The name "false friends» of translator

appeared in France in 1928.

After the term is studied by

some scientists in much broader

sence. Working with the information,

we came to the conclusion that

«false» words studied by scientists

of different countries and

have a long history. M. Koessler,

J. Derocquigny ,Retsker.

B. Akulenko in his book «false friends

of translator» marked 7 types of similar

words. We found in our textbooks 5.

Magazine- журнал, а не магазин

After exercises made by us for the training of "false friends of the translator" , students were made the test, similar to the first. The number of mistakes decreased. Number of correct answers-25%.

Recommendations:

1) You should always be careful and recheck the meaning

2) One word can have different meanings, you must

choose one correct.

3) In selecting the meanings you must be based on

the style, genre and common content of the translated text.

Thus , it is necessary to have special vocabulary with

false words to avoid mistakes in translation.

So I tried to make a dictionary of" false friends “

to help to translate the pupils of our school

Thus the purpose and the objectives of the research project have been achieved.

The practical value of the work lies in the possibility of using the dictionary for English lessons.

Practical importance:
