we will be based on a variety of literature, including some works that have been done precisely

on this topic. The research will be done through a qualitative approach and three research

techniques and instruments will be used:

Document analysis - which will enable us to do in-depth analysis of short forms within

documents (newspapers).

1. Introduction

In addition to the importance of short forms in morphology and syntax, they are also

important in the correct formulation of sentences, paragraphs and texts in general,

whether literary or non-literary, therefore through this paper we will elaborate on the

topic:“Shortforms,theiruse indailyKosovarnewspapers”.Inthispaper,theshort

forms used in the four daily Kosovar newspapers will be specically elaborated:
