The reduplicative affix C1(C2(C3))V1- in Filipino orthography: A corpus-based analysis, at Linguistic Society of the Philippines National Conference, Bataan Peninsula State University, City of Balanga, Thursday, March 1, 2018

This paper looks into how the reduplicative affix attached to borrowed terms in contemporary written Filipino is represented in the current orthography, as reflected in the corpus of published texts. The Filipino language corpus is the product of the UP Monolinggwal na Diksiyonaryong Filipino (UP MDF) project, with the aim of using the former as the basis for the compiling of the said lexicographic work. While there may be forms that can be considered as maverick, nevertheless, the result of the survey displays two distinct patterns on the...

From colonial legacy to embodied solidarity: The palo-palo of Batanes, at International Federation for Theatre Research (IFTR) Trans-Regional Conference 2018, University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City, Wednesday, February 21, 2018

This presentation is a preliminary discussion of the “palo palo,” a cultural performance of the Ivatan community in the Batanes group of islands in northernmost Philippines where performers strike “opponents’s” sticks to reenact a battle of two opposing camps. The first part is a descriptive narrative of the palo-palo performance. The second part is a preliminary analysis and theorization of the palo-palo’s origin by arguing that the performance could have been based on and/or inspired by the komedya, a Philippine traditional theatre form introduced by the Spaniards during colonization...

Linguistics and language studies in the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Blueprint, at Southeast Asian Studies Regional Exchange Program (SEASREP) 20th Anniversary Conference, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta, Thursday, November 5, 2015

The conscious acceptance and recognition of diversity, particularly in terms of language, of Southeast Asian nations distinguishes the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC) Blueprint. Thus, the ASEAN’s promotion of languages in the wake of reports from international and local agencies, such as the Enduring Voices Project and Ethnologue, that a significant number of the world’s languages, particularly some of the ASEAN languages, are now endangered, if not extinct, augurs well for the linguistics discipline. This paper will: (1) reiterate...

Revisiting Inonhan: A sequel to the dialectology of Inonhan in Carabao Island, Romblon, at 12th Philippine Linguistics Congress, University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City, Thursday, November 27, 2014

This paper revisits the dialectology research done on Inonhan, language spoken in Carabao Island, Romblon, the rationale of which was the claim of the residents that there existed various speech habits in the different population centres (sitios) within the locality (cf. Javier, 2012). An examination of the percentage of cognate forms showed that they were indeed dialects of the same language (no less than 80 per cent cognancy); however, the apparently erratic behaviour of probable isogloss bundles in some areas posed an...

This study aims to survey, update, and compare the development of instructional language policies in Malaysia and the Philippines, both of which had experienced being colonized, and since then have been challenged as to their capacity for rediscovering identity and sovereignty. The policies are then examined through the concepts ‘nationism’ and ‘nationalism’: through these parameters the study shall explore how the different policies have fared thus far. It will ultimately demonstrate that an ideal language policy is an integration of both the ethnic values and an...

Rebabelizing the Philippines: On the Ayta Mag-antsi language, at 7th National Social Science Congress, PSSCenter, Quezon City, Friday, May 31, 2013

Since the late 20^th century, there has been a growing concern for the “deaths/murders/suicides” of languages around the world, brought about by various pressures such as economic policies, politics, and contacts between societies. Social scientists, particularly linguists, have taken heed of this situation, and consequently, initiated the task of recording, if not resuscitating, such languages. This panel presents current researches on the linguistic situation in the Philippines, attempts being made at language revitalisation, and endeavours in...
