Issued without a dust jacket. -- A collection of twelve scholarly articles exploring the linguistic evolution and diversity of the Maltese language. It shifts the focus from purely historical accounts to a contemporary linguistic analysis of how the language varies across different social and geographic contexts. Key Themes and Research Areas: The volume is divided into sections that address the lexicon, morphology, syntax, and phonology of Maltese through several lenses: - Social and Age-Based Variation [investigates whether distinct sociolects exist among the younger generation and examines the linguistic impact of Internet chatting]; - Geographic and Dialectal Diversity [features studies on regional varieties, specifically comparing dialects like Xlukkajr (southern Malta) and Naduri (Gozo)]; - Functional and Structural Issues [analyzes technical linguistic features such as clitics, the causative-inchoative alternation, and the use of the "possessive relative clause"]; - Modern Contexts [explores "technolects" and the specific variety of Maltese used within European Union institutions]; - Literary and Historical Perspective [includes linguistic analyses of major Maltese literary figures and the conscious efforts to standardize a "harbour/city" variety to gain prestige over rural dialects]. The book serves as a foundational text for general linguistics, proving that Maltese - with its unique blend of Semitic roots and Romance/English influences - offers a rich case study for understanding how languages adapt to social, political, and spatial changes.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The contributions included in this collection present different perspectives on various aspects of Maltese Linguistics, thereby enriching a field which has been attracting considerably greater interest in recent years than was the case in the past. The papers focus on the Maltese language itself as well as on Maltese in relation to other languages. They provide a picture of Maltese mainly from a synchronic perspective, descriptions ranging from indepth analyses of morphological and syntactic features to contributions on the lexicon, corpus linguistics and sociolinguistics. A number of papers dealing with diachronic considerations are also included. The topics dealt with in this volume show not only that Maltese is the object of research from a variety of perspectives but also that scholars with diverse backgrounds and of different nationalities are studying this language, thus providing an enriching body of knowl-edge, including findings of interest to general linguistics and various other fields in the humanities. Der vorliegende Band enthält Beiträge mit vielfältigen Herangehensweisen zu unterschiedlichen Aspekten der maltesischen Sprachwissenschaft und erweitert dadurch den Blick auf eine Disziplin, die in den letzten Jahren deutlich mehr Interesse findet als das in der Vergangenheit der Fall war. Der Fokus wird in den einzelnen Beiträgen sowohl auf die maltesische Sprache an sich als auch auf den Sprachkontakt von Maltesisch mit anderen Sprachen gerichtet. Neben synchronen Untersuchungen, die morphologische und syntaktische Eigenschaften sowie lexikalische, korpus- und soziolinguistische Aspekte von Maltesisch eingehend beleuchten, finden sich Analysen mit vorwiegend diachroner Blickrichtung. Die thematische Vielfalt des vorliegenden Bandes, die aus den unterschiedlichen He-rangehensweisen der beteiligten Wissenschaftler unterschiedlicher Nationalität und mit unterschiedlichem Forschungshintergrund resultiert, erweitert nicht nur den Wissensbestand der maltesischen Linguistik, sondern kann auch bereichernde Erkenntnisse für die Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft sowie für andere Zweige der Geisteswissenschaften liefern.; The contributions included in this collection present different perspectives on various aspects of Maltese Linguistics, thereby enriching a field which has been attracting considerably greater interest in recent years than was the case in the past.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The twelve contributions to this collection of articles focus on variation and change in the lexicon, morphology, syntax and phonology of Maltese. Various aspects of lectal variation are addressed: the properties of sociolects, technolects, regional varieties, and different registers of present-day Maltese are discussed. On-going changes are looked at in several of the papers. The questions of whether or not there is a typical Maltese EU-variety or a distinct sociolect spoken by the younger generation are raised. Not all of the phenomena which attest variation can be ascribed to the sociolinguistic sphere. Morpho-syntactic issues like the definition of clitics, the causative-inchoative alternation and the employment of the possessive relative clause are linked more closely to structural and functional factors. Suprasegmental issues like the use of pauses in spoken Maltese and the syllable structure of Maltese are scrutinized as well. These topics are complemented by dialectological studies, investigations of the pragmatics of Maltese and the description of literary Maltese. The range of topics covered in this collection proves that it is worth the while studying Maltese from the perspective of general linguistics.; Die zwölf Beiträge zu diesem Sammelband legen das Augenmerk auf Variation und Wandel in Lexikon, Morphologie, Syntax und Phonologie des Maltesischen. Verschiede Aspekte der lektalen Variation werden angesprochen: Die Eigenschaften von Soziolekten, Fachsprachen, regionalen Varietäten und verschiedenen Registern des heutigen Maltesischen werden diskutiert. In mehreren der Artikel werden gegenwärtig ablaufende Veränderungen beleuchtet. Dabei wird die Frage gestellt, ob eine typische EU-Varietät des Maltesischen oder eine eigenständige maltesische Jugendsprache besteht. Nicht alle Phänomene, die mit Variation verbunden sind, lassen sich der soziolinguistischen Sphäre zuordnen. Morphosyntaktische Probleme wie die Definition von Klitika, die Kausativ-Inchoativ-Alternation und der Gebrauch des possessivischen Relativsatzes hängen stärker mit strukturellen und funktionalen Faktoren zusammen. Suprasegmentalia wie die Pausen im gesprochenen Maltesischen und die Silbenstruktur des Maltesischen werden ebenfalls untersucht. Ergänzt werden diese Themen durch Arbeiten zur Dialektologie, Pragmatik und zum literarischen Maltesischen. Die Bandbreite der Themen, die von diesem Sammelband abgedeckt werden, zeigt, dass es sich lohnt, das Maltesische aus dem Blickwinkel der Allgemeinen Sprachwissenschaft zu erforschen.
