Ganu'n kasi 'yun dito: Some useful points to ponder when conducting ethnolinguistic research in the Philippine context, at The 2025 Maridette Molina Lectures in Linguistics, Mindanao State University - Iligan Institute of Technology, Iligan City, Saturday, April 12, 2025

This presentation outlines the factors that need to be considered when conducting research on the interplay between language and culture among ethnolinguistic communities and social groups in the Philippines. It also provides guidelines for doing ethnographic research, semantic analysis, and data elicitation, which are guided by ethically sound methodologies and contextually appropriate frameworks used in the social sciences in general and in the discipline of linguistics in particular.

Free-flowing food: Food as facilitator of baysanan, a community festivity in Batangas, at 15th SIEF Ritual Year Working Group Conference: Food, Feasts, Festivities, and Folklore, University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City, Friday, December 13, 2024

In this paper, we present the activities surrounding kasalan (‘wedding’) or baysanan, one of the largest festivities in many communities in Batangas, a province in southern Luzon, celebrating the union of the bride and the groom and, by extension, the consequent union of their families. The term baysanan, used in place of kasalan, gives emphasis to baysan, a kinship term that refers to the relationship between the respective parents of the marrying pair. One day before the wedding ceremony, the couple visits the household of their principal...

Lexical choices in post-colonial Filipino and Korean, at 14th International Free Linguistics Conference, Kadir Has Üniversitesi, Istanbul, Saturday, September 30, 2023

The objective of this study is to compare the lexicon of Filipino, the national language of the Philippines, and Korean, the national language of Korea, by focusing on the history and process of borrowing lexical items resulting from contact between the said countries and their colonizers—Spain and Japan, respectively. It was born out of the observation that, whereas the Philippines has seemed to be more democratic when it comes to borrowing and maintaining Spanish loanwords in Filipino vocabulary, Korea, on the other hand, has exerted a conscious effort to eradicate Japanese terms and...

Semantic specialization of terms surrounding cultural practices related to marriage in Batangas, Philippines, at 14th International Free Linguistics Conference, Kadir Has Üniversitesi, Istanbul, Saturday, September 30, 2023

It is often said that if you want to marry someone from Batangas, you need to start raising a drove of pigs that will be given as gifts (locally called sabit) to principal sponsors and will feed a whole community during the wedding reception (locally referred to as baysanan). In this study, we attempt to unravel how cultural practices related to marriage are lexically codified in a community in Batangas, a provice south of Manila in the Philippines. We were able to observe two practices of gawaan ng magaling—one in October 2021 and another in...

The lecture ends on some notes on challenges encountered and best practices undertaken specifically in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic,...

Buhay na/ng Wika: Ang Departamento ng Linggwistiks at Usapin ng Filipino bilang Wikang Pambansa, at 15th Philippine Linguistics Congress, University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City, Thursday, August 24, 2023

Tunay na naging masalimuot ang mga talakayan hinggil sa pagdalumat, pag-iral, at kahihinatnan ng Filipino: una, bilang wikang pambansa at patakarang pangwika na ipinatupad sa isang bansang multilinggwal at kagagaling lamang sa panahon ng kolonyalismo; at pangalawa at kapwa-mahalaga, bilang isang wikang masasabing lehitimo sang-ayon sa iba't ibang akademiko at pulitikal na pamantayan. Ang panel na ito, kung gayon, ay magtatangkang mag-ambag sa diskursong ito sa pamamagitan ng pagbabalik-tanaw sa mga pinagdaanan ng wikang Filipino mula sa lente ng mga disiplina at espesyalisasyon ng...

Batayang Pagsasanay sa Leksikograpiya para sa Pagpapaunlad ng Wikang Filipino: Pagbuo ng Korpus, at SWF Pasinatì 2023: Palihan sa Wika, Teorya, at Metodolohiya (Zoom), Saturday, February 18, 2023

Nakatuon ang pagsasanay sa batayang kaalaman sa leksikograpiya na magagamit sa pagbuo ng proyektong leksikograpiko. Sa madaling pagpapakahulugan, ang leksikograpiya ay tumutukoy sa mga prinsipyo at praktika sa pagbuo ng diksiyonaryo. Pumapaloob ito sa bahagi ng corpus planning na nakadikit sa mga proseso ng kodipikasyon at elaborasyon sa pagpaplanong pangwika. Bagama't mapanghamon, maituturing na mahalaga ang mga proyektong leksikograpiko para sa mga adhikaing nauukol sa preserbasyon at intelektuwalisasyon ng wika. Ang isang buong araw na palihan ay magbibigay ng panimulang kaalaman at...

Paki-unmute: Makabagong hamon at mga bagong oportunidad para sa linggwistik na pananaliksik, at Salindunong 2022: Ika-14 Pambansang Kumperensiya sa Filipino at Pananaliksik (Virtual Meeting via Zoom), Wednesday, April 20, 2022

Hindi kaila sa marami ang napakalaking epektong idinulot ng pandemyang COVID-19 sa lahat ng aspekto ng buhay ng sangkatauhan. Hindi lamang ang larangan ng medisina ang nakaranas ng pag-uswag upang makahabol sa pagtugon sa pangangailangan ng lahat, kundi maging ang iba pang mga disiplinang nagbibigay ng malawak at malalim na kaalaman upang maging makatao ang pagbuo at pagpapairal ng mga patakaran bilang tugon sa pandaigdigang kalusugan at kagalingan. Maaari ring sabihing naging catalyst ito upang ang ipakilala ang mga bagong kaayusan at pamamaraan sa iba’t ibang larangan, gaya ng...
