dc.description.abstractMaltese developed from an Arabic dialect and the absorption of Old Sicilian, Italian and later English mainly into its phonology and vocabulary. Maltese scholars early noticed and tried to distinguish different spoken varieties and the distinction between rural and urban dialect. Research of the last forty years realised that the boundaries of Standard Language as roof of the communication system and dialect as small-scale communication are macerating. In the form of a recorded monologue in Żejtuni dialect, differences to Standard Maltese are highlighted such as the muffling and diphthongisation of the vowels, the pharyngealised realisation of għV-combinations as well as phonotactic notes to vowels and consonants. Maltesisch entwickelte sich aus einem arabischen Dialekt und der Aufnahme von Altsizilianisch, Italienisch und später Englisch in seine Phonologie und sein Vokabular. Maltesische Gelehrte bemerkten und versuchten früh die verschiedenen gesprochenen Varianten und die Unterteilung zwischen ländlichem und städtischem Dialekt zu unterscheiden. Die Forschung der letzten vierzig Jahre erkannte, dass die Grenzen der Standardsprache als Dach des Kommunikationssystems und Dialekt als kleinräumige Kommunikationsform aufweichen. In Form eines aufgezeichneten Monologs in Żejtunischem Dialekt werden Unterschiede zum Standardmaltesischen wie z. B. die Verdumpfung und Diphthon gierung der Vokale, die pharyngalisierte Realisation der għV-Verbindungen sowie phonotaktische Anmerkungen zu Vokalen und Konsonanten hervorgehoben.en_GB
