STYLISTICS OF PHONETIC AND MORPHOLOGICAL TOOLS IN KADARE’S WORKS

Hana DARDHISHTA

Abstract

In addition to being a very complex and refined language, the language used in Kadare's works finds its primary source of support in everyday speech. The reader himself is the greatest person to witness this. The reader—or, more accurately, the researcher—is the one who is most familiar with the fact that Kadare's works employ not only literary language but also dialectal forms and novel word formations, which occasionally impart stylistic or semantic nuances that differ from those of the standard language word. Thus, he is among the authors who have contributed to the expansion of the lexicon through the addition of new terms and forms. Similar to any other language, Albanian stylistics examines the Albanian language's instruments and expressive potential as well as its discourse structure, styles, and texts from the perspective of secondary linguistic organization. Older words, neologisms, and regionalisms are examples of words with evocative power that can be employed as stylistic elements to give a text or style the right nuances. This research paper's goal was to discuss the stylistic elements found in Ismail Kadare's "Broken April" and "The Fall of the Stone City" books and novels. These elements included phonetic organization—that is, combining words to create a perceptible expressive effect—sound symbolism, word formation as a stylistic element, and word-forming methods. We also include the presentation or samples from Kadare works in the paper's thorough section. Suffixation and composition take center stage in this paper among the novel word-forming methods in terms of production and extension.
