Along with other researchers, participating in this event of importance for Albanian sciences, the Dean of the Faculty of Philology of UT, has emphasized that the language of our press has been, is and will continue to be the object of attention of Albanian linguists, who, they also look at the press from a linguistic point of view.
“The first issue of the newspaper “Flaka e Vëllazerimit” was published on April 4, 1945 in Skopje. From 1971, they began to publish three issues a week, while from May 26, 1994, “Flaka” became a daily. We have extended the research on the language of the newspaper to four decades of its publication (1970 – 2001). So, the research includes the period after the Orthography of Prishtina (Prishtina, 1964) as well as the period before and after the Albanian Spelling Congress held in Tirana in 1972. The numbers of the years 1970 – 1972 can be said to have played a leading role in the reflection of literary trends (standard Albanian) that settled in Tirana (1972). After the Albanian Spelling Congress (1972), this newspaper took as a national task the implementation of what was decided in Tirana.” – said Prof. Dr. Berton Sulejmani.
In five sessions that include linguistics, literature, history, ethnology and folklore, this scientific conference aims to bring new results in these Albanian disciplines.
