Peer-reviewed literature on the Albanian participle reports that the language possesses distinct morphological forms, specifically a synthetic invariable form and a pre-articulated form.
This paper deals with the distribution of Albanian past participles, which are found in compound and periphrastic verbal tenses; in non-finite verbal forms, such as infinitives and gerunds; in combination with particles or prepositions in sentences expressing a temporal value; with impersonal modal verbs, in sentences expressing necessity; in stative contexts; in absolute participle constructions. Albanian participles have two different morphological forms: a synthetic invariable, uninflected verbal form, and a pre-articulated form, which corresponds to an adjective or to a neuter noun. The analysis identifies distinct participle structures that differ in terms of type and syntactic size of the constituent with which the participle combines.
