Bekim Bejta (born 11 June 1970 in Kosovo - Mitrovica [1]) is a Kosovar Albanian linguist, poet and translator. In 2009, he received the Kosovo National Literary Prize for the translation of Raga. Approche du continent invisible by Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio.[2]
Studies[]
He studied at the University of Poitiers, where he obtained a bachelor's degree in 1994, a master's degree in 1996 and a PhD with a dissertation on "Morpho-Phonological Assimilation of French non-Naturalized Borrowings in English and its Lexicographical Treatment"[3] in 2002.
Contributions to linguistics[]
Bejta’s initial speciality is linguistics. He started with publishing The Solution to English Word-Stress (2003). The counterpart of this book in French is his work L’Accentuation en anglais[4](2003). In 2007, he published, in Albanian, the work Gjuha dhe të folurit (Language and Speech). Recently, two linguistic books of his were published in Pristina, Analyse phonologique des emprunts en anglais, (2009), and Naturalisation morpho-sémantique des xénismes an anglais (2009).
Translations[]
He undertook the task of translating novels, poems, and short story collections because of the lack of good translations in Albanian. Since then, he has translated a dozen books from English and French.
