Book Description
›False Friends‹ – falsche Freunde – sind Wörter, die, vereinfacht gesagt, gleich oder ähnlich klingen, aber ganz unterschiedliche Bedeutungen haben. "actual" ist nicht die englische Bedeutung von "aktuell", ein "Säbel" ist kein "sable", "to become" ist bekanntlich nicht "bekommen" und ein "Dom" ist auch kein "dome". Falsche Freunde sind also trügerisch – umso wichtiger ist es, sie zu kennen und zu vermeiden. In diesem kleinen Wörterbuch sind die 1500 wichtigsten ›False Friends‹ zusammengestellt. • ›False Friends‹ erkennen und vermeiden lernen • Alphabetisch angeordnet für schnelles, gezieltes Nachschlagen • Mit Beispielsätzen zum besseren Einprägen und Unterscheiden

Semantics and Pragmatics of False Friends
Author: Pedro José Chamizo Domínguez
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0415957206
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
This book approaches the topic of false friends from a theoretical perspective, arguing that false friends carry out a positive role as a cognitive device, mainly in literature and jokes, and suggesting some pragmatic strategies in order to restore the original sense of a text/utterance when a given translator (or a foreign speaker) falls victim to false friends. This theoretical account is successively verified by appealing to texts from the fields of literature, science, philosophy, journalism, and everyday speech.

Figurative Links as Source of False Friends
Author:
Publisher: GRIN Verlag
ISBN: 3346030555
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 18
Book Description
Academic Paper from the year 2013 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,3, Free University of Berlin, language: English, abstract: The goal of this paper is to investigate diachronically the processes of semantic change from which originate false friends by the examination of five typical cases of false friends between English and German. First, a classification of different types of false friends (chance and semantic) will be made. This part includes the delineation of the major meaning shifting processes (metaphor, metonymy, specialization and generalization) that have resulted in semantic false friends. Second, the diachronic development of five cases of semantic false friends will be examined in order to find out to which extent these figurative links have contributed to the existenceof false friends. European learners of English as a foreign language are familiar with situations in which they create incorrect interferences between words belonging to their mother tongue and words from the target language, assuming that their meanings are equivalent. Due to the existence of cross-linguistic word pairs that are similar, even identical in orthography or in spelling the foreign language learner traps into treacherous language errors which result in misunderstandings, mistranslations and difficulties in communication.
