The University of Malta has recently launched a ‘Specialised Dictionary: Economics’, which will standardise a number of terms for the benefit of researchers and academics in the economic field, as well as that of authors, teachers, journalists, translators and all those wishing to write on the topic using the Maltese language.
The dictionary was compiled by economist, UM academic Prof. Lino Briguglio, and edited by Prof. Michael Spagnol and Mr Dwayne Ellul from the Department of Maltese, as well as Mr Thomas Pace, the Executive Director for the Maltese Language.
The specialised dictionary was published by the National Council of the Maltese Language in collaboration with the Department of Maltese in the Faculty of Arts at the University.
In a , Mr Dwayne Ellul said the idea to build this collection of terms started from a post on Facebook, where a discussion arose around what the term GDP stood for.
A digital copy of the dictionary can be found through the University's Library website.
