Pedro J. Chamizo-Domínguez

Semantics and Pragmatics of False Friends (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

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.
