Nonetheless, there hasn't been any alike line up or distinctive separation of translations, even when, after the '90s was widely admitted the existence of traditions, literary movements and schools in the Albanian literature of tradition. On the other hand, there have been isolated cases when, justly, scholars have spoken about a Nolian school of translation or other schools of translation as well. What we are aiming here, is something else, concerning the translation and translation traditions/schools in the Albanian literature. At the moment similar hypothesis or issues are submitted or propound, (what is really normal and spontaneous), no matter the set aside of arguments, the Gheg school of translation shines bright in its silence and going completely un-mentioned. While the critic and literary studies speak in scientific conferences and meetings about literary schools - referring the original (process of) writing - they have excluded the role and position of translation in the literary polysystem. And this paper aims exactly to explain and straighten out the undefined position of the translations in the literary polysystem of the Albanian literature.

The classification of questions is not only one of the most treated topics in linguistics, but also the one that encounters many problems. In Albanian linguistics, there are classifications of questions, but there are also problems related to the terms used in describing these classes and subclasses and the grouping of interrogatives in each class. One of the two main classes of questions/interrogatives is alternative questions. This paper aims at making a clarification and classification of alternative questions and alternative interrogatives based on the semantics and syntax of the Albanian language. Furthermore, it is to be claimed that there are two sub-types of alternative questions/interrogatives, i.e. polar alternative questions and disjunctive alternative questions.

The consumer behavior changes in linearity with the change, meaning so increase and decrease, of the tax rate. Albania, as a post-dictatorial country and yet a transitional economy with a very fragile economy, has been having a very unstable tax policy. The change of taxes had an impact on the development of the economy, so periods of time with low or flat taxes are accompanied with higher incomes and a higher rate of GDP. Constructive state policy in the field of consumption plays an important role in sustainable social and economic development of the economy. The state regulates the consumption process by means of fiscal policy, building the socially oriented budget of the country, creating a fair taxation system for the population that stimulates domestic demand and economic activity. The aim of this article is to verify if the income after taxes influences in the consumer behavior. If there happens to be found a linear correlation between the income and consumer behavior and we know that higher tax rate means a smaller amount of net income what is the correlation between taxes and consumer behavior ? In this continuity of the article the major tasks are: analysis of income level to the type of consumer behavior and social group of the consumers; analysis of the influence of Albanian taxation system on the possibilities of increasing the domestic demand of different population groups; defining the measures intended for increase and growth of domestic demand.

According to Levi-Strauss, the myth, differently from other linguistic phenomena, belongs to both the Ferdinand de Saussure categories of language - langue and parole; thus, it is both a historic portrayal of the past, being diachronic and irreversible in time, and it is also a tool for explaining the present and the future, being synchronic and reversible in time, evocative of past memories; this helps illustrate the relation between the two dimensions: the diachronic and the synchronic. Referring to the symbolism hidden in the “Dead River/Lumi i vdekur”, which appears as a legend pointing to the animism of nature, we can perceive authentic relations of language and style by combining the portraying of life as a philosophy of the eternal relationship between nature and human beings. In addition, by following the line of argument that in the same way as God loves human beings he also takes revenge on them, we see the same thing happening by way of analogy between man and animals, theirs being an invisible connection for better or for worse.","PeriodicalId":7790,"journal":{"name":"Anglisticum Journal","volume":"79 1","pages":"46-53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78825069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It aims at demonstrating that Baldwin’s plays belong to the Western epic theatre at the level of form and are platonic at the level of content in their conception of love. The Amen Corner recalls in many aspects Plato’s dialogue Symposium (2008) in which the participants provide their definition of love trying to displace, provoke and collectively search for truth in a process of a dialogic interaction. His play Blues for Mister Charlie is not only a black church ritual but it is written according to the Western epic theatrical tradition as designed by Bertolt Brecht.

One of the topical problems of semasiology, whose main task is to study the meaning of the word, is the phenomenon of enantiosemy. Enantiosemy is the opposition between the meanings of one word or phrase and one of the important problems of semasiology as well. Different opinions have been put forward about the linguistic nature of enantiosemy, its relation with lingual asymmetry, the factors of occurrence and its place in the linguistic level. For instance, it is said that the occurrence of enantiosemy is connected with mixed nature of ancient words, meaning development, word formation and grammatical factors. Or whilst its place in the lexical level is sometimes evaluated as a type of homonymy, antonymy and polysemy, it is sometimes introduced as a separate lexical phenomenon.
