Das ungarisch-albanische Wörterbuch von Zoltán László (1913) - Imperialismus und Sprachwissenschaft

Towards the end of the 19th century the Albanian part of the Ottoman Balkans became a target of Austro-Hungarian foreign policy. In the attempt to expand the empire across this region, scholarship acquired great significance. To date the focus has been primarily on Austrian researchers, while the fact that Hungarian scholars and the Hungarian elite were also pursuing their own interests has been overlooked. Looked at in this light, the Hungarian-Albanian Dictionary produced by Zoltán László (1913) can be seen as a cultural-political tool relating to the expansionist ambitions in the South-western Balkans. The monograph by Krisztián Csaplár-Degovics and Lumnije Jusufi offers a comprehensive reconstruction of the history of how László's dictionary came into being. The edition of the original version is accompanied by a comparative linguistic analysis and a historical analysis from a modern imperial history perspective.
