Title: Il-lingwa letterarja u l-Malti standard Abstract: Għadu komuni f'Malta I-ħsieb li min jikteb xogħol letterarju jkun qiegħed jagħti wkoll sehem fit-trawwim tal-lingwa. L-egħruq ta' din il-fehma lokali jinsabu fil-mottiv ewlieni li kellhom il-kittieba Maltin mill-bidu tal-moviment lellerarju bl-ilsien nattiv sa flit ilu, jiġifieri li jagħtu bixra serja lill-kitba ta' l-ilsien. B'konsegwenza, minħabba I-programm ta' rikostruzzjoni lingwistika - sintattika u lessikali - l-għan fundamentali tal-Iellerat (l-espressjoni estetika ta' kontenut imġarrab) ingħata importanza sekondarja. Dan ma jgħoddx għall-ilħna kollha, u anqas ma jgħodd għall-bqija bl-istess mod, iħda xhieda tal-fenomenu tinsab fil-fatt li meta spunta d-dibattitu bejn l-awturi kien aktarx dejjem ta' xenta apoloġetika, difiża tal-lingwa u mhux espożizzjoni ta' temperamenti letterarji, idejologiji djalettiċi, jew parteċipazzjoni maħsusa fil-kurrenti Ewropej. Din il-parteċipazzjoni, bla dubju, hi prezenti l-ħin kollu, iżda aktarx awtomatikament, u mhux skond kuxjenza kritika, Hi ħaga iebsa li wieħed jifred minn xulxin l-għan ta' rikostruzzjoni lingwistika u l-għan ta' l-espressjoni letterarja, meta wieħed iqis li l-ġrajja tal-kelma Maltija mħaddma b'arti hi ġrajja li tinfirex fi ħdan il-moviment romantiku TaIjan, jiġifieri m'hix eqdem minn mitejn sena. Bis-saħħa ta' dak li gnħamlu l-poeti u r-rumanzieri tradizzjonali, dawn is-sisien tqiegħdu ftit jew wisq fuq is-sod, u llum l-awtur jista' jħares lejn I-isfida lellerarja b'maturita li I-biċċa I-kbira ta' I-awturi ta' qablu ma setgħux jaslu għaliha. II-polemika għebet, il-lingwaggi letterarji nħolqu, il-kelma standard daħlet u I-perspettivi kulturali ta' I-individwi nfetħu u aġġornaw ruhhom.

Title: Allegory and the old man in Chaucer's 'The Pardoner's Tale' Abstract: The Old Man who meekly greets the three revellers on their quest for death has been the subject of controversy over a number of years, the question being largely one of identification. Who is the Old Man and what is his exact function in the tale? In the numerous analogues compiled by Bryan and Dempster he does not make an appearance, and it is therefore assumed that he is largely Chaucer's creation.
