    ENGLISH WORDS IN THE LEGAL TERMINOLOGY OF KOSOVO
    (AAB College, 2025-07-14) Ramadani, Fatmir
    English language as the most widespread language in the world, is used as language of communication, technology, education by more people and for more purposes than any other language on Earth. English Language today is spoken all over the world and the nature of its easy transmission to the people through mass media makes it as the most accessible language on earth. Kosovo was rapidly part of these developments after the 1999. Every Kosovar is bilingual and many multilingual. They are rich in terms of languages spoken, due to the interaction with countries and cultures abroad and presence of many international institutions. Foreign languages influenced Albanian spoken language but also language of education, media and communication, particularly after the war in 1999, English language and words drastically influenced common spoken language as well as glossary of Kosovar legislation. This was done either by using intentionally English legal terminology into Kosovo legislation, or by continuing use of English words in official language and communication which resulted with words becoming integrated part of legal terminology. My long experience as Language Assistant in various international organizations in Kosovo, would be a great help to focus on English terminology that has entered into legal system of Kosovo, respectively legal linguistic terms that were borrowed by judges, prosecutors, lawyers, police officers, and other parties involved in legal proceedings in Kosovo.

    The influence of English in the language used by Kosovar media
    (AAB College, 2025-07-11) Alla, Aida
    The aim of this research is the reflection of the influence of English language on Albanian language used by Kosovar media. The Albanian language is always influenced by other languages, including the impact of different invaders throughout history over the Albanian people. English language holds a special place as a global or international language. Its use affects all the languages of the world, including Albanian, where its influence has become more significant over the past twenty years. This happened due to uncontrolled entry of anglicisms in Albanian language and the need for appropriate terminology labelling as a result of technological development. The equivalents of current Albanian words are not used in the media or in public because of the prestige that that English words have. Lack of equivalent words is another reason for using more anglicisms. Today, despite the commitment of the Albanian language lecturers, television media and daily newspapers are the most significant users of anglicisms. This research deals with the history, use, causes, time and future anglicisms in Albanian language.
