations of equivalence between two languages.

A term category of possessivity belongs for sure to the group of the universal language categories. It probably exists in all the languages and it is concerned with the relations of ownership, which means the fact of beeing an owner or a property. This relationship may be expressed by different expression measures. The most important would be a possessive adjective. However, it seems its use in different languages is not submitted to the same logic, which proves that not only linguistic but also grammatical units in many languages serve to express different concepts. This article deals with the criterions of usage of the possessive adjective in French language. The analysed examples show a polisemy of this element of sentence, as an expression of the real ownership or different ways of connections.
