Abstract
The paper constitutes the second part of an attempt to sum up some of the main current problems of interpretation and translation of ancient texts written in the Old Chinese language of the 1st millennium B.C. (the first part was also published in «RSUH Bulletin» in 2012). The second part briefly analyzes the last of the key theoretical issues facing the researcher (the relationship between the «natural» and «artificial» components in the linguistic rules governing the construction of Old Chinese texts), the rest of the paper being given over to considerations of a methodological character on the possible future framework for an «ideal» dictionary of Old Chinese that would adequately reflect our current knowledge on this language and would be equally well adapted for the needs of the student and the qualified researcher alike.
