Non-verbal predication in Maltese
Résumé
After the introduction, Section 2 provides basic information about Maltese morphosyntax. It is followed by a detailed description of the non-verbal predicative constructions in Maltese, based on the typological approach developed in the Position Paper (Creissels, Bertinetto, and Ciucci, this volume) and on the questionnaire for the contributions to this volume (see the online appendix). Section 3 discusses the juxtaposition strategy, Section 4 the pronominal copula, Section 5 the locative copula qiegħed, Section 6 the verbal copula, Section 7 the locative copula fi, Section 8 the adverbial copulas, Section 9 predicative possession and Section 10 wraps up. Each section investigates nominal, adjectival, and adverbial predication, possessive predication, and other uses of the constructions where relevant.
