“…It may be written as two words, as a single word, or as two or more words separated by a hyphen. Lexicologists like [30]- [32] suggest three kinds of compounds: the endocentric compound, which has a transparent meaning carried by the head; the exocentric compound with an unexpressed semantic head, hence idiomatic; the synthetic compound which involves compounding and derivation; and the neoclassical compound which is a mixture of classical and English elements.…”

“…As advanced by the German linguist [36], it is a modern type of word formation. The theorist [30], proposes that most blends are formed by: i) adding the beginning of one word to the end of another; ii) combining the beginnings of two words; iii) blending two words' typical sequence of sounds; and iv) blending multiple sounds of two-component words.…”

<span lang="EN-US">This paper is a study of English as a second language (ESL) teachers’ and students’ newly coined Facebook (FB) lexical items and expressions. It presents sample FB Philippine English (PhilE) words found in ESL teachers’ and students’ FB posts and messages and the formation mechanisms evident in the lexical items. The lexical items are culled from the researchers-built 50,000-word corpus of FB and FB Messenger conversations posted and sent by the mentioned texts’ contributors from the last quarter of 2016 to 2022. The PhilE neologisms are identified from their surrounding English lexical items and analyzed based on a proposed framework for PhilE word-formation processes, and ESL Englishes well-motivated innovations and criteria in standardizing its usages. Data analysis reveals over a hundred PhilE lexical items that are coined through the analytical frameworks used with the present paper’s additional proposed processes for FB lexical formation, hypocoristic extension, and anagrammatic transposition or backward spelling. The lexical items, in general, are colloquial, marking the informality of the FB PhilE register, although written in English. In terms of lexicon, it is advanced that FB English in the country is a variety of Internet PhilE, which should be taught in Sociolinguistics and ESL classrooms.</span>

“…Lexical features arising from the historical and contemporary contact ecologies between English and indigenous languages have always been a fruitful area within the paradigm of world Englishes (Baumgardner, 1998; Biermeier, 2014, 2017; Cannon, 1988; Chan & Kwok, 1985; Dako, 2001; Tan, 2009; Tent, 2001; Yang, 2009). Commonly delineated structural features of varietal lexis encompass chronology, etymology, semantics, grammar and word‐formation (Biermeier, 2008; Cannon, 1988; Evans, 2015; Moody, 1996; Qin & Guo, 2020; Tent, 2001; Yang, 2005, 2009).…”

The study approaches the currency of Chinese English lexis from two perspectives. First, it creates a linguistic profile of 408 high‐frequency Chinese English terms extracted from the Chinese English Dictionary (CED) corpus by conducting a systematic coding and a statistical calculation of their linguistic features and by comparing the quantitative results with numerical distributions in the extant literature. Second, it evaluates the currency of 3484 Chinese English words in CED against six established corpora of world Englishes in GloWbE and ICE by calculating their frequency statistics in these six corpora and re‐evaluates the suitability of GloWbE and ICE for lexical variation by comparing the quantitatively different results generated by the two corpora. Findings of the study cast light on the tendencies of the linguistic behavior of the well‐assimilated Chinese English items and on the nature and feature of the variety data in GloWbE and ICE in the world Englishes scenario.

The research bibliography presented here is intended to complement the earlier research bibliographies from Bautista on Philippine English (Bautista, 2004; Bautista & Bolton, 2008a). It includes 11 sections dealing with book‐length studies of Philippine English, as well as book chapters and journal articles on such topics as code‐switching, code‐mixing and linguistic hybridization; critical linguistics; discourse analysis; language attitudes and intelligibility; sociolinguistic description; language policies; multilingualism and multilingual education; Philippine literature in English; Philippine English features; and summative perspectives. While the bibliography is essentially contemporary in orientation, this article also emphasizes the foundational contributions of earlier scholars in the field.
