Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present the results of the application of the object-oriented approach by Wiesław Banyś in the disambiguation of the intra-aspectual opposition iterative vs semelfactive. After a brief theoretical introduction to the question of the motion verbs’ iterativity, the author proceeds to study concrete examples of some uses of the French verb aller and creates six syntactic-semantic schemes conditioning the Polish translation of the analysed verb by the iterative (jeździć) or semelfactive form (jechać). The format of the description of the iterativity used in this paper allows to integrate the results of the research into the Machine Translation programs.
