Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies, 2013, vol. 2

Abstract: During the process of English language acquisition as a foreign language, as well as in countless translations, the Albanian speaker both as a learner and a user of English language firstly faces with its semantic and lexical structure. The lexical structures of both languages have their pecularities, which appear among others, even in the different volume of lexical, semantic and idiomatic wealth. The creation of new words, the immediate nominating response to multifaceted developments of material, spiritual, intellectual and aesthetic world, makes English the language with the most powerful status today. This paper aims at studying some of the essential means of vocabulary enrichment in both English and Albanian language, in terms of syntactic means, by comparing and contrasting. The study will cover the potential to create new words in both languages, such as derivation, compounding, conversion as well as borrowings in English and Albanian.
