Abstract:
The article deals with the problem of interlingual pseudoequivalnce, which is considered to be part of interlingual interference and includes interlingual homonyms, heteronyms, “false friends” of translators/interpreters, etc. This topic has generated scientific interest for several decades but still has not received sufficient theoretical coverage, which represents the relevance of the topic, on the one hand. On the other hand, the importance of connections between lexicography and other sciences leads to the creation of new types of dictionaries including dictionaries of pseudoequivalents. T

Abstract:
The phenomenon of false friends of a translator relates to a pair of languages. It occurs when words or phrases that sound or look similar in two languages differ to a significant degree in meaning. Consequently, learners using a false friend make a fool of themselves as it has been illustrated in the title of the article with an English-German joke. Politicians in particular are notorious for using false friends (Helmut Kohl and the German EU commissioner Günther Oettinger might be good examples). This phenomenon appeared in literature as well: for instance attempts at communicating in Englis

Abstract:
This paper examines the phenomenon of “false friends” as a critical source of lexical interference in the translation process. False friends—lexical items that appear phonologically or orthographically similar across languages but diverge semantically—frequently mislead translators into selecting inaccurate equivalents. These deceptive similarities often result in distortions of the source text’s intended meaning, particularly among individuals with limited bilingual competence, thereby compromising the overall translational adequacy. The present study aims to assess the extent to which false

Abstract:
This paper discusses idiomatic false friends (IFFs) in two genetically unrelated languages, English and Arabic. IFFs are defined as set phrases in two languages that have the same literal meaning but differ as regards their idiomatic meaning or their sociolinguistic and stylistic features. The study proposes a taxonomy for IFFs based on data from English and Arabic, though it may also apply to IFFs in other language pairs. In the case of English and Arabic, IFFs are either related (typically partial) or unrelated (typically total). Related IFFs have their origin in loan-translation, with idiom

Abstract:
This thesis is devoted to the problem of translator’s false friends which are considered to be one of the most serious issues in the context of the theory and practice translation. There is no doubt the fact that the translation is a very ancient kind of human activity. One of the major difficulties of translator’s work can be considered the cross-language phenomenon that is called "translator’s false friends"[1]. This phenomenon is of great interest for translators and linguists, as this category of words can be misleading even for professionals in the field of translation, who speak the lan

Дослідження псевдоінтернаціональної лексики показало, що основним завданням аналізу тексту, в якому зустрічаються «хибні друзі перекладача», є вивчення прийомів індивідуально-авторського використання мовних засобів, а також пояснення використаних в тексті мовних чинників у їх значенні і вживанні. Подібні помилки виникають, коли людина переносить, здавалося б, правильне значення слова з однієї мови в іншу, ґрунтуючись лише на його звучанні. У більшості випадків «хибні друзі перекладача» представляють собою запозичені слова. Тому нам може здаватися, що слово, яке ми чуємо, є нашим українським,

Abstract:
One of the cornrnon errors which translators commit when transferring terms from one language into another is erroneously coining terms which are based on a false friend mistake due to the similarity between lexical units forming part of terms. In this case-study, we use ChatGPT to automatically detect terms in Spanish which may be coined based on a false friend relation. To carry out this study, we implemented two experiments with GPT and compared the results. In the first, we prompted GPT to produce a list of twenty terms in Spanish extracted from the UN discourse, which are possibly based o

Abstract:
Interlingual homonyms are words that have the same or similar phonetic or graphic form, but have different meanings. In this case, it is Russian and Slovak pairs of words that are formally completely or partially identical, but differ in meaning. These words are often the cause of misinterpretation, and that is why they are called "false friends of the translator." For this reason, interlingual homonyms are a frequent source of interlingual interference. The paper is devoted to compiling a textbook of Russian-Slovak homonyms for Slovak students studying Russian language at universities. The ai
