›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

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.
