The above parameters include TL as a component of the terminological macrosystem, the conceptual structure of TL, the lexical structure of TL, the onomasiological structure of TL, and the type of semantic grid. The conducted analysis allows one to conclude that the degree of the terminographic relevance of certain aspects of the TL structure is heterogeneous and varies depending on the type of dictionary and other factors.

The numer-ousness of names used in relation to language units of such kind makes it necessary to discuss their status as well as their relevant description in terminological dictionaries. The author of the paper examines the structure of such units and their presentation in the selected bilingual dictionaries of economic terminology.

Creating such type of dictionaries is known to be a complex activity that demands professionalism, constructing terminographic models being one of the obligatory stages of this procedure. There is therefore a need to formulate the basics of terminographic modelling, and the present work is an attempt made to achieve this goal.
A modern terminological dictionary has to meet two main requirements. First of all, it has to be a macrosign of knowledge, which means that it has to have a specific structure which should correspond as closely as possible with the conceptual structure of a terminological system that is being described, i.e. above all, it should reflect its onomasiological proportion, as well as various types of semantic relations that occur between its components. As the macrosign of knowledge, the terminological dictionary becomes an element of the system in which it functions together with other macrosigns.
Secondly, the terminological dictionary inevitably, so to say, becomes an educational text. It is addressed to homo scientiae, i.e. an educated man who constantly develops their skills and learns new things [Tatarinov 2006, Zmarzer 2007]. They need terminographic products that in an adequate and objective way present the current state of various fields of specialised knowledge. Being the educational text, the dictionary should constitute a semantic continuum, the coherence of which is provided by a system of internal references. Just as any other text, it should have a modular structure that consists elements that correspond to the beginning, the main part and the end.
Therefore, the present work introduces the author’s model of an ideal branch terminology dictionary, i.e. a model that can serve as a basis for constructing terminological dictionaries of various fields of specialised knowledge. The issue that is also raised in the work concerns modifications that this model should be subject to, depending on the type of knowledge. In other words, it is about the rules of constructing models of dictionaries of various fields of knowledge that are exemplified by three disciplines: chemistry, physics and geography.
The first chapter raises the question of the language for special purposes (LSP) as a tool used by people in their intellectual work. It presents characteristics of technolects at all levels of the linguistic analysis as well as relations between them and the language for general purposes (LGP).
The second chapter is devoted to the terminological lexicon, understood as a medium of professional knowledge. Subchapter 2.1. describes the structure of the terminological lexicon and its place in the terminological macrosystem. The structure of the lexicon is modular and consists of three types of components: terminological fields, terminological microfields and terminological series.
Subchapter 2.2. contains an analysis of terminological lexicons of three fields of specialised knowledge: chemistry, physics and geography. The aim of the analysis was to determine the structure of the lexicons, as well as to indicate the differences and similarities between them. Terminological lexicons were examined according to the following criteria:

  1. onomasiological structure,
  2. type of semantic grid,
  3. type of terminological system.
    This served as a basis to develop the author’s model of an ideal branch terminology dictionary, which is presented in the third chapter. Subchapter 3.1. is devoted to a universal model, i.e. a model on the basis of which terminological dictionaries of various fields of specialised knowledge can be constructed. In the first part of the subchapter, the macrostructure of an ideal dictionary is introduced. The second part of the subchapter presents the microstructure of the ideal dictionary. The structure of the main part of the dictionary and the structure of its supplementary parts are demonstrated here. The third part shows the structure and functions of an electronic version of the dictionary that is adapted to individual needs of its users whose level of specialised knowledge and familiarity with relevant LSPs is diversified.
    Subchapter 3.2. presents three models of branch terminology dictionaries that describe lexicons of the fields of specialised knowledge that were analysed according to the description in subchapter 2.2. It is a kind of instruction on how to construct models of branch terminology dictionaries.
