This article presents a study in lexical typology. We focus on the semantic domain of closing (creating a barrier) and opening (removing a barrier) cross-linguistically. The field of closing is of great interest, as it demonstrates a fine-grained argument structure: who closes what with_what from_what. The lexicalization of these situations depends not only on the type of barrier (visual vs. physical) and the number of arguments involved (for example, the presence or absence of an instrument), but also on their characteristics and mutual disposition (contact vs. distance). Having compared the situations of opening and closing, we discovered that they are rather asymmetrical. The languages included in the scope of research are Russian, Polish, Swedish, Hill Mari, Komi and Khanty. The research presented led to revealing relevant oppositions in the semantic field of closing and opening.
