Summary/Abstract: The article describes the usefulness of the language corpus resources and the corpus platform during the creation of the Polish-Russian dictionary „Architecture and urban planning.” The following tools were used: National Corpus of Polish Language, National Corpus of Russian Language, Polish-Russian Corpus of the University of Warsaw and Sketch Engine platform. It has been shown that the implementation of resources proceeds with varying intensity at different stages of dictionary development Language corpora (together with available tools) are most helpful at the first stages, i.e. building dictionary entries (basic entries and their derivatives). To a much lesser extent, language corpora are used in the process of searching for Russian equivalents due to the relatively poor collection of specialised and even applied texts available in parallel corpora. Often the results obtained have only a probing value. It is important to combine data obtained from different corpus resources in order to obtain information relevant to the content of the headword article of the designed dictionary.
