An Analytical Perspective on Monosemantic Words in the Explanatory Dictionary of the Albanian Language

Data on monoseminism in language are less evident and analyzed compared to polysemy. Although studies in the field of semantics and lexicology are numerous, they are inclined towards the study of polysemy. We will try to make a modest contribution to the study of linguistic aspects related to the phenomenon of monosemy. This paper tries to reflect statistical, analytical and comparative data on monosemantic words in the Albanian language, arguing which of the parts of speech shows more monosemanticism and why the phenomenon of monosemism is more highly developed and is more frequent in the lexical categories. The corpus of words from the "Dictionary of the Albanian language" 2006 (AAS/ILL)1 was taken into consideration to collect the material used for the identification of monosemantic words. Finally, the identified words are classified according to the word classes they belong to, in order to process the statistical data. The collection of material has been careful and exhaustive, in order to argue about the quantity of unambiguous words in the explanatory dictionary of the Albanian language. The distribution and frequency of monosemantic words in the explanatory dictionary of the albanian language, according to their respective word classes, as well as a comparative analysis of the quantitative values of monosemantic words, will provide a clear perspective on the significance of monosemy in the dictionary and the impact this phenomenon has on the language
