Пра беларуска-польскіх „фальшывых сяброў пераклaдчыка”

Abstrakt

The paper reviews translators’ false friends (in a broad sense of the term) in two Slavic languages: Polish and Belarusian. There are not many materials concerning Belarusian-Polish false friends, let alone a dictionary. The paper reviews articles concerning false friends in Belarusian and in other languages and many different terms and definitions describing false friends. Various types of Belarusian-Polish false friends are described and compared on the basis of examples taken from dictionaries and books. The analysis shows that false friends in Belarusian-Polish translation are a topic worth exploring that is yet to be described in a good dictionary.
