Abstract

English terms of informatics, as well as of other fields of knowledge, as it is also the case with the English words which are not terms (like simple words) have been inserted and are being inserted into the Albanian language, in its contact with a language of a different nature from the typological and structural point of view, a phenomenon which influences a lot the reception by the speakers of Albanian language. This, adapting also to the nature of the receptive language (Albanian) gives its own reflexes, as the English words further penetrate in different levels of the language. In the same way, the informatics terms as well as every other lexical units, derived from English, an analytical-synthetic language with a strong analytical character, are inserted to the Albanian language, which is a synthetic-analytical language, with developed forms, especially in the inflectional system which is characterized, differently from English, by a rich system of inflections, particularly in the paradigms of nouns. The treatment of English words in the terminology of informatics in the Albanian language is of a special value and primary importance, in confrontation with the Italian and French for resolving the problems of defining the standard terms in Albanian based on the borrowed models from the Italian and French which serve as standardization models in an international level. Based on this the problems of translation and adaption to the specific of Albanian language as well as integration of the English words into the Albanian language will be resolved.

Keywords: reception, inflectional system, phonemic formation, morphological system, nominal word-formation system, translation and adaption, determinologiezed.
