The Faculty of Foreign Languages is pleased to share with the academic community the publication of two new scholarly works by our faculty members, which constitute an important contribution to the fields of linguistic and literary studies.
🔹 Assoc. Prof. Dr. Adriatik Derjaj has published the university-level textbook “Grammar of the Turkish Language”, a comprehensive guide to understanding language as a logical, cultural, and creative instrument- serving as a bridge between its internal structure and the external world. The author approaches Turkish not merely as a system of rules, but as an internal structure of thought in the Chomsky ( Avram Noam Chomsky )sense: an inner architecture that is transformed into communication through actual use. Written with scientific rigor and didactic clarity, Grammar of the Turkish Language integrates generative grammar with contemporary communicative approaches, positioning language at the intersection of competence and performance, analysis and use. The book serves as both a practical tool and a valuable reference for students of Turkish in the process of learning and acquiring linguistic structures.
🔹 Dr. Albert Sheqi has recently completed and published the book “Introduction to Literature: Fiction.” This English-language publication is an academic text that aims to provide students with a comprehensive, clear, and systematic overview of prose as a literary genre. The book examines the fundamental elements of fictional prose—ranging from plot, types of narration and narrators, and characterization, to point of view, time, space, style, and literary language – continuing with themes, ideas, and symbols in narrative texts. These elements are treated not as rigid theoretical concepts, but as dynamic tools of interpretation. Built on a balanced integration of theory and textual analysis, the book guides readers toward the development of analytical, interpretative, and aesthetic skills, encouraging them to engage with literature not only as an academic exercise but also as an intellectual, emotional, and cultural experience. “Introduction to Literature: Fiction” aims to serve as a reliable guide for students taking their first steps in literary studies, as well as a solid foundation for further critical exploration.
đź‘Ź Congratulations to the authors on this achievement and for their valuable contribution to the enrichment of academic literature and the enhancement of teaching quality at the Faculty of Foreign Languages.
