The impact of foreign expressions in Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure Code of the Republic of Kosovo
Get PDFGlobalisation is defined as economical, political, social and cultural process and the effect of it is has the impact in the whole world or all inclusive. From this definition it derives that this process is multi dimensional that has included the whole of the globe from the physical point of view it has had a comprehensive impact in almost all spheres of life and societies. As such it is considered as un avoidable. With all the positive’s that globalisation brings and have to do with economical development There is a downfall side of it that can be called as negative sides and have negative consequences. As a result of it , the trends of those who oppose it in diametrical manner has grown giving us to types the one who are for it , and the one who oppose it by all means. It is true that globalisation changes relationships, not only political but economical social and cultural as well. In this manner globalisation manifests itself in linguistic and cultural sphere. This is more than obvious in Albanian space and where this impact is clearly visible. In Penal and procedural science in Kosovo this impact is doubled: while in Penal code of Kosovo the impact is more in language and is manifested in particular terms mainly English ones in Procedural code this impact has been in the substance of the procedural penal code itself. Time is a witness that usage of foreign terms in Albanian language most of the time is a necessity and the only salvation is borrowing up the foreign terms .And this mus go on until the proper term in Albanian language is found or created and this will be left to the linguists first of all the one who study the penal sphere to invent and create that must be in Albanian and are meaningful and correspond with the meaning of the foreign word or expression without leaving any doubts in this very delicate field
The influence of English in the language used by Kosovar media
Get PDFThe 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
The propaganda and the image of Kumanova incident
Get PDFCountries aim to create a positive image for themselves even through propaganda exerted by state actors, being presented as a victim of aggression, in order to gain sympathy from others. One such case of being presented as victims by demonizing the other party, was the armed incident in Kumanovo, Macedonia which happened at the beginning of the month of May; an event which had a great media coverage by international media. In this incident Macedonian side sought to present itself as victims of aggression caused by extremist citizens from Kosovo. International media widely reported the incident while a foreign publics, uninformed in details about the Balkans developments, is often influenced by the primacy effect of the message, be that a false one. The paper will address the huge international media coverage on this armed incident where 18 people were killed seen from the perspective of the image of Albanians in general and Kosovo in particular. The main hypothesis that arises here is that the incident in Kumanovo, despite great uncertainties and doubts about the event itself, has negatively affected the international image of Albanians to distant public. The paper aims to analyze the coverage of the powerful international media; the primary message that was given and whether later explanatory information were provided thus to clarify the uncertainties. The primary message, even if it is a propaganda message, is estimated to be more effective than subsequent correction, especially in cases when the receiver of the message is a hardly informed public with the developments or the public which does not show any specific interest to such developments
Standard albanian opposite dialectic features in audiovisual media in Kosovo
Get PDFThe media, means as modern of expression and cultural lingual communication, encompass one of the essential spaces where the standard Albanian must be mastered and promoted. With the unification of Albanian language in the Albanian Orthographic Congress in 1972, and preliminarily with the Council of Prishtina in 1968, the Albanian standard was embraced and supported as the official version, practical in all public, institutional and educational spheres also in Kosovo. The reality today proves there is an unsatisfactory level of grasping and use of the standard as opposed to dialectical forms or provincial speeches, which features are heavily encountered in the media domain. This paper aims to reflect the real situation of the use of standard Albanian by its speakers and media newscasters in some electronic broadcasters, such as: RTK, Klan Kosova, RTV 21 and RrokumTV (the latter as a broadcaster promoting Gheg speech, as a language version opposed to its standard). We have made efforts to answer some questions in regard to the scale of the use of standard, the influence of lingual formation of guests towards the presenters, the level of standard mastered by speakers and presenters, their commitment to correctly use the norm of standard Albanian and the typology of TV shows, as dictators of the use of standard and dialectic forms
The spin doctor: an alternative approach of public relations in albanian administration?!
Get PDFThis study will focus on the approaches of public relations in the Albanian administration and its cooperation with journalists in spreading information through various channels. Taking as a study case the Albanian Justice System, the paper will discuss the following questions: 1. Is spinning emerging as an alternative of PR in Albanian administration? 2. What are the dominant characteristics of public information? 3. As a result, are there implications for mass communication theory and for the practice of journalism? Using communication and public relations theories intertwined with empirical evidences, the study suggests that spin doctor can be considered as a distinguished communication role, but at its infancy. Putting a positive spin on events, shedding the truth and spreading the information via mass communication channels raises the discussion of information trends and perception to the potential publics. As information technology is in continuous development, as social media are increasingly challenging the traditional media, the effectiveness of spin is in question

Tele-Democracy: Albanian Talk Shows and New Media
Get PDFWhen Phil Donahue first aired The Phil Donahue Show in Dayton, Ohio, in 1967, he made the studio audience a full participant by putting them in direct dialogue with guest experts or celebrities. Critics evaluated this as a revolution in television talk, which has variously been called participatory television.1 Today, nearly half a century later, history recurs. Social networks create opportunities for talk show programs to have an interactive communication with a much wider audience, even international.2 Thanks to the social media tele-democracy takes a full dimension! But, how do talk shows in Albania exploit these new platforms? What is the opinion of the TV hosts on them? What is the studio audience involvement and what are the social networks used for? – These are some of the questions that will be given an answer in this paper. The research is based on interviews and a survey with 31 talk show TV hosts in Albania; archived talk show programs and contemporary authors on communication and new media

Albanian online media and functioning models
Get PDFThe creation of the first information portals in Albania has a relatively short history that goes a little further than a decade. Online media are currently an undeniable reality, and along with the positive innovations that they have brought to the media market or media industry in Albania, they have been accompanied with some problems. The nature of these information portals in itself or of different journalist blogs, which rush towards the last minute news, prompted by the big competition on the web have a somewhat difficult rapport with the reliability of the information that they publish. Often times the audience is suspicious of the veracity of the information and it is expected that they read the same news on many different websites to make sure that it is true. The online media, as the whole media market, needs financial revenues in order to survive and continue the activity. But how much do these portals guarantee revenues, what are their relations with advertisers and how much their behavior has changed in delivering advertising budgets? On the other hand, these new media have also created an additional market for the journalists or new reporters, who now form an important community. Even though some years ago being a journalist was only connected to the job in a television, newspaper or radio, we now have a large number of reporters engaged full time or part time only in online media. The need to study related to the status of these journalists employed in these portals arises from this new reality. How are they treated financially, does their professional engagement change because they are only employed in an online media, how does their status change related to the source of information compared to the colleagues in traditional media? This study aims exactly at finding answers related to the questions arising towards the models of functioning of the online media in Albania, their rapport with reliability and the status of the journalists employed in these media
