| dc.description.abstract | The paper is concerned with the Sequence of Tenses (SOT) under conditions of bilinguilism. The authors undertook fieldwork among Maltese University students. Unlike the Maltese mass media in Engish, in which SOT is strictly observed, the majority of informants do not apply it. The nonobservance of SOT could be the result of interference from their mother tongue (permanent code-switching in family interacting). It could also be due to the attitude of Maltese students - speakers of English as a second language - to the "errors" in SOT, which they consider communicatively irrelevant. | en_GB |
