Dicionario italiano-galego de falsos amigos

This dictionary collects and describes false friends between Italian and Galician: lexical units that display formal similarity between the two languages but diverge in meaning, usage, combinatorial restrictions, or connotations. For each entry, the correct equivalents are provided, together with examples almost always drawn from real corpora and, where relevant, observations of a pragmatic, register-related, or cultural nature.

To describe contrastively the pairs of false friends identified between Italian and Galician, to provide the correct equivalents in each language, and to document their uses through examples drawn from real corpora. Where required, entries are supplemented with observations of a pragmatic, register-based, or cultural nature.

The resource is aimed at Galician-speaking students learning Italian and Italian-speaking students learning Galician, as well as professionals in translation, teaching, and research in contrastive linguistics and bilingual lexicography. Its added value lies both in the limited attention the Italian–Galician pairing has received to date and in the project’s applied orientation.
