Description
This research aims to find and document the evolution of the concept of landscape in the Albanian language, based on literature published until 1945. The literature is mainly focused on periodicals that are found in the archives of the National Library. The research method according to the Dóra Drexler model on the selected material within the specified period of study is based on two main aspects: 1) finding the word landscape used directly; 2) in the absence of finding the word used, finding and documenting data that testify to the way the concept of landscape originated in the Albanian language. The data for each case studied are presented in a unified manner for each material, also in two forms: 1) documenting the number of cases of finding the word used in the literature and 2) notes with the author' own findings on the circumstances of the use of the concept with substitute words according to the semantic context in which they were used. While the word "landscape" is not found to have been used in the literature searched during this research, the linguistic articulation used in the publications reviewed reflects on the possible paths of origin of the word itself.
