Summary/Abstract: The predicative adjectives are polysemic lexical units and the equivalent of translation depends on the use of the adjective, that is to say on their potential context, and not on their form. To solve the problem of polysemy it is necessary to observe all the possible uses according to the classes of objects that appear in the positions of arguments. The aim of the study is to present the syntactic-semantic properties of the adjectives siguiente in Spanish, suivant in French and następny in Polish.
