Abstract

This paper is concerned with the categorization of compound nouns in Kurdish and English. It compares compound nouns of the two languages according to the prototype theory, applying categorization as a cognitive assumption. The paper attempts to achieve the following goals: first, classifying Kurdish compound nouns using morphological and semantic criteria, listing Kurdish compound nouns according to the prototype theory, showing the structure based on which the relationship between the components of a compound noun is represented, comparing the morphological and semantic relations between the components of compound nouns of Kurdish to those of English. The data of the study on the Kurdish language were collected and analyzed based on the fact that the author is a native speaker of Kurdish. The results show that the morphological structure of compound nouns in Kurdish is more complex than the structure of compound nouns in English though they share some structures. Unlike English, the head in Kurdish compound nouns is not always a noun. The categorization of Kurdish compound nouns is different from English ones; it depends on the nature of the languages and the different perspectives of their users. In both languages, there are compound nouns whose meaning needs encyclopedic knowledge of the speakers to interpret them. This point confirms the assumptions of cognitive linguistics namely simplicity, conventionality, and semanticity.DOI: doi.org/10.24071/llt.2020.230108

Abstract

Determiners are morphemes that occur before a noun to express what the noun refers to and are used to identify things. The present study attempts to find the difficulties Kurdish EFL students face when using English determiners. The study also tries to evaluate Kurdish EFL students' ability to use English determiners appropriately at recognition and production levels. To achieve the study's aims, answer its questions, and test the hypotheses, the researchers constructed an achievement test to collect data and measure the students' performance with regard to English determiners at both recognition and production levels. The test was answered by thirty-one English department students at Halabja university who were chosen randomly including both genders. The data collected from the test were analyzed, and the results showed that the participant's performance at the production level was lower than the recognition level. The results necessitate more training on using English determiners through comprehensive lessons and activities that can enhance Kurdish EFL learners' language proficiency
