Abstract
This article deals with a possible research methodology of false friends between
selected local varieties of the Kajkavian dialect group (between those that belong
to the same dialect as well as between those belonging to different dialects).
As the researcher is often confronted with very different phonological systems,
it is very important to determine the real parameters in defining phonological
compromises between possible pairs of „false friends“, i.e. the phonological
differences between the two compared systems that can be ignored so that similar
words obtain such status. The author examines the synchronic approach to the
research of false friends because it cannot easily be determined whether the
scholar is dealing with an older meaning or a semantic adaptation of recent date
which has resulted from the influence of the Croatian standard language and the
need to refer to contemporary reality. Based on the collected material, the author
discusses the reasons for the formation of pairs of false friends. A short account
of the modern division of pairs of false friends by the German linguist Annette
Kroschewski is also given.
