Summary/Abstract: The article is a contrastive analysis of two important conceptions dealing with the description of language: S. Karolak’s semantic theory of predicate-arguments structure and G. Gross’ object oriented approach. The first part of the article is devoted to a brief presentation of basic principles of both the approaches. An attempt is made at analyzing the notion of predicate in both conceptions, as well. Taking into consideration the fact that the theory of predicate-arguments structure has influenced the development of G. Gross’ lexicographic approach, the authors concentrate also on the presentation of differences and similarities between the two conceptions.
