El enfoque histórico como modelo de análisis de falsos cognados: estudio etimológico de cuatro pares de cognados en español y portugués

Linguistics applied to language teaching and learning, from the communicative and interactionist perspectives, is that usually chairs the studies published on the problem of false cognates at the Spanish-Portuguese interface: Beato and Durão (2001), Bugueño Miranda (1998), Durão (2002; 2004; 2005), Leiva (1994), Sabino (2006), Werner (1997; 2006). In our work, following proposals that have already been pointed out elsewhere by Miranda Poza (2013; 2014; 2015; 2020), beyond the mere description of the misunderstanding to which the phenomenon leads, we highlight the importance of a totalizing understanding of the problem by analyzing the history of the two languages, focusing on the etymology of four pairs of words faced (borracho(a) / borracha; salado(a) / salada; oso(a) / osso; niño(a) / ninho), which will allow us to explain why this phenomenon occurs, while inviting us to reflect on the conceptual appropriateness of classifying certain examples as true false cognates
