Faik Konica’s Contribution in the Language and Some Phonetic and Orthographic Features in His Prose

Abstract

The article aims to highlight the phonetic and orthographic features of Konica’s prose, who was a prominent forerunner of today's Albanian literary language orthography. It needs to be highlighted that the Albanian phonological system is not the same as a century ago, because the uninterrupted flow of language evolution has experienced at times a disappearance of the phonemes, phoneme conversions or creation of new phonemes. Therefore we think that some linguistic dilemma expressed by the author are more than justified for that period of time when the Albanian language did not have a crystallized orthographic norm.
