  • Bilingual false friends in ESP teaching
    Brkan, Metka
    Linguistic term false friends (or false cognates, deceptive cognates) denotes pairs of words in two different languages that are similar in form or pronunciation, but are fully or partially different ... in meaning. They are especially problematic for foreign language learners because they are a sourceof misunderstanding in reception and errors in production. This paper focuses on Slovene-English false friends in the field of civil engineering. Their coverage in two Slovene-English dictionaries is reviewed and assessed for suitability for ESP students of civil engineering.
