Derivation of English and Romanian Adjectives. A Contrastive Approach
Derivation of English and Romanian Adjectives. A Contrastive Approach

Summary/Abstract: The study tackles the issue of Adjective derivation from a contrastive perspective. We have noticed that for Romanian learners of English as a Foreign Language, contrastive studies are a useful manner of understanding the similarities and the differences between the two languages. Therefore, we have presented the issue of derivation in Romanian and English and tried to point out the aspects that are common but also the ones that are different. We believe that connections between suffixation and prefixation in Romanian and English can be of real help for learners of any of these two languages. Making connections with the mother tongue has always been a manner of enhancing grammar rules. The examples selected from literary pieces of writing are meant to awaken the learners` interest for reading.
