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. 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.

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 prepositions in Classical/Modern Standard Arabic and Arabic dialects and contrasts them with their Maltese equivalents. Stolz and Vorholt then analyze the structural and functional similarities and differences of spatial interrogatives in Maltese and Spanish. Vorholt then investigates the adpositions of sixteen European languages including Maltese and examines the relationship between length and frequency.The volume is closed with Part IV on phonology and Avram’s paper, in which the diachrony of voicing assimilation in consonant clusters is reconstructed.
