Abstract

The translation of false friends between English and German languages presents a significant challenge due to semantic disparities and lexical ambiguities of these languages. In this article the analysis of the different types of false friends is given, and the semantic and stylistic meanings of them is examined in depth. It also provides the list of different types of English-German false friends.
