Abstract

This paper compares several orthographic rules of the compound nouns which are written solid/closed in the Macedonian standard language, with the orthography of the same compound nouns in the English language in order to perceive the possible influence of the English orthography on the Macedonian in the written practice. The research has a descriptive design. The sample consists of several Macedonian and English orthographic rules of solid/closed compound nouns, excerpted from the Orthography of the Macedonian language (2017) and several Guide Manuals in English, printed and online English dictionaries. The written practice is presented by electronic journalistic texts in Macedonian language. This research shows that there are many similarities in the orthography of these nouns in both languages, but that there are some differences as well, which, among other factors, could be the reason for the mistakes in the orthography of these nouns in the Macedonian written practice.
