Abstract

The objective of this paper is to compare several orthographic rules of the hyphenated compound nouns in the Macedonian standard language, with the orthography of the hyphenated compound nouns in the English language, which is studied as a foreign language in RM. The rules are compared in order to perceive the possible influence of the English orthography on the Macedonian language in the written practice.The research has a qualitative paradigm and a descriptive design. The sample consists of several Macedonian orthographic rules of hyphenated compound nouns, which have been excerpted from the Orthography of the Macedonian language, from 2017 as well as the English hyphenated compounds orthography excerpted from several Guide Manuals in English and printed and online 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 the hyphenated compound nouns in both languages. On the other hand, there are some differences regarding orthography as well, which, among other factors, could be the reason for the differences in orthography of the compound nouns in the Macedonian written practice.
