Genitival Phrases in Albanian and Romanian
A Comparative Approach
Abstract
Albanian and Romanian display a specific Genitival Phrase structure which is unique among Balkan’s languages. It is characterized by the presence of a genitive marker, traditionally called ‘genitival article’, that follows the head noun. The goal of the present paper is twofold: on the one hand, it focuses on the origin and the syntactic role the genitival article has within GenP. On the other hand, this paper compares the Genitival Phrase of Albanian to that of Romanian in order to show similarities and differences in both their morphological and syntactic structure.
