The theoretical part is devoted to a thorough explanation of the concept of onomatopoeia and individual areas in which onomatopoeia can be encountered both in spoken and written form. Due to the lack of materials on Albanian onomatopoeia, we worked mainly with Czech or foreign materials, whose theories can be applied across languages. We also deal with a chapter on music, which we consider to be one of the most crucial areas of onomatopoeia and which explained us many facts. The aim of the bachelor's thesis was to create a sample of a hundred words of sound-painting character in Albanian, which we subsequently analyzed in the practical part. Our sample is also supplemented by Czech equivalents, which may not always be sound-painting. But it was crucial for us to find sound-painting words in Albanian.
