Linguistic calques in the Albanian and German languages and their importance in learning the German language
Session

Description
The purpose of this research paper is the linguistic calques in the Albanian and German languages, which play an important role in the process of learning and acquiring foreign languages. Due to the fact that linguistic calques cannot be resolved or replaced with other synonyms, it makes learning a foreign language difficult and leads to the appearance of interference. Calques as more or less fixed connections in the lexical and grammatical field are phenomena that are reflected in an excellent form of discussion that has been going on for some time in linguistics in the morphological-syntactic and semantic field. In the paper, in the theoretical aspect, I try to give general knowledge about linguistic calques, types of these features and present the importance of linguistic calques in the process of foreign language learning and teaching. They turn out to be a multi-layered phenomenon that is examined based on different linguistic approaches and theories to make it more understandable. In this paper we try to argue that linguistic calques are in fact a neglected or even unknown aspect during the learning of German as a foreign language. The work is based on my dissertation (Xhemaili, 2018) with the support and mentorship of prof. dr. Emilija Bojkovska at "St. Cyril and Methodius" University - Skopje.

Linguistic calques in the Albanian and German languages and their importance in learning the German language
UBT Kampus, Lipjan
The purpose of this research paper is the linguistic calques in the Albanian and German languages, which play an important role in the process of learning and acquiring foreign languages. Due to the fact that linguistic calques cannot be resolved or replaced with other synonyms, it makes learning a foreign language difficult and leads to the appearance of interference. Calques as more or less fixed connections in the lexical and grammatical field are phenomena that are reflected in an excellent form of discussion that has been going on for some time in linguistics in the morphological-syntactic and semantic field. In the paper, in the theoretical aspect, I try to give general knowledge about linguistic calques, types of these features and present the importance of linguistic calques in the process of foreign language learning and teaching. They turn out to be a multi-layered phenomenon that is examined based on different linguistic approaches and theories to make it more understandable. In this paper we try to argue that linguistic calques are in fact a neglected or even unknown aspect during the learning of German as a foreign language.
