It is a process of systematic changes in the pronunciation of all Middle English long vowels in their transition to Modern English. All the long vowels came to be pronounced with a greater elevation of the tongue and closing of the mouth. The effect of the shift was that vowels were either raised or became diphthongs. The purpose of this paper is to show the pronunciation differences between Middle English and Modern English in the value of the long vowels as well as to discuss the criticisms brought forward against the Great Vowel Shift illustrated with examples. The results show that the Great Vowel Shift was no uniform process, but a series of local developments over time. Moreover, there are some words that show irregularities, i.e. their pronunciation of long vowels is still similar to that of Middle English. The critiques help us conclude that the reason why it is hard to n...

Seeing the nature of the topic and its complexity, we reasonably argue that it is not easy to shed light on the problems of the verbal system of the English passive voice in the Albanian language, because difficulties arise for the contrastive linguistics even for the scholars of linguistic field in the fact that comparative studies on contrastive linguistics have a complex pathway. It is said because we still lack the proper analytical studies which would indicate the paths of the researchers results of this language discipline. This study is intended to give our modest contribution to notice the similarities and differences in the use of the passive voice as well as its structure in both languages. This contrastive analysis tries to facilitate the acquisition of English as a foreign language for students, pupils, to make the translation from English into Albanian and vice versa easier, to provide linguistic information to language researchers. The comparison is supported by the following English novels and their translated versions in Albanian such as: "Oliver Twist" by Charles Dickens and translated by Skënder Luarasi and "Silas Marner" by George Eliot and translated by Ramazan Hysa, where similar as well as different features have been found.

The English and Albanian passive voice do not have a single grammatical structure and that this should be related to numerous legalities that follow the languages in their internal and external development. The studies carried out in terms of linguistic features, even of the passive voice according to the comparative method, have opened new paths to see similarities and differences even in the passive voice structure. This study is intended to give our modest contribution to notice the similarities and differences in the use of the passive voice a...

Language is a tool, whereby is discovered, acquired, transmitted, stored and inherited knowledge about the world and universe.
