Η επίταση στην ελληνική και την αλβανική γλώσσα: Μία συγκριτική μελέτη

Abstract

This paper examines the ways that intensity is expressed in the Greek and the Albanian language and the similarities and differences between the two languages. Regarding Greek, the research is based on the existing bibliography and on dictionaries of Modern Greek, while for Albanian, given the lack of relevant studies, it is based on interviews of Albanian native speakers and on dictionaries of the Albanian language. The comparison of the two languages indicates that intensity is expressed with corresponding adjectives, adverbs and set expressions. However, the lack of prefixes in the Albanian for the expression of intensity is opposed to the large number intensive prefixes in Greek.
