| Abstract: | In a previous paper, we referred to our joint research on the process of oral composition by Maltese folk poets, and we illustrated one limited aspect -- imagery. This time, we shall focus our interest on the sea and more particularly on the relationship between man and the sea as reflected in Maltese folk-poetry. Our survey has entailed an analysis of 100 quatrains about the sea, with commentaries, supplementary material and motifs found in other related genres (riddles, proverbs, tales) both locally and in neighbouring countries. The present paper gives a brief account of the main features disclosed by our analysis. |
