Lashtësia e eposit të kreshnikëve nëpërmjet arkaizmave gramatikore
The Ancient Epos of Kreshniks Through Grammatical Archaisms

Summary/Abstract: The songs of the Epos of Kreshniks (Heroic Songs), part of Albanian folk literature, belong to an ancient period of our history, related to the Ancient Medieval. This has been proven by different aspects of these creations, one of which being the archaic elements in the grammatical structure. Among the archaic grammatical elements preserved in the Epos of Kreshnik, we can clearly note: the neutral gender of the names (for ex. ata bukë), paradigms of the feminine gender with a theme in the consonants (for ex. lodja), the ablative case without a preposition (for ex. Ndalnju gurrave), indefinite masculine names without case ending (for ex. t’vllat), the forms of the genitive-dative cases in the plural with the ancient ending -e (for ex. krushqet), the interrogative pronoun pre-articled (for ex. i cili jush sarajet m’i dojtë?), the short form of the third personal pronoun plural u, instead of the second person ju (for ex. a u ra n’mend për babë e nanë), the optative mood in the function of the subjunctive mood (for ex. kush dalsh t’ligt nuses me m’ja hjekë), paratax constructions (for ex. kanë nisë kangën e po këndojnë,/ kanë nisë lodrën e po lodrojnë) etc..
