Alcune osservazioni sulla terminologia relativa ai rapporti fra i sessi nei Kanun delle montagne albanesi.

We conducted a short analysis of historical, cultural and linguistics aspects based on a corpus of traditional Albanian law (Kanuni i Leke Dukagjinit, Kanuni i Skanderbegut, Kanuni i Dibrës) existing in several areas of northern Albania inhabited by a population of Catholics and Muslims. The survey, aimed at highlighting the features of the vocabulary related to the relations between the sexes, the strong role played by religious institutions and, in particular, by the Catholic Church (as is evident from the events related to the codification of KS), focused on terms related to the most important stages of the existence of the individual in the Kanun society, e.g., legitimate marriages martesa me kunorë, illegitimate unions (pa kunorë), and other lexemes related to this semantic field, e.g.
kopil "bastard" lidhun "damned, blasted", used to refer to members of an unmarried Catholic couple. With regard to the latter lexeme, particularly interesting is the development of specific meanings, recorded in the ancient Albanian literature, which emerged in magic-religious contexts ("lent, carnival, sorcery, magic"). There is also a large number of borrowings in the lexicon related to family relationships, particularly in the area of marital infidelity, e.g. kurvni (from Slavic languages) as well as many Turkisms (varan / Jaran, zinaç).

本研究基于阿尔巴尼亚北部多个天主教与穆斯林族群聚居区域流传的传统阿尔巴尼亚法律语料库（corpus），涵盖《莱克·杜卡吉尼法典》(Kanuni i Leke Dukagjinit)、《斯坎德培法典》(Kanuni i Skanderbegut)与《迪布拉法典》(Kanuni i Dibrës)，对其历史、文化与语言学维度展开简要分析。本次调研旨在凸显与两性关系相关的词汇特征、宗教机构（尤其是天主教会，从KS编纂相关事件中可得到佐证）所发挥的重要作用，研究聚焦于卡努恩社会中个体生命历程关键阶段相关的术语，例如：合法婚姻（martesa me kunorë）、非婚结合（pa kunorë），以及该语义场（semantic field）下的其他词项，例如用于指代未婚天主教伴侣的kopil（意为“私生子”）、lidhun（意为“该死的、受诅咒的”）。针对后者（即lidhun），其在古阿尔巴尼亚文学中记载的特定语义演化尤为值得关注；该词最初出现于魔法宗教语境，相关场景包括"lent, carnival, sorcery, magic"。此外，与家庭关系相关的词汇中存在大量外来借词，尤其是涉及婚姻不忠的语义范畴，例如源自斯拉夫语的kurvni，以及诸多突厥语借词（Turkisms）：varan/Jaran与zinaç。
