The Study of Univocal and Polisemantic Words from “The Albanian Nowdays Language Dictionary” 1980 to “The Albanian Language Dictionary” 2006

Abstract

The lexical structure of the word is open and changeable, which is always associated by the different of the time. These changes don’t include only special word, but the whole fond of Albanian words reflected to the dictionary. So, for this study it has been necessary the support of the two biggest work of Albanian language: “The Albanian language dictionary of nowadays” 1980 and “The Albanian language dictionary” 2006. It’s evident that language is enriched by new entry of lexical units, but the linguistic enrichment it is not seen only at the number of lexical units, which enter or get out the uses. We are trying to argue that the linguistic development is preceded from the relation between the words, which produces changes at many linguistic phenomena as mono semantism and polisemantism. The words give special types, so they create relationships between speaking and writing speech, create relationships between active and passive lexis, and at the semantic structure of the words, which is reflected at the changes of semantic versions of the words. So, they bring a qualify development of the Albanian semantic structure. There are estimated and brought out from the two dictionaries all the univocal words, ambiguity words and polisemantic words, the changes of this kind words during these years and the percent that mark them at the fond of the Albanian words. This numbering it makes us possible to give dates for the effects that give the increase of polisemantic and monosemantic words to Albanian language. The study of the changes at lexical structure of Albanian words gives help at the improvement of data for lexicological and semantic.
