The  lexical concept adjustment represents a  significant aspect of the  pragmatic meaning and has been approached from several perspectives in literature. As the  semantics-pragmatics interface is a  matter that attracts numerous debates among pragmaticians, the  boundary between cases of polysemy and the semantic meaning adjustment in the context is also blurred. There has been no agreement whether a  lexical concept adjustment can be regarded as a primary (necessary) or a secondary (optional) pragmatic process. The  present article discusses cases of meaning disambiguation and lexical narrowing. The  aim of the  article is to  demonstrate how a  lexical concept adjustment contributes to the pragmatic meaning construction in the discourse under analysis. The present paper deals with the data obtained from the chapters on woodworking and metal processing borrowed from the  Encyclopaedia of Occupational Health and Safety. The findings indicate that there is no clear-cut boundary between the  processes of the  lexical meaning disambiguation and a lexical concept adjustment as they both elaborate on the linguistic (semantic) meaning of a  word or an  expression taking into consideration all aspects of the  contextual information available. Further research can be conducted to approach the issue from the quantitative perspective.
