A Comparative Study Of Macedonian And Chinese Language Morphology

Morphology is indispensable part in grammar.Morphology is defined as the rules of composing and using a word,including it’s structure,morphological changes,functional categories etc.,therefore it is one of the most emphasized area in studying a language.The Macedonian language belongs to Indo-European languages family,while the Chinese language belongs to Sino-Tibetan languages family.The word in Macedonian has rich inflectional morphological changes,unlike in Chinese where it has its own way of constituting and morphological characteristics which increases the differences in their systems of morphology.This study mainly introduces the basic strands of Macedonian and Chinese parts of speech,their grammatical functions,the points prone to errors in the process of learning Macedonian and Chinese language,the points of focus etc.It emphasizes the introduction of the nouns,pronouns,verbs,adjectives,adverbs,prepositions,particles etc.and their importance in the process of learning these two languages,the problems that can appear and their solutions.This dissertation sets out from this perspective systematically and comparatively study the concept of parts of speech in Macedonian and Chinese language.The author in the process of doing the comparative study of the morphological systems in Macedonian and Chinese language relies on the previous Macedonian,Chinese and Indo-European languages research achievements.The comparative study of Macedonian and Chinese morphology has not been done before.This dissertation is the first attempt to compare the morphological systems in those two languages.Therefore the research of this project in the process of foreigner languages teaching has certain positive impact.The paper includes six chapters:Chapter One is introduction to this dissertation research task and its meaning,discusses the current situation of the research of morphology in Macedonian and Chinese language and introduces the research methods and the source of the linguistic data.Chapter Two respectively introduces to the word formation of the parts of speech in Macedonian and Chinese language.Chapter Three discusses the parts of speech in Macedonian and Chinese language and their classification standards.Chapter Four carries out the comparatively study of Macedonian and Chinese notional words.Firstly separately describes the notional words in the both languages including:nouns,verbs,adjectives,numbers and measure words,pronouns and adverbs.Then on this basis compares and discusses the similarities and the differences of the notional words in these two languages.Chapter Five carries out the comparatively study of Macedonian and Chinese functional words.Respectively describes the functional words in both languages including:conjunctions,prepositions,particles,interjections,onomatopoeias and modal words,then on this base compare their differences and similarities,reveals the congruent relationships of the functional words in both languages.Chapter Six is an epilogue,summarizes the main content of this dissertation,examines its deficiency and puts forward the further study of this issue.
