This volume brings together a dozen papers on various aspects of
Maltese, relevant also for the study of related languages and
general descriptive and typological linguistics. The diachronic
section begins with an analysis of the place of Maltese in its
North African context (Souag). Avram and van Putten then provide
analyses of the development of Maltese phonological inventory, the
former discussing obstruent devoicing, the latter tracing the
evolution of Maltese short vowels. Sumikazu examines a type of
circumstantial clause in Maltese and the section concludes with a
description of a digital etymological lexicon of Maltese (Gatt).
Turning to syntax, Borg and Amaira analyze agreement mismatch in a
number of syntactic constructions, Fabri discusses argument
extension and Ceploe and Lucas examine the role of the focus
particle lanqas in Maltese negation. Stolz and Levkovych provide a
thorough analysis of the syntax and semantics of Maltese
prepositions, while Schmidt, Vorholt and Witt offer a quantitative
study of their distribution and use. Closing out the volume,
Alexander examines in detail the phonetics of Maltese affricated
stops, while Ellul and Galea analyze the epenthetic vowel
alternation in the Maltese definite article.
