“…20 Topicalization or focus is a system of laying emphasis on a noun or nominal in a clause. In his essay, Ridruejo (2007) says that the missionaries made use of three grammatical devices to show the focus of a sentence: (a) the nominal/pronominal cases, (b) the verbal voices, and (c) markers that somehow correspond to the Latin and Spanish inflections. 21 made an excellent study on ligatures as the missionaries painstakingly categorized and classified them in eleven 17 th century grammars of Philippine languages which, because of their typological similarities, would exhibit stark commonalities as regards this functional morpheme (which does not exist in Latin or Spanish).…”

At the end of the three centuries of Spanish presence in the archipelago, Spanish missionaries had written at least 120 grammars of the native languages spoken in the Philippines. With the wide linguistic diversity they found and the need to transmit the faith in all its purity, the missionary grammarians began analyzing the languages and wrote pedagogical grammars for their confreres to learn them. Initially, only the major languages were studied and learned, using Spanish and Latin models, but eventually minor languages were also added. This study examines eleven representative grammars to determine their general characteristics and, in the process, bring to light some of their authors’ contributions to the history of grammar writing and linguistics in the Philippines. A significant finding is that the linguistic pursuits undertaken in describing the languages and preparing their grammars throughout the entire Spanish colonial period, while being in synch and continuous with the development of modern linguistics in the 17th to the 19th centuries, advanced the scientific study of languages in the country as well as grammar writing involving the native languages.

“…The reason to split the topic of 'morphosyntax' into two was justified since we followed the traditional divisions found in the grammars under study. However, the two topics were published together in one volume (Zwartjes, James & Ridruejo 2007) 31 with studies on the morphosyntax of several languages, such as Massachusett (Swiggers 2007), Tarascan (Monzón 2007), Conivo-Sipibo (Christino 2007), Philippine languages (García-Medall 2007, Ridruejo 2007band Sueiro 2007, Tamil (James 2007), Southern Mĭn Chinese (Hokkien) (Klöter 2007) (2002) and UNAM (1998) respectively. Hervás y Panduro's methodology in describing morphosyntactic features in exotic languages is analysed in BrevaClaramonte (1999b).…”

SummaryThere is no need to repeat earlier complaints that the historiography of missionary linguistics was being neglected, since the situation has changed considerably sine the last decades of the past century. The first decade of the 21st century in particular has witnessed a veritable explosion of research activities. This article surveys the state of the art in the field of recent work in the historiographical subfield called ‘Missionary linguistics’, covering the period 2002–2012. It represents an update of Zimmermann (2004) and provides separate sections devoted to earlier studies of missionary linguistics, international conferences, published volumes, journals, reprints and editions of primary sources, exhibitions and other activities related to the subject. The reference list is divided in two sections, (1) primary sources, with some 140 entries, and (2) secondary sources, including more than 300 titles. It is hoped that this account will suggest several additional research topics and inspire scholars to make further advances in this fascinating field of research.
