Semantics and Pragmatics of False Friends - Routledge Studies in Linguistics
Chamizo-Dominguez, Pedro J. (University of Malaga, Spain)
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.
