Title: The dress of stars, of sea and of earth (at 510B) : an analysis of the Maltese Cinderella Marchen within the Mediterranean tradition area
Abstract: The article begins with the telling of the Cinderella story in a Maltese context. Malta is one of the many countries where this type has been recorded. In fact the Cinderella story, which is distributed all over Europe and far beyond its boundaries was even known in Ancient Egypt. The Maltese versions belong to those areas, which according to Von Sydow's theory changed their original type and accepted the new form of the prince feast
episode. The continuation of the article is the search for motifs in the Maltese version of the Cinderella story.1981-01-01T00:00:00ZPer una valutazione storico-letteraria del Romanticismo Maltese

Title: Per una valutazione storico-letteraria del Romanticismo Maltese
Abstract: It is necessary to distinguish clearly between different relationships intimately connected to each other when talking about a movement complex like romanticism. The liberal disposition, developed in the human spirit according to natural tendencies or according to the particular conditions of place and time, is often identified with the romantic arrangement. The same problem concerns the definition of idealism, the distancing of the intellect from limitations of empirical experience and openness to other levels of knowledge that detach man, especially the artist, from the conditions of immediate reality. These trends, merged with several others, often rise to the surface when searching
to give a definition of romance. It is a contemporary attitude, a plot of provisions and beliefs that act in man in his research of the infinite and on its hard path towards new spaces.1981-01-01T00:00:00ZL'elemento Maltese nel Maltese

Title: L'elemento Maltese nel Maltese
Abstract: It is said that Maltese is a mixed language. It is also said that it is an Arabic dialect. Others say that pure Maltese does not exist. What then is the Maltese? To enter the discussion, the author shows two Maltese translations of the same Arabic text. The author of the original is the Lebanese poet Īlyā Abū Māḍī (1889-1957). The poem is of philosophical content (existentialist). The author will also take a look at the original Arabic text and then compare the original with the two translations to get a first impression of the differences and coincidences between these two languages.1981-01-01T00:00:00ZLocalism : a method for describing meaning in Maltese

Title: Localism : a method for describing meaning in Maltese
Abstract: Psychologists are generally agreed that spatial organization is of central importance in human cognition. Assuming an intimate relationship between the development of intelligence in the human baby and the process whereby it acquires its mother language, the localist hypothesis claims that spacial expressions are more basic, grammatically and semantically, than various kinds of non-spatial expressions. Such spatial expressions are more basic linguistically in that they serve as models or structural templates, as it were,
for other expressions.1981-01-01T00:00:00Z
