Abstract
Taking as a starting point the relevance-theoretic types of meaning: conceptual (i.e. representational) vs. procedural (i.e. computational), this paper focuses on Muhamet Hamiti and Lindita Tahiri’s reading of Anglo-American and French literary studies in the context of the impact on Kosovo/Albanian scholarly research in this domain. This paper is part of a wider interdisciplinary domain of discourse studies, computational linguistics and text linguistics. More specifically, the Hamiti-Tahiri Corpus under investigation represents a comparative study of the dominant English and American critical-literary scholarly research and French criticism and theory in the twentieth century that examines their reception in and impact on the Kosovo Albanian literary scholarly research.
The aims of the inspected text are original and specific especially in the domain of comparative studies. In addition to this, Hamiti and Tahiri’s text abounds in explicitness and coherence and, consequently, it represents more than useful language material for computational analysis. We have applied Computational Text Analysis (CTA) to our Hamiti-Tahiri Corpus in order to shed light on certain linguistic devices in this discourse type.
