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.
