Show/Hide Abstract Progressives in Maltese English: A comparison with spoken and written text types of British and American English (2012)
Michaela Hilbert Manfred Krug
In investigating progressives in Maltese English we use data from a sub-sample of ICE-Malta and parallel British and American texts, as well as questionnaires from these countries. Progressives in written Maltese English, with one exception, broadly follow the British exonormative standard. However, substantial differences are evident in spoken texts, including the extension of progressives to stative verbs. But the differences cannot generally be explained in terms of overuse and extension. Our data confirm previous comparative studies in that the use of progressives also in Maltese English is subject to text type and formality considerations. Two additional important factors are language contact (e.g. the existence of parallel constructions and imperfectives in Maltese) and language-internal constraints (e.g. a cline between dynamic and stative verbs).

Show/Hide Abstract Linguistic Levels: Idioms and fixed expressions (2012)
Gabriele Knappe
In order to establish a framework of reference for an approach to historical English phraseology, a brief discussion of the concept and scope of phraseology and phraseological scholarship is provided in Section 2. On this basis, Section 3 approaches historical phraseology in two consecutive steps – always paying special regard to English: a brief overview of the state of historical phraseology leads to major approaches, which establish the main procedure in Sections 4 to 6. In Section 4, the role of metalinguistic sources for historical phraseology is pointed out, especially with relation to the identification of phraseological units in historical texts. Theories of the origin, rise, and kinds of change of phraseological units as well as the employment of English phraseological units in literary texts are the subjects of Section 5. While Section 5 is thus concerned with change in the phraseological system over time, Section 6, vice versa, finishes off the article with an outlook on the influence of frequent word combinations and phraseology on language change in a broader perspective.
