Summary/Abstract: Rexhep Qosja’s journal Witness in historical time with current seven volumes, the content, the themes, ideas, thoughts, structure, language, and style has not only cultural, historical and political value, but also artistic, linguistic and scientific importance. It is a comprehensive, holistic, coherent, and systematic journal in both aspects, content and linguistic-textual one. It can also be called mosaic-journal of encyclopaedic character. Our observation confirms that the author has never, in any writing period, used predetermined forms of journalistic writing, but was always keen to merge various scriptural types, sometimes even putting discourses and functional styles in unusual but interesting juxtaposition and opposition. And, precisely this way of writing gives this journal the special mark of originality. Hence, it can be said that from the aspect of discourse, the journal represents the most complete form in which can be investigated the typology of Albanian discourse and functional styles. The author, Rexhep Qosja, has masterly and with rare talent achieved to make discourse and inter-stylistic blending or “collages” by developing a “vival” and attractive text not only for the attentive reader.
