In line with the UP Department of Linguistics Philippine Indigenous Languages Lecture Series (PILLS) 2019, I gave a talk on the three construction types–existential, possessive, and locative– in Porohanon (ISO 639-3 prh), a Bisayan variety spoken in the Camotes islands, Cebu. These constructions have been traditionally viewed as structurally and conceptually-related to each other.
The event was promoted on the UP Dept. of Linguistics Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/UPLinguistics/posts/2376755135710623.
I was invited by the UP Samahang Linggwistika (UP SALIN), our Department's official student organization, to serve as guest speaker in their Alternative Classroom Learning Experience (ACLE) on current language issues in the Philippines. I was joined by Mr. Earvin Christian Pelagio of the Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino as resource person and Mr. Venson Villareal of the UP Dept. of Linguistics as moderator.
