Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies, 2014, vol. 3

Abstract: In the numerous studies centred on antonyms in English and Albanian language, it is noted that there are many foci linguistic debates about what constitutes antonyms, in contrast to inconsistency, negation, scaling etc. In the problematic perspective of the nature of antonyms through this paper we will illustrate the problems that arise in the study of antonyms in respect to incompatibility and negation. Different linguists have different perspectives in such debates and through a qualitative research we will be able to analyze so of the key points in this perspective. The value of such a research is established in the nature of the study, more specifically, the literature used, which is a blended information source from both Albanian and English most popular authors in linguistics.
