Maltese Linguistics on the Danube
This volume brings together a dozen papers on various aspects of Maltese, relevant also for the study of related languages and general descriptive and typological linguistics. The diachronic section begins with an analysis of the place of Maltese in its North African context (Souag). Avram and van Putten then provide analyses of the development of Maltese phonological inventory, the former discussing obstruent devoicing, the latter tracing the evolution of Maltese short vowels. Sumikazu examines a type of circumstantial clause in Maltese and the section concludes with a description of a digital etymological lexicon of Maltese (Gatt). Turning to syntax, Borg and Amaira analyze agreement misma...
Maltese
This volume features nine articles, covering various aspects of Maltese linguistics: Part I, mostly dedicated to the Maltese lexicon, opens with Bednarowicz’s comparison of Maltese and Arabic adjectives. Fabri then categorizes various types of constructions involving the preposition ta’ ‘of’. The paper by Lucas and Spagnol discusses Maltese words containing an innovative final /n/. Part II deals with the syntax of Maltese: Azzopardi’s paper focuses on a construction in Maltese which consists of a sequence of two or more finite verbs. Just and Čéplö present the first corpus based study of differential object indexing in Maltese. In Part III on morphosyntax, Turek analyzes Arabic ...
The Next Century of Maltese Linguistics
This volume presents contemporary research across various facets of Maltese linguistics. Part I examines Maltese from a diachronic perspective and phonological developments. The studies in Part II address morphology and syntax, namely, agreement, derivation, secondary predication, coordinated prepositions, and object reduplication. Part III sheds light on applied linguistics and recent advancements in Maltese. Lastly, the papers in Part IV discuss synonymy. Several papers offer comparative analyses between Maltese and other Romance or Semitic languages. The insights gained regarding Maltese contribute to research on related languages, as well as to general and typological linguistics.
Exploring Structures in Languages and Language Contact
The contributions of this volume offer fresh insights into different aspects of grammatical structures. Language contact is the primary focus of several contributions, addressing various aspects of this topic, including lexical borrowings, creole languages, and other contact effects. Ranging from typological perspectives on grammatical structures to individual case studies, the volume sheds light on the complex processes underlying linguistic diversity worldwide.
The Grammar of Maltese Prepositions
The grammar of Maltese prepositions is described in detail starting from the definition of what counts as a preposition in Maltese. The sixty simple prepositions are analyzed as to their phonological, morphological, syntactic, and semantic properties in synchronic perspective. In this way several classes of prepositions can be distinguished on the basis of their structural behavior. The empirical data stem from the Korpus Malti 3.0 and a broad selection of conventionally published literature in contemporary Maltese. The study combines qualitative and quantitative methods. The results are evaluated with reference to the typology of adpositions as proposed by Hagège (2010).
