French lexicographical equivalents of the preposition spod The paper analyses the lexicographical entries devoted to the Polish preposition spod (‘from under’) found in twenty five Polish-French general dictionaries of different sizes published in the 20th and at the beginning of the 21st centuries. A general conclusion from this comparative analyses is that, due to both inappropriate construction of these entries and significant gaps in the inventory of equivalents and in their exemplification, none of the consulted dictionaries makes it possible for Polish native speakers to select the correct French equivalent(s) of the preposition spod in a given type of context.

In French, there exists a kind of infinitive subordinate clause (ICP) introduced by a perception verb like voir, regarder, entendre, écouter and sentir. These structures, composed of a noun phrase and an infinitive verb, do not exist in Polish. This anisomorphism implies difficulties of translation and bilingual dictionaries are one of the potential sources of knowledge about the ways of translating the ICP structures into Polish. We analysed the articles of the five French perception verbs from several contemporary French-Polish dictionaries in order to verify how their authors deal with the lexicographic treatment of the ICP. The general conclusion is that the investigated structure is usually not given in all five perception verb entries of the same dictionary, and the choice of these entries seems to be random. What is more, in most of them, we only found set expressions containing the ICP clause and not free phrases. Frequently, the latter simply appear among examples of the use of the verb headword. Concerning the Polish equivalents, their choice is random too and it happens that the most frequent of them, the jak P (“as P”) structure, is not given. Thus, the microstructure of the analysed entries needs to be improved.
