The distinction between independent (or main) clauses and dependent (or subordinate) clauses is fundamental to an understanding of English clause structure. Related to the distinction between these two kinds of clauses, clauses may be finite with a full verb phrase that has "tense" and can be either main or subordinate and non-finite that have the internal structure of sentences without having a full complete verb phrase and are always subordinate. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to analyze and compare the differences and similarities between the non-finite clauses in English and Albanian languages, respectively nominal functions of infinitive and gerundial subordinate clauses. The analysis is done from the English and Albanian grammar books to present the structures and functions of English and Albanian nominal gerundial and infinitive clauses. A detailed grammatical description is presented. The comparison is done from three English novels and their translated versions in Albanian as well as from three Albanian novels and their translated versions in English in order to find out the similarities and differences between the English and Albanian nominal gerundial and infinitive subordinate clauses and vice versa. The nominal gerundial and infinitive clauses are selected from the English and Albanian novels and their correspondents are searched for in the translated versions. The instrument such as test is used to identify, analyze and explain the most common and major mistakes and errors that are usually made by students. Moreover, it presents the percentage of correct and wrong responses given by twelfth grade students of the public high school “Kuvendi i Lezhës” in Vitia, Kosovo and by third and fourth year Albanian students of the English language faculty from three different universities such as private college AAB in Prishtina, Kosovo; public University “Fehmi Agani” in Gjakova, Kosovo; and South East Europian University in Tetovo, Macedonia. |
