Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the problem of lexicographic description of vocabulary related to the area of foreign affairs. Based on the study “Diplomacy and politics. Russian‑Polish dictionary survey”, the author shows major problems faced by a lexicographer. The analysed lexemes belonging to two different linguistic systems can take different meanings or values, be new (foreign) either in the same way or to a different degree for these systems. New meanings of lexemes – see: шерп (шерпа)/szerpa – demand introducing definitions or additional descriptive data to the dictionary entry. As the research proves, constant development of the official variation of language makes it necessary to reconceptualise existing descriptions of certain lexemes or their combinations.
