English loan verbs 330 $aFocusing primarily on Standard Maltese, the authors clarify many areas which, until now, remain undefined, with emphasis on syntax and intonation. English loanwords continue to find their way into Standard Maltese, especially as the Maltese inhabitants become increasingly bilingual, and the variations are studied, as well as their morphological behavior. The book describes the syntactic, morphological and phonological structure of Maltese as one integrated linguistic system composed of different strands (Arabic, Romance and English). 410 0$aDescriptive grammars. 606 $aMaltese language$xGrammar 615 0$aMaltese language$xGrammar. 676 $a492/.77 700 $aBorg$b Albert J.$01693154 701 $aAzzopardi-Alexander$b Marie$f1952-$0661094 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825326803321 996 $aMaltese$94070762 997 $aUNINA
