SUFFIXOIDS OF GREEK AND LATIN ORIGIN IN ALBANIAN LANGUAGE

Summary/Abstract: This article is a continuation of the work for the complete inventory of foreign affixoids in Albanian, and speaks about foreign suffixoids in Albanian language. Their number is limited compared with prefixoids and generally in Albanian come a number of words with them that usually mark a particular area of research activity, or specialist that deals with a certain knowledge. This happen because suffixoids in comparison with prefixoids have lack of a clear meaning, and it is difficult to motivate, to bind them to a specific word; they are more related and often is difficult to separate them from the rest of the word. Suffixoids often come in two forms: one with consonant and the other with vowel that follows consonant. The first model is found in adjectives and the second in nouns. Suffixoids borrowed from classical languages (Greek or Latin), which in a sense can be seen as international words, are adapted to the phonetic system of Albanian language as: logue/logji, cracy/kraci, chron- /kron etc. Their presentation is done in alphabetical order and for each suffioxid is given exhaustive list of words where it is found. As described in the article, it is concluded that unlike prefixoids which are active and are able to join with various themes to form words mainly scientific and technical terminology, suffixoids have remained ingrained within the wordborrowed, excluding any sporadic case as the formation of words bllokmen and shqiptarofil by suffixoids -men, -fil.
