The 8th International Conference for Maltese Lingusitics  took place between the 18th and 21st of September at the University of Bremen, Germany. Over 30 researchers attended this conference entitled “The Next Century of Maltese Linguistics”. The conference of the International Association for Maltese Linguistics (GĦILM) is held every 2 years and is attended by both Maltese and foreign researchers working on Maltese linguistics. 

The conference consisted of 27 talks, including 2 plenary talks by Prof. Andrei Avram (University of Bucharest) and Prof. Dominique Caubet (INALCO, Paris). Presentations covered a range of topics including  theoretical linguistics, sociolinguistics, stylistics and computational linguistics. An edited volume of linguistic papers will be published in line with previous publications compiled following GĦILM conferences.

The two branches of the Malta Centre in Bremen and Malta were responsible for the organisation and coordination of this event and provided financial support to set up and run the conference. The organising committee consisted of Prof. Thomas Stolz and Maike Vorholt (University of Bremen) and Prof. Ray Fabri, Dr Michael Spagnol, Raffaello Bezzina and Michela Vella (University of Malta). The conference was a great success and both branches of the Malta Centre look forward to organising future events promoting Maltese linguistics on an international level.

It-8 Konferenza tal-Għaqda Internazzjonali tal-Lingwistika Maltija(GĦILM) saret bejn it-18 u l-21 ta’ Settembru fl-Università ta’ Bremen, il-Ġermanja.

Iż-żewġ fergħat taċ-Ċentru tal-Ilsien Malti fi Bremen u f’Malta kienu responsabbli mill-organizzazzjoni u l-koordinazzjoni ta’ dan l-avveniment u pprovdew appoġġ finanzjarju biex jittella’. Il-kumitat organizzattiv kien jikkonsisti mill-Prof. Thomas Stolz u Maike Vorholt (l-Università ta’ Bremen) u mill-Prof. Ray Fabri, Dr Michael Spagnol, Raffaello Bezzina u Michela Vella (l-Università ta’ Malta). Il-konferenza kienet suċċess u ż-żewġ fergħat taċ-Ċentru tal-Ilsien Malti huma ħerqanin li jorganizzaw avvenimenti oħrajn li jippromwovu l-lingwistika Maltija fuq livell internazzjonali.
