The national language of the Island of Malta, in the Mediterranean
Sea is spoken by almost 400,000 people. This text focuses on
Standard Maltese and serves to clarify many areas which remain
undefined, specifically in the areas of syntax and intonation.
English loanwords continue to find their way into Standard Maltese,
especially as Maltese inhabitants become increasingly bilingual,
and their variations are studied, as well as their morphological
behaviour. Complying with the Descriptive Grammars series profile,
Albert Borg presents a linguistical analysis of Maltese which is
intended to be of significance to linguists, for the purposes of
both cross-language comparisons and the study of specific
linguistic, such as language universals, language typology,
comparative syntax, morphology and phonology.

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).
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 enthalt Beitrage mit
vielfaltigen 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 Beitragen 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 Nationalitat und mit
unterschiedlichem Forschungshintergrund resultiert, erweitert nicht
nur den Wissensbestand der maltesischen Linguistik, sondern kann
auch bereichernde Erkenntnisse fur die Allgemeine
Sprachwissenschaft sowie fur andere Zweige der
Geisteswissenschaften liefern."
In the run up to the general elections of 12th April 2003 and the
EU referendum of the 8th March 2003 in Malta, much uncertainty
existed in the country's main sectors, particularly the
manufacturing ones, on the future of SMEs, which make up a large
proportion of the country's business. This dissertation
investigates, through primary research, whether Maltese SMEs can,
and have, learnt anything from the Greek experience of EU
membership.
