Summary/Abstract: The synonymy in the language of Rexhep Qosja is rich and diverse and extends widely to all literary creativity. His language incorporates a complex system of synonyms, which are used to clarify thought or to highlight specific nuances of meaning, to better typify persons, circumstances, environments, and above all to enhance expressivity. In particular, there are many synonyms used to characterize the inner side, the personality traits of people. In his novels, are realized multiple and unlimited relations between lexical units. Qosja creates synonymous relations with words from all functional styles, which are distinguished by semantic, emotional, and stylistic expressive nuances. Synonymous rapports include lexical units with limited use, dialectical words, outdated words, foreign words, new words created by him, etc., as well as words of general use. Dialectal and regional words represent wealth in the semantic and stylistic-emotional plane, while neologisms are generally stylistic synonyms. In his novels, many lexical units from the passive lexical layer are introduced into synonymous relations, creating new synonymous verses with varying degrees of semantic similarity. Most often synonyms are created between words of literary Albanian and words of dialectal or popular origin. According to the lexical-grammatical category, the richest are the synonyms created with nouns, then with adjectives, with adverbs and verbs. Synonymy enriches its linguistic and artistic expression, expands the synonymy of Albanian with lexical units with special semantic, expressive and stylistic emotional values, and especially increases the expressivity of his discourse.
