Korrigjuesja

Korrigjuesja is an Albanian noun that designates a female person who corrects texts, typically in the role of a proofreader or editor. It derives from the verb korrigjo, meaning to correct, and forms the feminine equivalent of the masculine korrigjuesi/korrigjues. In modern usage, korrigjuesja refers to a professional or semi-professional editor who checks spelling, grammar, punctuation, and style, and may also verify factual accuracy and consistency with a publication’s house style.

The term is employed across contexts where text accuracy is important, including book publishing, journalism, academia, and digital content production. A korrigjuesja may proofread manuscripts, revise articles for print or online publication, or correct student assignments in educational settings. Depending on the setting, her responsibilities can range from basic proofreading to more substantive editorial work, such as improving clarity, coherence, and consistency with editorial guidelines.

Korrigjuesja coexists with broader editorial terms in Albanian, such as redaktore, which denotes an editor responsible for broader content decisions and styling. While korrigjuesja emphasizes correction and linguistic accuracy, redaktore can encompass a wider range of editorial duties, including content selection and structural edits. The noun is standard in formal and semi-formal Albanian writing and is understood in professional contexts to describe a woman performing text correction and editing tasks.
