Acknowledging dispossession
This paper illustrates what can be revealed by a linguistic analysis of the discourse strategies deployed in a bilingual text acknowledging the dispossession of Indigenous peoples in Mindanao (Philippines). The analysis draws on systemic functional linguistics (SFL) descriptions of English, which model language as a resource for making meaning. It explores the choices involved from the perspective of critical discourse analysis (CDA), exposing la…
Linguistic variation, Philippine English and mental health issues
This article is a study of how Filipinos talk about their depression and recovery in Philippine English, as compared to how users from other Englishes talk about their experiences with the same illness. As such, this is an attempt at examining what contextual factors give rise to variations in Englishes. World Englishes research has posited that different geographical and cultural contexts engender ‘new’ Englishes; hence, different Englishes are …
Research bibliography for Philippine English (2008–2023)
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 …
Researching Philippine Englishes
This article achieves two ends. First, it surveys recent research on the English language in the Philippines, and, second, introduces the research articles from the contributors to the special issue on Philippine Englishes. The special issue is divided into five sections, namely, linguistic description, sociolinguistics, educational linguistics, critical linguistics and bilingual creativity. The diversity of these topics thus provides a direct il…
Re/construing Our World
This paper focuses on Tagalog nominal groups and the way they are used in a children's picture book narrative. Its purpose is two-fold. On the one hand it presents an analysis of Tagalog nominal group structures, proposing Function Marking, Focus, Specifier, Numerative, Epithet, Deictic, Thing and Qualifier functions. On the other hand it is concerned with the way Tagalog nominal groups are used to construe an environmentalist perspective that co…
Interpersonal grammar of Tagalog
In this paper the interpersonal grammar of Tagalog is explored from the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistics. Following a brief metafunctional profile of Tagalog grammar, a framework for interpreting the discourse function of Tagalog clauses is introduced – exchange structure. Subsequently the systems of mood, polarity, modality, tagging, vocation, comment and engagement are considered, alongside their realisation in tone, clause struct…
Teaching literature, teaching identity
This chapter examines the discourses of selected literary texts found in government-issued English Language teaching textbooks in the Philippines. Its concern is examining how textbooks draw on Literature to project, normalize, and disseminate macro-conforming identities (Mahboob, 2015) that are implicated in ‘imagining the nation’ (Anderson, 1983). Studying the discourse configurations of these texts can reveal what purpose(s) Literature fulfils…
Code-switching, Resistance, and Reflection
The status of English in the Philippines has allowed for vibrant Outer Circle (B. Kachru, 1996) creative uses of a variety. Writers of Philippine literature in English have confidently deployed the language in a rich body of literary texts portraying Philippine life, and the various realities, postcolonial or otherwise, in this context. As with other postcolonial literatures in English, there are texts that show the use of language appropriation …
