Bekim Bejta (born in Mitrovicë, Kosova) is a Kosovar Albanian linguist, poet and translato. In 2009, he has received the Kosovo National Literary Prize for the translation of a book by Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio.
Studies
He studied at the University of Poitiers, where he obtained a Bachelor's degree in 1994, a master's degree in 1996 and a PhD with a dissertation on "Morpho-Phonological Assimilation of French non-Naturalized Borrowings in English and its Lexicographical Treatment" in 2002.
Contributions to linguistics
Bejta’s initial speciality is linguistics. He started with publishing The Solution to English Word-Stress (2003). The counterpart of this book in French is his work L’Accentuation en anglais(2003). In 2007, he published, in Albanian, the work Gjuha dhe të folurit (Language and Speech). Recently, two linguistic books of his were published in Prishtina, Analyse phonologique des emprunts en anglais, (2009), and Naturalisation morpho-sémantique des xénismes an anglais (2009).
Poetry
In 2008 he published a collection of poetry, Serenadë mëngjesi (Morningtide Serenade), consisting of 91 poems.
Translations
He undertook the task of translating novels, poems, and short story collections because of the lack of good translations in Albanian language. Since then, he has translated a dozen books from English and French.
