Variacioni sintaksor në dialektet e shqipes
Syntactic variation in the dialects of Albanian

Summary/Abstract: This article investigates the role of syntactic variation in Albanian dialectology studies. Similarly to other dialectogical studies of different languages, variation of syntax in Albanian dialects has not been thoroughly and systematically reported. Studies have mainly looked at differences that dialects have in terms of phonology and lexical terms. In addition, the only four dialectological questionnaires, used for dialectological surveys for Albanian, were designed to address only a limited number of syntactic features differentiating dialects with one another. This study brings forth the contribution of these questionnaires to the study of syntax of Albanian dialects. In addition, it highlights several syntactic features that were not addressed through these questionnaires, emphasizing, thus, the importance of future systematic and comprehensive research in this area.
