Think Aloud Protocols (TAPs) is an experimental technique widely used in research on cognition in foreign language learning, namely vocabulary acquisition. Nonetheless, since it is based on verbalized protocols in a communicative task, the use of this technique contributes to data gathering for research on communicative mediation. This article aims at demonstrating the relevance of the use of TAP in studies about Translation. The former is explained through a translation task, in which TAP are triangulated with other research techniques to study lexical-semantic ambiguity caused by false friends in translation.

Palabras clave : Think Aloud Protocols; Translation process; Cognitive processes; Lexical-semantic ambiguity.
