Abstract
In this paper we attempt to address valence of verb in Albanian. Valence relies on verb centric method. This means that verb is main ingredient that rules all other ingredients, even subject itself. The binding elements that mark valence of a verb according to L. Tesniere are called actants. This orbital system puts verb at center and gives it the omnipotent power by which arguments are held back. Optional elements called adjuncts may also appear in a phrase along with arguments. The choice of arguments are made by verb, meanwhile adjuncts are not. According to number of arguments verb receives, its valences are also determined. They are grouped into zero-valent, mono-valent, bivalent and trivalent. This division does not coincide with traditional division of verbs as transitive and intransitive. Our corpus relies heavily on written language materials, most examples will be from daily press.
