Abstract

Sotir Peci is one of the most eminent figures of the Albanian struggle for freedom and national prosperity in the first half of the 20th century. Among other things, he realized the need for a dictionary that would include and preserve as much as possible from the lexical, semantic and phraseological richness of the Albanian language. Despite dictionary’s flaws that reflect the level of lexicographical theory of that time, Peci’s attempt is to be congratulated. Some of the word entries of his dictionary that has remained still unpublished, like agoj, anamendas, ballësoj, bleshëm (i), dhilë, grymtë (i), etc., may enrich the semantic and lexical system of the Albanian literary language, therefore the author of this paper express the idea that they should be included in the contemporary Albanian dictionaries.
