Muarem AJDARI, Osman ISMAILI

Abstract

Based on dependency grammar, the verb is the head of the sentence and it has the ability to determine the structure of the sentence, respectively to determine the necessary members of the sentence, without which the sentence would be grammatically incorrect, an ability known as valence of the verb. The sentence is built from groups of words related to each other in terms of grammar but also meaning. The group of words das schöne Haus ‘shtëpia e bukur’ in terms of the hierarchy has a noun, which stands at the highest hierarchical place and which leads it with this group of words, haus is therefore the head of this group of words, respectively shtëpia, and based on this, it is named as a noun phrase (Nominalphrase). Noun phrases, as a linguistic construction, depends on the verb in the sentence and based on this it can share different functions in the sentence as syntactic parts (Syntaktische Glieder). The parts of the sentence are divided into complete and circumstantial. The division is made according to the criteria of specification and necessity. A verb is specific if it occurs only in a certain subclass of verbs. As for necessity, the proof is made by removing the definite article from the sentence.
