| Abstract: | This paper combines some Albanian scholars’ findings regarding Albanian personal names with some empirical data taken from questionnaires filled out by adult respondents (aged 18–23), who were part of a survey conducted at the University of Durrës (Faculty of Education). My research was carried out with the help of inductive methods, which although sometimes fail to offer any scientific certainty, allow for generalisation to be made, provided direct and clear examples are brought. Thus, after a review of the studies written by Palok Daka, several subdivisions of personal names were distinguished (e.g. personal names of local origin, foreign origin, and so on). The names were analysed from a sociolinguistic perspective, with reference to the theory of linguistic deficit, which in the case of Albanian is linked, to a significant extent, to cultural deficit. |
