| Abstract: | The focus of this paper is on the interaction between the spatial prepositions fi, ġewwa, ġo and place names as their complements. On the basis of data extracted from the Korpus Malti 3.0, the token and type frequencies of the PPs are presented in order to determine the hierarchical order of the prepositions under scrutiny. Several criteria are checked as to their role in the choice of preposition for the function of expressing Place and Goal. The discussion of the facts is complemented by a preliminary comparison with constructions involving bare place names. |
