THE COMMON AND PROPER NOUNS BETWEEN ALBANIAN AND ENGLISH

Abstract

The noun in Albanian language classified as common and proper . The common nouns in turn divide into countable and uncountable . Collective nouns and substance nouns are subclasses of the other classes.  The structure of noun formation between Albanian and English on the general aspect of morphology and syntax still didn’t study in the way of comparative, contrast and generative. Those fields are our object of study. In Albanian and English we find some concepts of studies for noun for example: “Emer quhet ajo pjese e ligjerates qe emerton qenie te gjalla dhe sende dhe ka kategorite gramatikore te gjinise, numrit, rases, te shquarsise e te pashquarsise”.

The set is indefinitely extendable since new nouns are constantly created and are added to the existing register of English nouns. The server denotes people, objects, places, events and phenomena”. [2] There is an important distinct common and proper nouns. Common nouns can be countable and uncountable. Countable nouns refer to entities which can be counted, they are singular and plural forms (a cow, two cows) etc.). Both in the singular and plural there is a contrast between definite and indefinite forms ( a cow, two cows, the cows ). Uncountable nouns refer to entities which cannot be counted and uncounted for number.
