Language Conformity and the Use of Standard Albanian Language

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate the outcome of a relationship between conformation and the use of language standard among Albanian language students, who were also part of this research paper. Moreover, feedback on the contexts was provided by them. Spelling on word formation was evaluated for each text, as well as correct pronunciation within the terms. For each text is evaluated the spelling of word phrases, directing within reading terms and the interpretation of the text content. The research was conducted with 34 students, in order to produce some results related to conformation and the use of standard language. The outcome of the research brought emerge real sociolinguistic indications of the use of the standard. These parameters are: conformism, individualism, language inequality and language “competence”. The use of the standard language by the students in the written and spoken form shows that apart from linguistic conformity and the linguistic of each student, a student from a particular region speaks with different phonetic nuances of standard language (or prosodic) of that sphere and with nuances of personal individuality. Language as a sociolinguistic notion, is the adaptation of one’s individuality to the language of the social group he/she belongs to. The interconnection of and standardization of language is a current general issue of sociolinguistics. There is no complete conformism. The written standard is learned while linguistic conformism is measured by its learning and practising.
