Abstract

The aim of this article is to present good points of a thesaurus in comparison to other terminological dictionary types. A thesaurus may be defined as a compilation of words and phrases organized in such a way as to show their relationships and to provide a standardized vocabulary. The relationships displayed in a thesaurus might be both conceptual and synonymous. The article outlines the thesaurus structure and ways of its creation. Furthermore, the author presents micro-, macrostructure and some entries of a model of a Russian-Polish securities thesaurus.
