Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores the question of whether Tagalog, a language of the Philippines, is an ergative language. It is claimed that Tagalog is best characterized as neither accusative nor ergative but rather as a language that is a hybrid of these two language types. Tagalog's hybrid nature is neatly captured structurally within Principle and Parameters theory using VP internal subjects. In terms of Case, Tagalog not only has nominative-absolutive Case checking and ergative Case checking but it also makes extensive use of inherent accusative Case assignment. As a result, Tagalog has both a (NOM ACC) basic transitive sentence type, like accusative languages, and a (ERG ABS) basic transitive sentence type, like ergative languages. A specific structural analysis is given for these basic sentences under an Economy approach. This analysis is extended to account for complex sentences including sentences involving morphological causatives, conjunction reduction and raising.

This dissertation examines the syntax and argument structure of non-verbal predicates (focusing primarily on adjectives) in Tagalog. Drawing on evidence from a variety of construction types (including Comparative, Existential, and Ellipsis constructions among others), I argue against the claim that adjectives differ from verbs in their ability to project an internal theme argument (Pesetsky 1982; Borer 1984, 1991; Levin and Rappaport 1986; Baker 2003; among others). More generally, I argue that evidence about the argument structure of non-verbal predicates offers a more general argument against strong decompositional views of argument in which both external and internal arguments are 'severed' from the predicate.

Walton, Linda. "Nouns and Verbs in the Tagalog Mental Lexicon." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2012. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/3546.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this research was to study grammatical categories in the Tagalog mental lexicon using lexical decision tasks. Some linguists question whether words in Tagalog can be classified as nouns and verbs (Foley, 1998; Kaufman, 2011) because most root words can be inflected for any grammatical function and because verbs cannot be used in their uninflected form. Previous studies with English and German (Kauschke and Stenneken 2008) have shown that participants respond differently to nouns and verbs in lexical decision tasks. These studies have also shown that participants respond differently to transitive and intransitive verbs in lexical decision tasks. It was assumed that if nouns and verbs exist in Tagalog, response times to Tagalog lexical decision tasks will show similar patterns to those performed in English and German. Two experiments were performed to examine whether words are classified as nouns and verbs in the Tagalog mental lexicon and whether other factors affected that classification. For the experiments, native speakers of Tagalog participated in lexical decision tasks and response times were measured. The first experiment tested the classification of root nouns and verbs. Contrary to findings in other languages, there was no significant difference between response times to nouns and verbs. However, there were differences in response times to nouns from different semantic categories and to verbs with different morphosyntactic structures. The second experiment examined the classification of inflected nouns and verbs. Again, the results showed no difference between response times to nouns and verbs. There was also no difference between transitive and intransitive verbs. However, there was a slight difference between verbs of different voice inflections. The results of the experiments suggest the while the grammatical classes of nouns and verbs may not be the most important features of words in the Tagalog mental lexicon, they may still play a role since different features, semantics or morphosyntactics, did affect the responses to words from the different categories.

Lim, Rachelle Kay. "Nonlinear phonological analysis in assessment of phonological development in Tagalog." Thesis, University of British Columbia, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/50593.
Full textAbstract:
Nonlinear phonological theories emphasize a hierarchical and multi-tiered representation, which describe all aspects of a phonological system. In terms of clinical application, a client's system-wide strengths and needs can be evaluated, and, where necessary, addressed through intervention (Bernhardt, 1992). The population of Tagalog-speaking individuals outside the Philippines is increasing, yet research regarding the language is limited, placing clinicians in a difficult situation during the assessment and treatment of Tagalog-speaking children.
This paper aims to bridge the gap by creating a Nonlinear Phonological Scan Analysis (Tagalog) in conjunction with a Tagalog word list, in order to allow clinicians to evaluate a child’s phonological system. The full Tagalog word list (109 words) consists of three separate sets, each containing words with different characteristics (e.g., Extension A contains multisyllabic words, Extension B includes mainly disyllabic words). In order to evaluate the word sets and analysis method, the word list was administered to a 4-year-old child who primarily speaks Tagalog in a picture-naming activity on the computer. The same list was administered to the child’s mother, whose pronunciations then served as the adult targets for analysis. The child’s productions were recorded, transcribed and analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively using the Scan Analysis (Tagalog), which was adapted from the English version (Bernhardt & Stemberger, 2000).
Data collected from the child exhibited some similarities and differences in terms of expected patterns from both monolinguals and bilinguals. The child showed evidence of typical development due to the high matches for different evaluations of prosodic structure (e.g. word length, word shape). On the other hand, he exhibited difficulties with whole word, word stress and vowel matches, /r/ and clusters involving /r, l/. Difficulties were suggested to be a result of the child’s Tagalog-English bilingual environment or because of the balance of the word list in terms of /r/ targets, a phoneme which he had not yet mastered.
This paper provide some initial steps toward understanding phonological development of typically developing Tagalog-speaking children in a bilingual context outside the Philippines, and by extension, as a basis for future research with children with typical and protracted phonological development.Medicine, Faculty of

Guevara, Jed Sam Pizarro. "The acquisition of relative clauses in Tagalog| A comprehension study." Thesis, California State University, Long Beach, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=1527947.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyzed relative clause (RC) comprehension in Tagalog. Results from a reference selection task revealed that the children's accuracy was already comparable to adults by 7 to 9 years of age when processing agent RCs. These findings are consistent with the literature. However, when reaction times (RTs) and error-types are considered, a different picture of the trajectory of acquisition emerges. The children's RTs did not pattern like adults until 10 to 14 years of age. They also avoided reversal-errors as consistently as adults only at 10 to 14 years of age. With regard to non-agent RCs, the RT of children, ages 10 to 14, already patterned like adults but their accuracy still remained significantly different. Children also avoided agent-errors as consistently like adults only at 10 to 14 years of age. Overall, these results suggest a more piecemeal trajectory of the development of RCs in Tagalog.

Full textAbstract:
There has been limited research done in the Philippines in the area of aphasia, a frequent concomitant symptom of strokes and presents as impairment in any area of the input and output of language. Diagnosis is generally conducted by clinicians based on sites of lesion of speakers with aphasia and clinical observations of language symptoms and unpublished translation of the WAB. The lack of relevant research and formal assessment tools in the Philippines motivated this current study. The development of this type of assessment battery for the Tagalog (pronounced /təˈɡɑːlɒɡ/ in English) speaking population will provide a means for differential diagnosis of acquired neurogenic communication disorders. The goal of this study is to develop a Tagalog version of the Western Aphasia Battery – Revised (WAB-R; Kertesz, 2006). The WAB-R was chosen as the basis for the development of the T-WAB-R due to the researched, validated and standardized nature of the battery for use with assessing the severity and type of aphasia through score profiles. This battery provides clinicians with a comprehensive evaluation of language skills in English and is projected to do the same in Tagalog. Given the lack of normative data on the Tagalog speaking population on this test, the current study establishes the normative data of the T-WAB-R from native speakers of Tagalog, encompassing external factors of gender (e.g. male and female) and stratified into three age groups (e.g., 20-39; 40-60; 61+ years old). A full-scale development of the battery will provide a means for differential diagnosis of acquired neurogenic communication disorders in the Tagalog-speaking population.ID: 031001504; System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader.; Mode of access: World Wide Web.; Adviser: Anthony Kong.; Title from PDF title page (viewed July 26, 2013).; Thesis (M.A.)--University of Central Florida, 2012.; Includes bibliographical references (p. 66-72).

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Linguistics and Philosophy, 2002.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 137-141).
This thesis examines the syntax of Tagalog with a particular focus on argument structure and its implications for clause structure. Through cross-linguistic comparison I show that Tagalog syntax is not as exotic as is often assumed and that it can be straightforwardly accounted for using available syntactic tools, primarily the theory of phases and Agree of Chomsky (1999, 2001). This study shows that there is no need to appeal to new parameter settings or newcomponents of the grammar in order to account for the syntactic behavior of Tagalog (cf. Sells 1998, Speas 1998, Carrier-Duncan 1985, Kroeger 1993). In this work I show that, contrary to widespread assumptions, the voice system of Tagalog does not reflect the thematic role of the subject argument. Instead, returning to the insight of Ramos 1974, I argue that voice morphology on the verb reflects the case that the subject argument receives in its base position. I also argue that the specificity properties of subjects and objects in Tagalog resemble those motivating object shift in Germanic languages; therefore, I conclude that Tagalog instantiates a system of generalized 'argument shift'. I show that the shift of specific arguments to the edge of the phase is strictly constrained by locality The analysis of voice and locality-constrained shift relies on a detailed study of argument positions in Tagalog. Using tests for hierarchical structure such as reflexive and pronominal variable binding, I examine the structural relations among external arguments, applicative arguments, direct objects, and adjuncts and show them to be in accordance with what is known about structural argument asymmetries cross-linguistically.

Jurilla, Patricia May Bantug. "Tagalog bestsellers and the history of the book in the Philippines." Thesis, SOAS, University of London, 2006. http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/28810/.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis is a study on the history of the book in the Philippines with a focus on literary publishing and Filipino literary bestsellers of the twentieth century. It begins with a survey on the publishing of books in the Philippines from 1593 when the first book was printed in the country to 2003 when the first nationwide study on reading attitudes and preferences was conducted. The survey pays special attention to literary forms and texts that have played a significant role in the development of Philippine culture and history. It is followed by an examination of literary publishing in the Philippines, in which the local bestselling literary forms of the twentieth century are identified. These types of literary texts are subsequently taken up in case studies that explore the publishing, manufacturing, distribution, reception, and survival of the bestselling books and their relation to the conditions and circumstances in Philippine culture, society, politics, and economics during their time. The case studies, which are centred on specific publishers who were particularly successful in producing the literary bestsellers, are on Tagalog metrical romances (in awit and corrido forms) published by Juan Martinez during the 1900s to the 1920s; on Tagalog novels published by Palimbagang Tagumpay (Victory Publishing) under the Aliwan (Entertainment) series from 1945 to 1947; on the comic books (komiks) series published by the group of companies owned by Ramon Roces from the late 1940s to the mid-1980s; and on Filipino romance novels published by Books for Pleasure and by Precious Pages Corporation from 1985 to 2000. This thesis seeks to introduce the History of the Book to Philippine scholarship, where the discipline is still a largely unexplored if not totally unheard of area of study.

Taylor, Brandon Brian. "Development of Psychometrically Equivalent Speech Audiometry Materials for Measuring Speech Recognition Thresholds in Native Tagalog Speakers." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2012. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/3348.
Full textAbstract:
In addition to the use of pure-tones for testing hearing, speech signals are highly valuable diagnostic tools for identifying and evaluating hearing impairment. Speech audiometry involves the implementation of such signals in the measurement of hearing acuity. One aspect of speech audiometry involves assessment of the speech recognition threshold (SRT) which evaluates an individual's ability to hear and understand speech. While live speech has been used in the past to assess SRT, recorded materials are preferred and have been shown to be advantageous over live speech. High-quality digitally recorded speech audiometry materials have been available in English for some time, but assessment of individuals using speech materials from a language that they do not speak natively has been shown to be both inadequate and inaccurate. Speech audiometry materials have recently become available in many languages. Currently, however, there are no known published recordings for assessment of SRT in the Tagalog language. The goal of this study was to develop psychometrically equivalent speech audiometry materials for measuring speech recognition threshold in Tagalog. During this study Tagalog words were initially recorded by a native speaker selected for accent and vocal quality. The words were reduced down to 90 words to be evaluated in the study. Each of the 90 trisyllabic words were evaluated at 2 dB increments from -10 to 16 dB HL by 20 native Tagalog speakers, all having normal hearing. Based on the results, 34 trisyllabic Tagalog words were selected based on their familiarity to native listeners, relative homogeneity with regards to audibility and psychometric function slope. Each word was then adjusted to make the 50% performance threshold equal to the mean PTA of the 20 research participants (4.3 dB HL). The final edited words were then digitally recorded onto compact disc for distribution and for use in assessing SRT in native Tagalog speakers worldwide.

The thesis L’ús dels clítics pronominals del català i la seva adquisició per parlants de romanès i de tagal [The use of pronominal clitics in Catalan and their acquisition by Romanian and Tagalog speakers] analyzes the mechanisms of transfer from the L1 in the process of acquisition of Catalan (L2) in two groups of learners, one of which has Romanian and the other Tagalog as their native language. Our study lends support to the idea of transfer from the L1 to a second language in general, and, in particular, within the process of acquisition
of pronominal clitics from a Romance language (Catalan). The results show that the differences between the two groups are statistically significant and are attributable to the characteristics of the L1. Moreover, starting from a detailed description of the grammar of pronominal clitics in the three languages involved, we define the specific grammatical aspects of the Tagalog and Romanian languages that can have an influence on certain productions and on certain errors in the use of pronominal clitics in Catalan, within the process of acquisition of
this Romance language as L2. In the theoretical domain, we started from studies on functional markedness to determine four reference terms that allowed us to carry out a systematized study of the difficulties in acquisition of the use of Catalan clitic pronouns according to their complexity and their degree of grammaticalization.La tesi L’ús dels clítics pronominals del català i la seva adquisició per parlants de romanès i de tagal analitza els mecanismes de transferència de la L1 en el procés d’adquisició del català (L2) en dos grups d’aprenents que tenen un el romanès i l’altre el tagal com a llengües maternes. El nostre estudi dóna suport a la idea de la transferència de la L1 a una segona llengua en general, i, en particular, dins del procés d’adquisició dels clítics pronominals d’una llengua romànica (el català). Els resultats mostren que les diferències entre els dos grups són estadísticament significatives i poden ser atribuïdes a les característiques de la L1. A més, a partir d’una descripció detallada de la gramàtica dels clítics pronominals en les tres llengües implicades, definim els aspectes gramaticals concrets de les llengües tagala i romanesa que poden influir en certes produccions i en certs errors en l’ús dels clítics pronominals del català, dins del procés d’adquisició d’aquesta llengua romànica com a L2. En l’àmbit teòric, hem partit d’estudis sobre marcatge funcional per determinar quatre termes de referència que ens permeten un estudi sistematitzat de les dificultats d’adquisició de l’ús dels pronoms clítics catalans en funció de la seva complexitat i del seu grau de gramaticalització.

Smart-phone applications that help users learn languages are quickly taking over the language learning market due to their convenience and accessibility. It is estimated that the mobile share of the language-acquisition market should climb 73 percent to around 14.5 billion by 2019 (Reuters, 2015). However, none of the applications currently available are immersive or have multi-user features. Immersive learning and tandem learning has been shown to have many benefits. TagAlong RolePlay is a low cost multiuser VR platform that was created to incorporate this type of learning. Furthermore, TagAlong RolePlay has an authoring tool that allows teachers to create various virtual language-learning environments and tasks. This allows a teacher to create tasks specific to the student's needs. For example, a student trying to learn English to become a doctor in the US will need to learn the words pertaining to the medical world. The robust and flexible TagAlong RolePlay platform creates a more superior efficient and engaging learning experience.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the challenges faced by the ministers of religion in Churches of Christ (Restoration Movement) in Bicol, Philippines. The goal is to do theology from below, not from above, as pastoral ministry must come from the experience of those who practice it, not from textbooks. The pastoral perspectives of the dilemmas that the ministers raise are heard, observed, documented, and then reflected upon. To do this, case studies of four preachers are used and the mga problema that they present are explored with them. As a result, first, I introduce some of those challenges which are perplexing on the ground level and which appear to be under-researched in serious theological circles, especially in an Asian context. Second, I hope that these case studies can be used to stimulate reflection in ministerial and spiritual formation. Third, I document some of the theology and methodology of the Churches of Christ, particularly as practiced in the Philippines. Chapter 1 explores the dichotomy between the perceived satisfaction in the pastoral ministry with the crisis of role and identity. In particular, issues such as forced exits and stress are presented while baptism and preaching are scrutinized. Chapter 2 centres on the conundrums experienced in planting a new church and being the lone planter. Chapter 3 examines three challenges–the task of ministering in a home congregation, the issue of accreditation in ministerial training, and how the minister can be a success and grow the church. Never far from the thoughts and actions of any of the Bicolano ministers is the problema of poverty, so Chapter 4 considers some of the Filipino, personal, and spiritual complexities of poverty, delineates a number of factors that need to be taken into consideration in any effort to overcome this malady and concludes with a particular reference to ministry.

This thesis tried to answer: how the transformation of Philippine national language, from basing only on Tagalog toward a language basing on all Philippine languages and foreign languages, which is called “Filipino,” represents the shift of Filipinos’ language ideologies, and how the shift as well as its results reflects the problem of Philippine nationalism. By applying Woolard’s concepts, the thesis argued that the transformation from Tagalog to Filipino reflects the revision of language ideology of Philippine nationalist elites, from the ideology of authenticity toward anonymity. The reasons for this shift are: the rejection from other ethnics and the formation of English-Pilipino bilingual policy. The former deprived Pilipino of its national language status, while the latter expand its usage in actual. By the time of 1986 Constitutional Commission, in order to maintain the basis that Tagalog had achieved, and to prevent resist from other ethnics, the Tagalista continued to use the term “Filipino,” eliminated its Tagalog root in their discourses, and enlarged its development basis in the law, legitimizing the use of “Filipino” with the discourse of anonymity and refuting the challenge by other ethnic groups. The ideology of authenticity didn’t get discarded, but was instead maintained to resist the influence of English. By applying the ideologies of authenticity and anonymity in a complex way, the Tagalista successfully strived for a room for Filipino between English and vernaculars, but its Tagalog nuclear is continuingly revealed and challenged by other ethnic groups.

Researchers have examined recent development on language learning, in which such researches can be applied to reading abilities and phonological awareness of L2.The influences of these elements can be seen on the efficiency of SLA. An investigation probes into the achievement of the interaction between Tagalog speakers’ production and perception by means of phonological awareness and perceptual assimilation model (PAM)-L2. We compare the results of phonological awareness with new immigrants’ children (second generation in Taiwan), and they are close to elementary students’ performances. Perceptual Assimilation Model explains how Tagalog speakers assimilate nonnative contrasts (Mandarin segments) into given L1 categories. The results reveal that all the Mandarin segments could be fit into these four classifications by PAM-L2. There are four classifications: Two Category, Single Category, Category Goodness and Non-assimilated. The vowels of /a, i, u, f/ belong to Two Category, because they can find one by one matching in both native and target languages. As for SC type, Tagalog speakers chose /t/ for substituting Mandarin [t,tH], but none of them is a better fit for /t/. In CG type, /p/ for [p, pH] and /k/ for [k, kH] are under this circumstances. However, [p] is the better fit for /p/; but for /k/, [kH] is the better fit for Tagalog speakers. For the last category, some of specific phones like /y, , / are hard to achieve correct pronunciation but well-recognized belong to non-assimilated category. To conclude, this research may be of importance in starting to understand the phonological development of Tagalog natives in Mandarin learning and the difficulties for Tagalog speakers to perceive or produce. The process of learning a nonnative language to both children and adults can be similar. (syllable awareness> rhyming> phoneme awareness.) The PAM-L2 model can adequately explain how Tagalog natives have perceived Mandarin segments. This study will help in providing teaching strategies with a better understanding of Tagalog speakers in the future.

Full textAbstract:
abstract: The following dissertation provides perspectives on the social, political, economic, and academic influences on language use, and particularly heritage language use, within the Filipino American community. What is the nature of language in this community? In what ways does language exist or co-exist? The hypothesis that autochthonous Filipino languages in the United States cease to be spoken in favor of English by Filipino Americans was tested through mixed methods of research. Literature and databases were reviewed which provided information concerning statistics, issues, and policies relating to language in Filipino America. Field research and interviews were conducted in which language use was of key interest. Results varied individually and contextually. Language seems to exist within the Filipino American community on a dynamic continuum. Immigrant Filipino Americans appear to be bilingual and multilingual. Second generation Filipino Americans tend to be English dominant with a range of bilingualism. The California Department of Education (CDOE) appears to foster bilingualism / multilingualism through its World Languages Departments (secondary education level), by offering language courses, such as Tagalog-based Filipino. Efforts to maintain non-English, Filipino languages in Arizona are less conspicuous, but they do exist primarily in familial and entrepreneurial ways.Dissertation/Thesis

The colonization and differentiation of mangrove species are noticeably affected by geographic histories. The Indo-West Pacific (IWP) is the region that contains the most abundant and specious mangrove assemblages. The population of Ceriops tagal endemic in Southeast Asia, like that of many other mangrove species, was structured by the isolation of present Malay Peninsula and ancient Sundaland. I used maternally inherited chloroplast DNA, with which the effects of pollen dispersal could be excluded, to retrace the phylogeographic relationships among populations and dispersal route of propagules of C. tagal. In this dissertation, the Malay Peninsula was demonstrated to effectively isolate the gene flow of populations of C. tagal between the South China Sea (SCS) and the Bay of Bengal (BOB). During the glacials, the emergence of the Sunda Shelf connected the Borneo and the Malay Peninsula, forming a strict barrier named Sundaland. This caused populations within the SCS sharing common ancestral genotypes, and so was the situation in populations of the BOB water mass. The Gulf of Thailand (GOT) began to take shape 21 thousand years ago, and mangroves therefore started to retreat (or expand) to the coasts of the GOT. While populations in the GOT had frequent gene flow due to the tides and seashore currents, the independent demographic dynamics of each local population structured the whole GOT population. The closed gulf maintains the stable historical demography of whole GOT population and thus forms a classical metapopulation. The Kra Isthmus, the narrowest part of the Malay Peninsula, had been submerged under sea level before ca. 5 Mya, and this might lead to unhindered gene flow of mangroves between the SCS and the BOB. The divergent time of the SCS and BOB populations based on strict molecular clock is slightly underestimated when compared with the formation time of the Kra Isthmus. The long distance dispersal between the SCS and the BOB may be the cause of the underestimation of molecular clock. The most likely route for long distance dispersal across the land barrier is that via the Malacca Strait. The high gene flow between populations in the South Malay Peninsula and other areas in the past estimated by the coalescent-method provides an indirect evidence of Malacca Strait as the gate of dispersal. The isolation of populations in the two water masses during the glacials and the acceleration of gene flow due to sea-level rise during the interglacials might cause the high genetic diversity of mangroves in the IWP now. Moreover, while the periodic expansion and contraction of the SCS due to the sink and emergence of the Sundaland caused population expansion in the SCS, this situation never happened in the BOB, and population there maintained demographically stable. The population in the SCS may expand through colonization instead of local population growth because only few local populations were detected to expand. Thus, for conservation application, I suggest that the coasts of the Southeast Asia should be protected in order to provide steppingstone for the dispersal of mangroves.
