| dc.description.abstract | Etymological analysis of the Maltese lexicon within the project Loanwords in the world's languages shows Maltese to be a "high borrower", with a proportion of loanwords (35.1o/o-30.3o/o from Romance, 4.So/o from English) roughly comparable to that found in Japanese (34.9o/o) and slightly lower than that found in English (41.0o/o). The breakdown according to semantic field and part of speech yields largely expected results, though Maltese has an unusually high percentage of borrowed kinship terms. A number of individual examples are discussed to illustrate particular methodological points. | en_GB |
