“…In his survey of nine Philippine languages, Llamzon (1969) identified similar phoneme inventories in Cebuano (Ce), Hiligaynon (Hi), Waray (Wa), and Bicol (Bi): 3 vowels /a, i, u/; 14 consonants /p, t, k, b, d, g, h, q, m, n, ng, s, l, r/; 2 semivowels /w, y/; a phoneme of length /:/; and at least one phoneme stress /'/. Tagalog (T) has identical consonants and semivowels, but its vowels are /a, e, i, o, u/.…”

This research sought to examine the Southern Sorsogon (Sso) dialect's distinctive phonetic features in Bulan, Philippines. In the urban and rural communities of Bulan in the province of Sorsogon, six native speakers were specifically selected based on the selection criteria. The qualitative text analysis approach used in this study was based on the transcripts of in-person interviews and other contacts between the researchers and native speakers. The Sso dialect's segmental sounds and phonological characteristics were examined to unravel its phonetic characteristics. The results showed that there were four vowels with unique vowel lengths [a], [i], [u], [ʊ], fourteen consonants [b], [p], [m], [d], [t], [s], [n], [r], [l], [g], [k], [ŋ], [ʔ], [h], and two semiconsonants [w], [y]. Sounds like voiced alveolar-fricative [z], labiodental [v], [f], interdental [ð], [θ], palatal-fricative [Ʒ], [ƒ], post alveolar fricative consonant [sh], and palatal-affricate [ʤ], [tʃ] were non-existent in the Sso dialect. Other features detected were the gliding consonants, the widespread use of /r/ for further plurality, the suffix /-on/ for comparative, superlative, or exaggerations, and lexical variations for emphatic expressions and even angry registers. Although this study contributes to the documentation, preservation, and enrichment of the Sso dialect for its future in machine translation, further investigations are recommended to confirm the findings.

“…the United States). It also hopes to contribute to our understanding of internal variation in Twitter-style PhE and PhE in general, which has often been thought to be negligible, if not non-existent (Llamzon 1997;Lee & Borlongan 2022). Finally, from a methodological perspective, the article also hopes to (i) normalize the inclusion of language-external variables in variationist analyses in the region; (ii) popularize the use of social media data for linguistic analyses; and (iii) encourage the use of state-of-the-art machine learning techniques (e.g.…”

When to (not) split the infinitive: factors governing patterns of syntactic variation in Twitter-style Philippine English

The variability of adverbial placement in the modified infinitive construction (i.e. split infinitives vs. full infinitives with adverbial pre- and post-modification) has been widely discussed in the (American English) literature. Yet a convincing generalized explanation for the variation that simultaneously incorporates language-internal and language-external factors has yet to be found, particularly in English varieties that have not received as much scholarly attention as standardized varieties. This article investigates modified infinitive syntactic variation in Twitter-style Philippine English (PhE) using a 135-million-word Twitter corpus. It adopts a Bayesian approach in conducting a multiple multinomial regression analysis of the said variation, with the help of Deep-Learning-based demographic inference tools. Although the conditioning effects of some factors diverge from patterns discussed in prior work, the results generally show that language-internal (e.g. stress and rhythm, adverb type, adverb length) and language-external factors (i.e. time, age, sex, geography) jointly shape the choice to split the infinitive in this linguistic style of PhE.
