Marie Azzopardi-Alexander, Albert Borg
Focusing primarily on Standard Maltese, the authors clarify many areas which, until now, remain undefined, with emphasis on syntax and intonation. English loanwords continue to find their way into Standard Maltese, especially as the Maltese inhabitants become increasingly bilingual, and the variations are studied, as well as their morphological behavior. The book describes the syntactic, morphological and phonological structure of Maltese as one integrated linguistic system composed of different strands (Arabic, Romance and English).|
No serious competition.
First wide-ranging study of Maltese, especially as regards syntax and intonation.
Authors have been studying and researching Maltese for 20 years.
Of interest to typologists and also the Arabist & scholar of Romance.
