It does this by focusing on &#8216;false cognates&#8217;, words which share similar form, but have different meanings. These words trigger translation errors in learners who, for example, confuse the French &#8216;librairie&#8217; with English &#8216;library&#8217; instead of accessing the correct translation &#8216;bookshop&#8217;. Using a backward lexical translation paradigm (L2 to L1), the study manipulated the levels of morphological complexity of false-cognate pairs and examined the repercussions this has on the false-friend effect. Progress in the understanding of the false-friend effect is important, as it sheds light on the way in which words are stored and accessed in the bilingual&#8217;s lexicon.<\/p>\n<p>The talk will take place at 4pm.
