Hana DARDHISHTA
Abstract
In addition to being a writer, Ismail Kadare is also the central personality of Albanian culture in the second half of the 20th century. His name is associated with the generation of the 1960s in the literature, which brought a spirit of general emancipation to the national culture. Kadare's work, the novel "The General of the Dead Army", is the study material of this paper, including the novels "The Concert" and "A Moonlit Night". Kadare's literary activity is so abundant both in terms of titles and content. Kadare's novels that are based on history have the past as a trigger for the present, but even though we have selected some novels with such themes, the aim of this paper is the analysis of Kadare's language, especially the phonostylistic and morphostylistic characteristics in the abovementioned works of this great writer.
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, 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. In the elaborated part of the paper we have also the presentation or giving examples from Kadare's deeds.
