Book Chapter
The Shaping of Maltese throughout the Centuries: Linguistic Evidence from a Diachronic-Typological Analysis
2009
Overview
Throughout the centuries the Maltese morphological system has undergone restructuring with the integration of morphological processes from Romance languages & it was affected by mixture with a Semitic & Romance component. Thus a series of contact-induced changes have shaped Maltese as a \"mixed type.\" Linguistic evidence of the processes of restructuring & mixture can be found in early written documents in Maltese. The objective of this typological-diachronic analysis is to present some evidence of the shaping of Maltese found in a corpus of Maltese texts (XVIIIth-XIXth centuries), by applying methodological tools developed in the field of Contact Linguistics.
