Linguistic Society of the Philippines Virtual Talk Session: Thesis Sharing Session Online (TheSSO)
This talk contains some addenda to my master's thesis A Grammatical Sketch of Porohanon which sought "describe the phonetic, phonological, and morphosyntactic structures of Porohanon, a Bisayan language spoken in the Municipality of Poro, Camotes Islands, Cebu, Philippines." (Santiago, 2023). As they say, a good thesis is a finished one, and so I was not able to give more than a passing treatment to the rich set of discourse particles and the clause combining strategies of Porohanon due to time constraints. This presentation aims to gesture toward a full reference grammar treatment of the language, beginning with filling in these particular gaps in the description.
