This paper provides a descriptive overview of restrictive relative clauses (henceforth RRCs) in Maltese, a construction which has received little attention to date and which is poorly described in existing grammars. We outline an LFG approach to the facts we describe building on existing LFG work on relatives. Further we explore some issues raised by Maltese for approaches to resumption.
