One of the most important texts in the history of written albanian language, especially at the beginning of XVIII century, is the text of Kuvendi i Arbënit (Convention of Arbën). It contains the acts of the convention assembled in 1703 by the order of Pope Clement XI and was published first in Latin and in Albanian, becoming thus an important source to study Albanian language grammatical features and structures, even though it is a religious text. This study aims to point out the differences between the nouns determinatives in both these texts, their place and adaptation in the sentence. As it is known, word order in Latin and Albanian is free, both indo-European languages, as a consequence of the inflection system which is not reduced, especially in Latin. So, in this comparing study will be analyzed the different kinds of pronouns and adjectives, their position in the sentence, before or after the noun which determine, similarities and differences between their use in these two languages. Even more linguistic observations can be done on this text, especially in syntactic level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
