Stefan Müller: Towards an HPSG Analysis of Constituent Order in Maltese

The conference talk dealt with the constituent order in Maltese. It described the orders that are possible, including cases in wich objects are realized both by clitics and by full NPs and provided an HPSG analysis. The analysis is implemented in a computer processable grammar fragment, which is described in more detail in the proceedings of the first conference on Maltese Linguistics (Maltese paper). The full description of the grammar fragment covers several other phenomena in addition to constituent order.
