The Contrast of the Adjectives and the Genitive Cases: the Case of Albanian and English Language
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: After nouns and verbs, adjectives are the largest word class in English. Adjectives are words that go together with nouns and provide information about them. The adjective tall denotes only the positive degree. In contrast, in Albanian, the adjective stem is directly preceded by an adjectival article (i, e, të or së), which reflects the gender, case, and number of its referent (J. Kabashi). It is the contrast between Albanian and English because in English it is not the same as Albanian, as in compare: She is old – Ajo është e vjetër; He is young – Ai është i ri; They are young – Ato ose ato janë të renj/reja; To the young girl – Vajzës së re; To the young boy – Djlait të ri. In the area of morphology, blends are represented by word formation. A word blend is formed by combining two separate words with different meanings to form a new one. The word blend is often coined to describe a new invention or a cultural phenomenon. This proves that English is a dynamic language that is constantly evolving. Morphological blends can be understood as a special kind of compound, including, in particular, nominal compounds based on adjectives plus nouns or nouns plus noun combinations.
