The paper addresses the Polish version of SimLex-999 which we extended to contain not only measurement of similarity but also relatedness. The data was translated by three independent linguists; discrepancies in translation were resolved by a fourth person. The agreement rates between the translators were counted and an analysis of problems was performed. Then, pairs of words were rated by other annotators on a scale of 0--10 for similarity and relatedness of words. Finally, we compared the human annotations with the distributional semantics models of Polish based on lemmas and forms. We compared our work with the results reported for other languages.
