Abstract

Cultural, spiritual and material life of a country is best reflected through language. Seen in its entirety, PHRASEOLOGY is a complicated and a vast field of study. There are many issues that deserve special attention in future studies. Phraseological units with their petrified forms or relatively petrified, are extended in time in all forms of life. Viewed over the years, the way of living in these areas had more specifics related to life events, such as agriculture, livestock, orchards, vegetation etc. Therefore, the formation of phraseological units was motivated and related to everyday life and the surrounding environment. With the beginning of the organization of civic life and the emergence of different handicrafts, new phraseological units were formed and most of them already belong to the whole Albanian nation. In this regard, we will treat phraseological units associated with Dukagjini Region. Special attention will be paid to phraseological units considered as having “local” character, especially those formed last years, for which we have already concluded that they are petrified. Distinguished units such as: si n'dardha t' Cetin - in abundance, wholesale; si shati i bac’s Met - crooked, that does not care for themselves; si podrimçaki n'ar' - dedicated, hard worker; si bunkeri i Mark Avdyit - fortified, strong (Mark Avdyli was an old man who fought in the last war and had built a bunker very strong and fortified, in the village of Ramoc); s’e lan as Ereniki - great shame; prashit n’uj - does work in vain; korr mi tromak - speaks without foundation, speaks unfounded, lying; i cofi morri - he finished his work, he lost influence.

Keywords: Phraseology, phraseological unit, vocabulary, motivation.
