Abstract:

This volume is a collection of up-to-date articles on Maltese on all
linguistic levels, demonstrating the variety of topics Maltese has to offer
for linguists of all specializations.

Two diachronic studies discuss the early contact of Maltese and Sicilian
Arabic (Avram) and the possible lexical influence of Occitan-Catalan on
Maltese in the 13th-15th century (Biosca & Castellanos).
Fabri & Borg shed light on the rules that govern verb sequences in Maltese.
Čéplö presents a corpus analysis of the syntactic and semantic properties of
focus constructions in Maltese. Stolz & Ahrens analyze the behavior of
prepositional phrases with identical heads under coordination.

Wilmsen & Al-Sayyed study the use of muš as a negator in Maltese and beyond.
Puech presents a detailed phonological analysis of Maltese and Tunisian Arabic
based on prosody, syllabic structure, and stress. Azzopardi-Alexander gives a
fine-grained analysis of phonological features in Maltese English, placing
speakers on a Maltese-English continuum. Sciriha takes a visual approach to
multilingualism in Malta with her quantitative study of public and private
signs.

Finally, Versteegh offers a thought-provoking perspective on the notion "mixed
language" and its viability.
