As seen from the theoretical overview of both English and Albanian language about the compounds, and from the examples given for each one, we may say that this process of word formation is mainly the same in both these languages.
Compounding is a productive word formation process as in Albanian language, so in English. In both these languages compounding is possible with almost all parts of speech, closed and open ones. Although in both these languages two main ways of forming words are considered derivation and compounding, as I saw from my study, in Albanian language we have more compound words than in English.
In the level of diachronic the study of compounds in both these two languages has gone through different stages. Of course, in English the documentation of compounds is very early and it is reinforced by the facts listed in the written language of the early period. On the other hand, in Albanian language the identification and acceptance of compound words as an independent form of word formation is in the

Even in different theories, different grammarians leave this issue open, posing as one of the features of English compounds writing them separately, together or hyphenated.
This issue is differently dealt in Albanian language, where everything is based on the standard of written language, designated on the Congress of Spelling.
Albanian compound words display similarities and difference to those of English, as in word formation structures, as well as in form, the number of parts of speech, or the meaning of the compound words. Their structures often coincide, even in the elements that participate in the formation of compounds, also in the type and number of their parts of speech. Similarly, in both languages we have compounds with 2 parts of speech, three and even four parts of
First, a brief background in the three dimensions of language discussed throughout this paper. The functional, semantic, or thematic dimensions of language as previously mentioned are often used in parallel with each other. Due, to this fact it is important to be able to identify them as they take place and differentiate between these dimensions i...
Many scholars, such as Russell Tomlin and Jae Jung Song, discussed the diverse word orders of languages. Yet the fact that many languages have distinct word orders could be explained through discovering
these traditions. By combining these words with a hyphen, Alexie, in turn, intertwines the two to

Analyzing dialects can be difficult due to the fact that is it hard to transcribe the pronunciation of an individual dialect because English is not spelled the same way it is pronounced. Furthermore, one person’s interpretation of spelling a dialect might not match up with another’s, so the reader might not “hear” the dialect properly. Regardless, written versions of dialects are essential to discussing dialectical differences.
The three components of language consist of content, form, and use. These components are then made up of the five main components of language which are made up of semantics, morphology, phonology, syntax, and pragmatics (Owens, 2012, p. 18). Each of these main components provides its own sets of rules. Semantics rules provide meanings to words or content to a combination of words (Owens, 2012, p. 23). The smaller units of words are known as morphemes. Morphemes can be both free and bound depending on if the word can stand alone or not. Morphemes can also be derivational morphemes if they include either a prefix or suffix (Owens, 2012, p. 21). Phonology pertains to the sounds that letters make when in a certain sequence order. Syntax rules involve the structure of words and sentences. Lastly, pragmatics is how one uses language to communicate. When these rules are not followed, communicating with others will not be
Dutch is described as being a quantity-sensitive trochaic system, operating from left to right with extrametricality. In the following essay I will gice the arguments and data that point towards this system. I will also analyse in which way exceptions are being taken care of within this system. The metrical analysis will be based on work by Trommelen & Zonneveld. These authors adopt an onset-rhyme organisation of syllable structure.

This squib is a comparative study on the DP hypothesis and proper names parameter in Italian and Hijazi dialect of Arabic. The Hijazi dialect of Arabic is the speech of around 6,000,000 people spoken in the West Coast of Saudi Arabia mainly in the large cities of Jeddah, Mecca, Medina, Yanbu, and some inhabitants of Al-Taif (Ethnolougue, 2013). Following Longobardi’s (1994) principles for the DP structure in Romance languages, particularly for Italian in terms of N-to-D raising, this paper propose that proper names behave differently in both languages. The claim made in the paper is that proper names in Hijazi Arabic do not trigger N-to-D movement as shown in the analysis. In contrast, I propose that the prefixed [al] definite head noun displays N-to-D movement when there is no overt D preceding the noun phrase based on data taken from Longobardi (1991) and his parametric analysis of proper names in Italian. Examples on Standard Arabic from Fehri (2004) support our claim to some extent. Shlonsky (2004) rejects the notion of head-raising and suggests remnant movement to account for word order in Hebrew and Arabic1.
Reiteration, as the first category of lexical cohesion, is a phenomenon in which the lexical item refers back to another item that has a connection with a general reference. It is a lexical cohesion which forms a constituent that has been mentioned. Reiteration consists of repetition, hyponymy, synonyms, and antonymy. The purpose of using these aspects of reiteration is to obtain the effect of the intensity of the meaning of language, information events, and beauty of other languages. Haliday and Hasan (1976) says that:

Have you ever wondered where the names of the different items you use daily came from? Or listened to people talk and find a particular word interesting or odd and wonder why it has become part of our English language? The English language that we speak today has developed as a result of many different influences and changes over thousands of years. The resulting changes to the English language can be split into three time periods that include, Old English or Anglo-Saxon, Middle English and Modern English which is commonly used today
