Formal Analysis of Albanian Adjectival Derivatives

The paper presents a formal analysis of Albanian adjectival derivatives, carried out in accordance with the proposal of a formal description of word formation (part of methodology presented in Bulgarian-Polish Contrastive Grammar, Volume 9).

This type of description in addition to a characterization of formal, segmental exponents of derivation allows for appearing and signalizing functions of Albanian definite article in word formation process.

Analyzed material comes from the Dictionary of Contemporary Albanian Language (Institute of Language and Literature of the Albanian Academy of Sciences 1984, revised edition 2002) and is nearly 62% of all lexical adjectival units (about 6100 adjectival derivatives).
