OVERVIEW OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF LANGUAGE TERMINOLOGY AND TECHNICAL TERMINOLOGY IN THE ALBANIAN LANGUAGE
Abstract
For a long time, terminology as a linguistic field has been the subject of research by scholars, both in the context of the general problematic of the Albanian language and in regards to the problematic that the terminology itself encompasses. Albanian technical terminology is related to international terminological systems, as well as new arrivals conditioned by the opening of Albania and Kosovo and their path to integration into international organizations, such as NATO, EU, etc. It is also related to globalization and the powerful impact of English. The history of development motivates the current state of linguistic and technical terminology in close connection with the general lexicon of the Albanian language, with units that are specialized as standardized terms in various fields of technical-technological knowledge. This paper deals with an overview of the beginnings and developments of Albanian linguistic terminology and technical terminology in the Albanian language.
