Full text linkWomen have a very important role in every aspect of life, and that might be the social aspect, the treatment aspect, the communication aspect, or any other aspect of life. Therefore, in this topic of my choice – I will try to define the importance of a woman in the Romantic Period, including some different opinions from different authors on what specifically they applied in terms of the role of women. I will also try to describe at some very important points about how a woman was treated back in the time of Romantic Period, taking on consideration the novel of Jane Austen about Pride and Prejudice – to see the importance and the role of a woman. Also I am going to describe how a woman is treated today, and finally I will give the possibility to elaborate on whether a woman has the freedom to give the free thought and the free speech, and exactly all the questions regarding this issue will be given below.Keywords: Women, Romantic Period, Freedom, etc
ANALYSIS OF SCALE OF FIN DAMAGE (EROSION) IN FARMED RAINBOW TROUT IN THE REPUBLIC OF KOSOVA
Full text linkThis study has utilized a non-invasive, rapid, and reliable method of assessing the scale of fin damage in rainbow trout from aquacultures in eight locations throughout the Republic of Kosova. The method is based on a visual assessment of the fin in profile and the loss of surface area of all fins on a scale from 0-5, compared to a healthy fin. The scale of fin damage was analyzed in two groups of fish, those weighing less than 30 grams and those weighing over 100 grams. The study demonstrated that the average indicator of fin damage was higher in larger fish than in smaller fish. Fin damage also depended on the season. Thus, greater fin damage was observed during the summer, compared to the winter and spring months, when the scale of damage was less severe. Moreover, the shape of the pond also impacted fin damage. Thus, the scale of fin damage was greater in circular-shaped ponds compared to rectangular-shaped ponds. The dorsal and pectoral fins were both exposed to damage. The average value of fin damage on the dorsal fin was 3.11, on the left pectoral fin 2.72, whereas on the right pectoral fin 2.70. The reasons behind the fin damage could be related to metabolic adaptations or adaptations to rearing conditions, which should be further looked into in the future in hopes of improving fin condition.Keywords: Rainbow trout, fish farms, fins, erosion
CLASS-CHANGING DERIVATIONAL AFFIXES
Full text linkMorphology is the study of a word’s grammatical constituents. The many different methods that English words are formed, including borrowing from Latin and Greek, clipping, suppletion, affixation, conversion, acronym, blending, compounding, and more, have been documented by linguists. The goal of this study is to examine the process of word formation known as affixation, specifically class-changing derivational affixation. We will examine the meanings of some of the few letters added to the beginning or end of words as well as the changes that occur when affixes are inserted into words.This study aims to examine how different affixes are added to the beginning or end of a root or root word to create new words, as well as how those affixes alter the root word’s classification. A list of English prefixes and suffixes that change the class are provided, and they are explained and studied with various examples. The derivation of words from one grammatical class to another is observed in this study. For example, verbs are converted into nouns and adjectives, nouns are converted into adjectives and verbs, and so on.Keywords: Prefixes, Suffixes, Derivational, Word, Conversion, etc.

THE WORDS OF THE ARBERISHT OF CALABRIA AND THE ARVANITES OF GREECE IN THE ETYMOLOGICAL DICTIONARY OF GUSTAV MEYER
No full textThe dictionary of the "Etymological Dictionary of the Albanian language" (1891) by Gustav Meyer, a work that has left indelible traces in the entire Albanological heritage created from the last quarter of the XIX century until today, contains a number of words of the Albanians of Italy and Greece that we will call the words of the Albanian colonies in Italy and Greece, which, G. Meyer collected directly from their mouths and threw them in his Dictionary.Our article, with the object of the lexicon of the Albanian colonies in the etymological Dictionary of G. Meyer, aims to point out first, the presence of the words of the Arbërisht of Calabria and of the Arvanites of Greece in the Etymological Dictionary of Gustav Meyer giving, perhaps for the first time first, a complete inventory of the lema words and nursery words present in this work; secondly, the status that the words of the Albanian colonies in Italy and Greece occupy in the “Dictionary of the Albanian language” (2006). Through the comparison of Gustav Meyer's Etymological Dictionary with the 2006 dictionary we will see how many of the words of the Arbërisht of Calabria and the Arvanites of Greece have taken place in this dictionary; third, the main lexical and semantic fields to which the lexicon of the Albanian colonies in Italy and Greece belongs.Keywords: etymological dictionary, explanatory dictionary, lema words, lexical layer, lexical and semantic field
DEFINING SOCIO CHARACTERIZATION OF LANGUAGE: WHAT LANGUAGE REALLY IS!
Full text linkLanguage has been defined from phonology, morphology and syntactic aspect. But this short communique explores to defend the sociological aspect (communicative aspect) of a language. ‘Language as a means of communication’ superimposes over any other definition if it can be believed two people can draw a language to exist along with other prominent languages and a language is dead when no speaker exists. However, this precise article tends to show minutely what the position of a language is if one knows this language but does not have a second one to interact with that person. Here, the bottom line is that the man cannot utilize this language to serve his communicative purpose. Hence, his language does not serve the purpose of communication. Therefore, the placement of that language is to the category of dying language in which only one person is left for that language to be characterized as a dead language. Keywords: Communicative aspect, dead language,dying language, existent language, social aspect
SYSTEM OF EDUCATION IN NORTH MACEDONIA, ITS CHANGES AND OBSTACLES IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS AS AN ESSENTIAL FACTOR FOR EFFECTIVE LEARNING OF FIRST-GRADE PUPILS AN ANALYSIS OF THE TEACHING MATERIAL OF THE FIRST GRADE IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS OF NORTH MACEDONIA
Full text linkIt is not only Corona virus that makes harder the teaching process. Teaching materials as well. First grade pupils of primary schools in North Macedonia face up with a bunch of teaching material which is not so adequate for their age. Through a comparative method and qualitative data this research emphasizes the complexed and non-properly designed teaching material that children of the first grade schools in North Macedonia use for their development (academic learning), keeping in mind the not regulated system of Kindergartens and other factors that influence the teaching process. Even though children of this grade (other grades as well) in primary school have books that are designed in accordance with “Cambridge schooling system” my recommendations are for a softener – teaching material, a process of teaching “new things” step by step (having a logical flow of transmitting new information), whereas taking as a sample German books would be perfect match for our system of education, especially for our children/pupils.Keywords: Coronavirus, teaching material, academic learning, primary school, pupils, forumZFD, Germany-Bavaria zone, North Macedonia, etc
NOUN PHRASES AND THEIR SYNTACTIC FUNCTIONS IN ENGLISH AND ALBANIAN LANGUAGE
Full text linkA phrase is a word or a group of words that may stand as a single grammatical unit. It can be part of a clause or a sentence with or without any specific meaning. Phrases are mandatory constituents of simple, complex and compound sentences. The syntax of Albanian language has an early beginning, but its development is still an ongoing process. The main issues faced by the syntax of Albanian language have been the terminology, definition and classification of grammar and syntactic units. In the syntax of Albanian language there is a constant process of codification, i.e., definition of units and syntactic categories. Our interest here is the definition of the terms word-group, syntagm, phrase and syntactic constituent. On the other hand, the term phrase is well defined in English language. Clear and timely classification of different types of phrases has facilitated syntactic analysis of clauses and sentences. Phrases and the types of phrases are different in English and Albanian language. Apart from the type, the number of phrases is also different. The noun phrase is the most important phrase in both English and Albanian language because of its syntactic functions. While other phrases have more limited syntactic functions, noun phrases may function as a subject, object (direct or indirect object), subject complement, object complement, modifier or apposition.Keywords: Phrases, noun phrases, syntactic functions, English, Albanian
METAPHORS IN POLITICS
Full text linkThe topic that this paper seeks to touch on is: “A look at today’s language of politics (Lexical-grammatical functions in particular)”. We have focused on some of its most essential features, some of its key functions, and a broader look at the real, tangible values, new and latest semantic developments of the political lexicon. Initially, the paper aims to present some theoretical definitions on the concept of political lexicon in foreign and Albanian linguistics, mainly based on German, American and Albanian literature, such as: Orwell, Lucas or Samara, Duro, Kostallari, Lloshi, Thomai, etc. A broad overview is given to the main linguistic figure operating in politics, to the metaphor and also “contradicto in adiecto”, as a linguistic tool with the value of a micro text, i.e. a first formal contradiction in terminis, when expressed simultaneously and for the same two concepts and two judgments that exclude each other, which is extremely used by politicians. The aim of the paper is to discover the real function and that of appearance that permeates speeches and slogans of politics, otherwise known as the element of their indeterminacy. In this paper we have tried to raise as a problem the need for a scientific and fair conception of the political lexicon. The role of the masters of the Albanian word (including politicians, writers, linguists, orators, statesmen, journalists, analysts, etc.) who with their works and writings, have delivered and enriched the political lexicon should be properly appreciated. They have special merits in the semantic elaboration of the content and nuances of the political lexicon of literary Albanian. They have used the words of this lexicon in certain syntagmatic and paradigmatic connections (polysemous, synonymous and antonymous), constructing beautiful figures with expressive-emotional character. Some of the problems of semasiological character are treated in this paper, such as the origin (derivation) of new meanings and nuances in the present time, as well as its types, can be treated in more depth and more special ways in the future. The working methodology is based on the set of contemporary concepts, principles, theories and methods such as methods of approach, method of comparison and analysis on the basis of generative linguistics.Keywords: political lexicon, semantic meaning, metaphors, generative linguistics, etc
THE DOUBLE CROSS BLOOD UNION ― OUTLINE OF THE HISTORY OF A SECRET MILITARY ORGANISATION OF HUNGARY IN THE 1920s
Full text linkIt is a very difficult task for historians to reconstruct the history of secret organizations. The present research paper deals with a paramilitary secret organisation, or rather secret irregular military formation called the Double Cross Blood Union that operated in Hungary in the 1920s. Paramilitarism and the operation of paramilitary formations, such as the German Freikorps or the Austrian Heimwehr militias were completely natural phenomena after World War One in Europe. Hungary was no exception, and the new, strongly right-wing government also used up different militias to strengthen its power. Double Cross Blood Union was a type of veteran union and the secret irregular reserve force of the Hungarian National Army at the same time, and had a very complex, controversial relation to the Government of Hungary. The present article makes an attempt to outline this complex relation.Keywords: secret societies, irregular warfare, paramilitarism, radical right-wing organisations, military history
