| Abstract: | This article gives an overview of the key facts relating to the expression of negation in contemporary Standard Maltese. Issues considered include: anaphoric negation, constituent negation, sentential negation expressed both with the particle mhux and the bipartite construction ma…-x, factors governing omission of one or both elements of the bipartite construction, the interaction of negation with indefinite pronouns, and the analysis of -x in non-negative contexts. |
