all,<BR><BR>I am looking for any information concerning any<BR>studies or
resources about what is the natural way of<BR>defining nouns, verbs and
adjectives. <BR><BR>Together with my friend, we are going to write our
MA<BR>thesis about Poles' natural ways of defining those<BR>grammatical
categories. We then want to check whether<BR>definitions used in monolingual
EFL dictionaries may<BR>be really helpful and user-friendly for
Poles.<BR><BR>I would be very grateful for your help.<BR><BR>Karolina
