The Component of The Lexicon of Gheg Origin in Standard Albanian

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to show that a large part of the lexicon of standard Albanian, which is based on the Tosk dialect, has its origins in the Gheg literature. The author has tried, with the linguistic tools at her disposal, to determine the Gheg origin of the spread of some categories of lexemes in standard Albanian and in the literary language. However, as researchers in the field have also noted, the paths of transition from the regional lexicon to that of the literary language are very difficult to follow, and she does not pretend to have the last word in this endeavour. The author has undertaken a research for the identification of lexemes of Gheg origin in the common literary Albanian, defining some criteria for the definition of the Gheg origin of lexemes that are considered common to the language from the present viewpoint. These lexical groups represent only a small part of the Geg lexicon in Common Albanian. A comprehensive study of the portion of the Geg lexicon in the standard language would confirm the koine concept formulated by Kostallari with regard to the field of the lexicon.
