Phonological, morphological, and syntactic issues are addressed by international experts on Maltese. The diachronic development of Maltese, its age-long contact with Italo-Romance, and the present diglossic situation with co-official English are the topics of a variety of contributions to this volume. The repercussions that the promotion of Maltese to the status of official working language of the EU has on the Maltese lexicon are discussed. A project on the sociolinguistics of non-native Maltese-English is presented. The problems posed by the creation of electronic resources for Maltese are equally focused upon. The papers amply demonstrate that Maltese Linguistics can stand on its own outside the traditional field of Oriental Studies. 113 6 24 2009 6 12 2009 9789027205803 9789027290298 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam 10.1075/slcs.113 http://www.jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027290298 https://www.jbe-platform.com/deliver/fulltext/9789027290298.pdf https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/slcs.113/html
