Opis

As an Arabic language with a heavily mixed Semitic-Romance-English lexicon, Maltese serves as a laboratory for linguistic research on questions of variation, typological classification, bilingualism, and language contact. In this book, studies on phonological, morphological, and syntactic variation are complemented by investigations on bilingual practices on Malta, aspects of language technology, and language contact.

Recenzje

"This volume does an excellent job of representing some of the most recent research on Maltese linguistics, and research that should be of interest to other linguists in a variety of subfields. The research presented may be incorporated into a variety of theories and compared to many other languages. The chapters together also provide a robust overview of much of the previous research in Maltese for readers who are interested in more."
