The Next Century of Maltese Linguistics

This volume presents contemporary research across various facets of Maltese linguistics. Part I examines Maltese from a diachronic perspective and phonological developments. The studies in Part II address morphology and syntax, namely, agreement, derivation, secondary predication, coordinated prepositions, and object reduplication. Part III sheds light on applied linguistics and recent advancements in Maltese. Lastly, the papers in Part IV discuss synonymy. Several papers offer comparative analyses between Maltese and other Romance or Semitic languages. The insights gained regarding Maltese contribute to research on related languages, as well as to general and typological linguistics.
