Pandaigdigang Kumperensiya Sa Nanganganib Na Wika KATITIKAN PROCEEDINGS PANDAIGDIGANG KUMPERENSIYA SA NANGANGANIB NA WIKA International Conference on Language Endangerment National Museum of Natural History, Maynila, Filipinas 10˗12 Oktubre 2108 KATITIKAN PROCEEDINGS 1 KATITIKAN PROCEEDINGS Tungkol sa Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino Ang Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF) ay ahensiya ng pamahalaan na may mandatong magbalangkas ng mga patakaran, mga plano, at mga programa upang matiyak ang higit pang pagpapaunlad, pagpapayaman, pagpapalaganap, at preserbasyon ng Filipino at iba pang wika ng Filipinas. Naitatag sa pamamagitan ng Batas Republika Blg. 7104. MISYON Itaguyod ang patuloy na pag-unlad at paggamit ng Filipino bilang wikang pambansa habang pinangangalagaan ang mga wikang katutubo sa Filipinas tungo sa pagkakaunawaan, pagkakaisa, at kaunlaran ng sambayanang Filipino. BISYON Filipino: Wika ng Dangal at Kaunlaran 2 KATITIKAN PROCEEDINGS Tungkol sa Pandaigdigang Kumperensiya sa Nanganganib na Wika Ito ay tatlong araw na kumperensiya na tatalakay sa iba’t ibang isyu na may kaugnayan sa nanganganib na mga wika tulad ng isyu sa dokumentasyong pangwika, field methods, teknolohiya at dokumentasyong pangwika, praktika sa dokumentasyon at deskripsiyon, mga prinsipyo sa pagsusuring lingguwistiko, at batayang kaalaman sa pananaliksik pangwika. Mag-aanyaya ng mga eksperto mula sa ibang bansa at sa Filipinas na maglalahad ng kanilang mga pag-aaral, proyekto at gawain hinggil sa nanganganib na wika. Ang kumperensiyang ito ang magsisilbing panimulang gawain sa pagbuo ng plano/adyenda hinggil sa mga nanganganib na wika ng Filipinas. Magsisilbi rin itong introduksiyon o pagsasakonteksto ng pagsasagawa ng field work, pagkuha ng field notes, documentary corpus, metadocumentation, at mga kaugnay na gawaing mahalaga sa dokumentasyon ng mga nanganganib na wika. LAYUNIN 1. Pagsama-samahin ang mga prominenteng iskolar sa pananaliksik ukol sa iba’t ibang aspekto ng nanganganib na wika, dokumentasyon, at revitalization. 2. Mailahad ang mga karanasan at pinakamahusay na paraan sa pananaliksik at pagbuo ng programa; matalakay ang iba’t ibang isyu na nakaaapekto sa mga wika. 3. Makabuo ng plano para sa pagtataguyod ng kongkretong proyekto tungkol sa mga nanganganib na wika ng Filipinas. INAASAHANG MATAMO 1. Mailathala ang mga papel ng mga tagapanayam. 2. Makabuo ng pambansang adyenda para sa pangangalaga ng mga wika sa Filipinas. 3 KATITIKAN PROCEEDINGS MENSAHE Virgilio S. Almario Pambansang Alagad ng Sining Tagapangulo Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino Pambansang Komisyon para sa Kultura at mga Sining Malinaw ang atas ng Batas Republika Blg. 7104 sa Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF) na magbalangkas ng mga patakaran, mga plano, at mga programa upang matiyak ang higit pang pagpapaunlad, pagpapayaman, pagpapalaganap, at preserbasyon ng Filipino at iba pang wika ng Filipinas. Sinisikap tuparin ng kasalukuyang pamunuan ng KWF ang nabanggit na mandato sa pamamagitan ng KWF Medyo Matagalang Plano 2017–2020 na nagtitiyak sa pagpapaigting at pagpapalawig ng saliksik sa wikang Filipino, mga wika ng Filipinas, at sa ibá’t ibáng disiplina. Malinaw ding nakalatag sa Pambansang Adyenda sa Saliksik Pangwika at Pangkultura ang pagtataguyod ng saliksik sa wika/lingguwistika partikular na ang pagsasaalang-alang sa mga konsepto at pananaw ng singkronikong pagsusuri, diyakronikong pananaw, mutabilidad (kakayahang magbago), at mga sosyo-sikolingguwistikang penomena tulad ng katapatan sa wika (language loyalty), kawalang katiyakan ng pag-iral ng wika (language endangerment), at pagkamatay ng wika (linguicide). Ang Pandaigdigang Kumperensiya sa Nanganganib na Wika (International Conference on Language Endangerment) ay isang hakbang ng (KWF) bilang paghahanda sa 2019 bilang Taon ng mga Katutubong Wika. Nag-imbita kami ng mga ekspertong banyaga bílang isang paraan ng pagpapasok ng mga kaalaman at kasanayan hinggil sa pangangalaga ng mga wika. Sa ating bansa ay hindi pa gaanong malawak ang mga pag-aaral at programa para sa mga nanganganib na wika. Ito na ang panahon upang simulan ang panghihikayat sa ibá’t ibáng organisasyon at institusyon ng pamahalaan na pagtuonan ito ng pansin. May 130 wikang katutubo ang Filipinas. Ang ilan sa mga ito ay nanganganib nang mawala. Kung ipagwawalangbahala lamang ang pagkawala ng wika ay katumbas ito ng pagpapabaya sa yaman ng bansa. Kayâ kailangan natin ng sáma-sámang pagkilos at pagtugon upang mapanatili ang ating mga katutubong wika. 4 KATITIKAN PROCEEDINGS MENSAHE Loren Legarda Senador Republika ng Filipinas Nakamamangha kung paano napanatiling buháy at matatag ng iba’t ibang pangkat etniko sa bansa ang kani-kanilang wika at ugnayang kultural sa kabila ng katotohanang dumaan ito sa napakahabang yugto ng pananakop. Gayunman, hindi maikakailang maraming wika ng minoryang pangkat sa buong kapuluan ang patuloy na lumiliit ang bilang ng mga tagapagsalita. Hindi natin dapat hayaang magpatuloy ito. Kailangang magpamalas ng sigasig ang iba’t ibang ahensiya ng pamahalaan, pribadong sektor, akademya, mga samahang sibiko, at iba pang organisasyon upang matiyak na ligtas at masigla ang linguistic ecosystem sa bansa. Ang ginagawa natin ngayong Pandaigdigang Kumperensiya sa Nanganganib na Wika ay pagpapamalas ng matibay na gulugod para sa Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF) bilang pangunahing ahensiyang may eksklusibong mandato upang itaguyod ang preserbasyon ng mga wika sa buong kapuluan. Ang wika ay isang napakahalagang sangkap ng ating pagkatao hindi lamang bilang instrumento ng ugnayan kundi bilang pangunahing tagapamansag ng kultura at ayon kay Dr. Zeus F. Salazar (1996): “Ang kultura ay kabuoan ng isip, gawi, damdamin, kaalaman at karanasan na nagtatakda ng maangking kakanyahan ng isang pangkat ng tao. Ang wika ay hindi lamang daluyan kundi higit pa rito, tagapagpahayag at impukan-kuhanan ng alinmang kultura. Walang kulturang hindi dala ng isang wika, na bilang sanligan at kaluluwa, ay siyang bumubuo, humuhubog at nagbibigay diwa sa kulturang ito.” Hindi na dapat pagtalunan pa kung bakit mahalagang mapreserba ang mga wika ng bawat bansa sa mundo sapagkat ang pagkawala ng mga ito ay nagangahulugan rin ng pagkamatay ng maangking kakanyahan ng mga taong gumagamit nito. Ayon sa United Nations, ang mga wika ang pinakamakapangyarihang kasangkapan upang mapangalagaan at paunlarin pa ang mga materyal at di-materyal na pamanang pangkultura o ang ating tangible and intangible cultural heritage. Kailangang irespeto sa akademya sa tulong ng mga dalubguro at lingguwista ang mga wikang bernakular bilang mabisang wikang panturo o wika ng pagkatuto ng mga mag-aaral sa lahat ng sulok ng bansa. Nararapat iwasan ang pagtangi, pagkutya, at paghamak sa isang tao nang dahil lamang sa pagkakaroon ng puntong rehiyonal dahil hindi ito isang linguistic defect kundi isang linguistic identity. Hindi kailan man dapat talikuran ang wikang kinagisnan o mother tongue sanhi ng politikal, sosyal, at academic pressures. Sa gusto man natin o hindi, mangungusap at mangungusap ang isang tao ayon sa nakagawian sa komunidad na kaniyang pinagmulan. 5 KATITIKAN PROCEEDINGS Nawa, sa pamamagitan ng Kumperensiya na ito ay maipahatid natin nang mas malinaw ang kahalagahan ng ating mga katutubong wika at makabuo ng mga hakbang upang mapangalagaan ang mga ito. Hangad ko ang tagumpay ng pagtitipong ito.

  • Inclusion and Cultural Preservation for the Ifugao People
    421 Journal of Southeast Asian Human Rights, Vol.2 No. 2 December 2018. pp. 421-447 doi: 10.19184/jseahr.v2i2.8232 © University of Jember & Indonesian Consortium for Human Rights Lecturers Inclusion and Cultural Preservation for the Ifugao People Ellisiah U. Jocson Managing Director, OneLife Foundation Inc. (OLFI), M.A.Ed Candidate, University of the Philippines, Diliman Abstract This study seeks to offer insight into the paradox between two ideologies that are currently being promoted in Philippine society and identify the relationship of both towards the indigenous community of the Ifugao in the country. Inclusion is a growing trend in many areas, such as education, business, and development. However, there is ambiguity in terms of educating and promoting inclusion for indigenous groups, particularly in the Philippines. Mandates to promote cultural preservation also present limits to the ability of indigenous people to partake in the cultures of mainstream society. The Ifugao, together with other indigenous tribes in the Philippines, are at a state of disadvantage due to the discrepancies between the rights that they receive relative to the more urbanized areas of the country. The desire to preserve the Ifugao culture and to become inclusive in delivering equal rights and services create divided vantages that seem to present a rift and dilemma deciding which ideology to promulgate. Apart from these imbalances, the stance of the Ifugao regarding this matter is unclear, particularly if they observe and follow a central principle. Given that the notion of inclusion is to accommodate everyone regardless of “race, gender, disability, ethnicity, social class, and religion,” it is highly imperative to provide clarity to this issue and identify what actions to take.

  • A Model for the Implementation of Non-Formal Language Acquisition in Language Revitalization: the Case Study of Irish
    A Model for the Implementation Of Non-Formal Language Acquisition In Language Revitalization: The Case Study of Irish Anne Beltman 12299448 MA Thesis Language and Society University of Amsterdam Supervisor: prof. F. Gobbo 06-08-2019 Acknowledgements I would like to thank Prof. dr. Gobbo, my thesis supervisor, for his guidance throughout this project. In agreeing to take on this project, he has taught me a lot about sociolinguistics, but also about academia itself. I would like to thank my friends and family for all their support, for proofreading all the drafts I sent and calming me down in cases of panic. Finally, my thanks to Fien, Kim, Zach and Jenna for being there always. 2 Abstract Non-formal language acquisition (NFLA) is language acquisition that is embedded in planned activities that are not explicitly designated as learning and is intentional from the learner’s point of view (Colardyn & Bjornavold, 2004). Using existing frameworks, a model was created to test whether a threatened language has enough support to implement NFLA- based programs, in order to help revitalization of the language. To test the proposed model, it has been applied to Irish. From this case study, it can be concluded that while the model provides a good basis, there are still improvements to be made. 3 Table of contents 1. Introduction 6 1.1. Background 6 1.2.

  • MIXED CODES, BILINGUALISM, and LANGUAGE MAINTENANCE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requi
    BILINGUAL NAVAJO: MIXED CODES, BILINGUALISM, AND LANGUAGE MAINTENANCE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Charlotte C. Schaengold, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Brian Joseph, Advisor Professor Donald Winford ________________________ Professor Keith Johnson Advisor Linguistics Graduate Program ABSTRACT Many American Indian Languages today are spoken by fewer than one hundred people, yet Navajo is still spoken by over 100,000 people and has maintained regional as well as formal and informal dialects. However, the language is changing. While the Navajo population is gradually shifting from Navajo toward English, the “tip” in the shift has not yet occurred, and enormous efforts are being made in Navajoland to slow the language’s decline. One symptom in this process of shift is the fact that many young people on the Reservation now speak a non-standard variety of Navajo called “Bilingual Navajo.” This non-standard variety of Navajo is the linguistic result of the contact between speakers of English and speakers of Navajo. Similar to Michif, as described by Bakker and Papen (1988, 1994, 1997) and Media Lengua, as described by Muysken (1994, 1997, 2000), Bilingual Navajo has the structure of an American Indian language with parts of its lexicon from a European language. “Bilingual mixed languages” are defined by Winford (2003) as languages created in a bilingual speech community with the grammar of one language and the lexicon of another. My intention is to place Bilingual Navajo into the historical and theoretical framework of the bilingual mixed language, and to explain how ii this language can be used in the Navajo speech community to help maintain the Navajo language.

    Title <Articles>A phonological sketch of Ilocano Author(s) YAMAMOTO, Kyosuke Citation 京都大学言語学研究 (2017), 36: 21-49 Issue Date 2017-12-31 URL https://doi.org/10.14989/230686 Right © 京都大学言語学研究室 2017 Type Departmental Bulletin Paper Textversion publisher Kyoto University 京都大学言語学研究 (Kyoto University Linguistic Research) 36 (2017), 21 –49 A phonological sketch of Ilocano Kyosuke Yamamoto Abstract: In this paper I describe and analyze the phonology of the northern dialect of Ilocano (Western Malayo-Polynesian, Northern Luzon). The description includes segmental phonology, syllable structure and weight, stress placement, and phonological processes. I also argue the following. First, the phonemic status of the glottal stop depends on the environment. It is partly phonemic, but epenthetic in particular environments. Second, syllables that contain a long vowel are heavy but open syllables with a short vowel and closed syllables should be considered as light. Third, Ilocano has no diphthongs and those which have been considered to be diphthongs are in fact a sequence of a consonant and vowel. Fourth, the assignment of stress is almost entirely predictable and is assumed to be essentially postlexical. Fifth, in Ilocano three distinct prosodic word domains, the lowest prosodic constituent which is related to morphosyntactic constituency, should be posited to describe phonological processes. I also show that most of these processes repair ill-formed syllable structures.*1 Keywords: Ilocano, Austronesian, segmental phonology, prosodic phonology 1 The Ilocano language The Ilocano language is a Western Malayo-Polynesian language of the Austronesian Family (Blust 2013) and is spoken by about 9 million people in the northwest of Luzon Island in the Philippines (Rubino 2005), serving as the lingua franca of the region.

Thematic edition of Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development. 1 Introduction Bernadette O’Rourkea* and John Walshb aDepartment of Languages and Intercultural Studies, School of Social Sciences, Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh, UK; bSchool of Languages, Literatures and Cultures, National University of Ireland, Galway, Ireland * Department of Languages and Intercultural Studies School of Social Sciences Heriot Watt University Edinburgh EH14 4AS UK Email: b.m.a.o’[email protected] 2 Introduction In this Special Issue we describe and analyse the practices and ideologies of ‘new speakers’ of minority languages. The ‘new speaker’ label is used to describe individuals with little or no home or community exposure to a minority language but who instead acquire it through immersion or bilingual educational programmes, revitalisation projects or as adult language learners (O’Rourke, Pujolar and Ramallo 2015). Dominant discourses in linguistics and its associated strands have tended to prioritise native speech over learner varieties. In applied linguistics native speech has often been presented to learners as the only authentic and desirable variety (Davies 2003). The revitalisation of minority languages has been framed within a preservationist rhetoric often with little tolerance for linguistic innovation or transgressive practices such as code-switching, translanguaging, or hybridisation (O’Rourke and Pujolar 2013). Work on new speakers has been informed by a theoretical framework which critiques such an approach to language revitalisation.

  • (MTB-MLE) Learning Materials: an Analysis of K to 12 Ilocano Short Stories
    The Suitability of Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) Learning Materials: An Analysis of K to 12 Ilocano Short Stories Jillian Loise L. Melchor, University of the Philippines-Diliman Abstract The country’s archipelagic nature is an ever-present feature of any Filipinist discourse. This is especially palpable when crafting language policies. Contemporary Philippines displays a discernible paradigm shift in its approach on the language question. The nationalist discourse appears to be replaced by a cultural imperative to preserve indigenous heritage, which owes its vibrancy to the country’s plural composition. In 2012, the unprecedented Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) scheme was implemented as a crucial component of the Department of Education’s radical adoption of the K-12 Basic Education Program. Despite the scheme’s noble objective of making “Filipino children life-long learners in their L1 (MT), L2 (Filipino, the national language), and L3 (English, the global language)” (DepEd, 2013), policy implementation falls short due to the scarcity of readily-available learning materials. Of the eighteen indigenous languages adopted by the MTB-MLE scheme, Ilocano is the only regional language represented on DepEd’s online didactic platform. This paper is a language-specific study of the suitability of learning materials made accessible on DepEd Tambayan which features a compilation of nineteen Ilocano short stories. It interrogates the short stories’ linguistic and sociocultural elements, drawing attention to the glaring inaccuracies that pervade these texts intended as learning materials. The proposal of flawed didactic materials is unfortunately indicative of the department’s ineptitude in implementing the mother-tongue framework, which in turn is symptomatic of the hastiness of the whole K-12 project.

  • Divergence of Altai Macro System Languages and Issues of Their Genetic Relationship O. Sapashev* A. Smailova** B. Zhaksymov
    Türkbilig, 2016/31: 109-126. DIVERGENCE OF ALTAI MACRO SYSTEM LANGUAGES AND ISSUES OF THEIR GENETIC RELATIONSHIP O. SAPASHEV* A. SMAILOVA** B. ZHAKSYMOV*** Abstract: Scientists recognize the difficulties associated with final and perfect solution of the problem of origin of the Altai community. The most important issue according to their opinion is a difficulty in differentiation of elements of a possible genetic commonality, the traces of which can be found in all Altaic languages, from the secondary elements of community, developing in different periods of close contacts of various Altaic peoples for at least of two millennia period. Mutual lexical borrowings of not only from single Altaic languages, but also borrowings from non-Altaic languages (the phenomenon of the substrate or super stratum) led to a significant lexical generality of secondary order and gave the reasons for establishment of various kinds of correspondences not relating to common Altaic protolanguage heritage that creates a large difficult to apply comparative- historical method. Keywords: Altaic, macro-system, genetic kinship, language typology, the rudiments Altay Makro Sistemi Dillerinin Farklılıkları ve Onların Genetik İlişkilerine Dair Konular Özet: Altayistik çalışan araştırmacıları, Altay toplumun kökeni sorununun nihai ve mükemmel bir çözümüyle ilişkili olan zorluklar bekler. Araştırmacıların görüşüne göre en önemli konu, olası genetik ortaklık unsurlarının ve Altay dillerinde bulunabilecek izlerin farklılaşması zorluğudur. Bu zorluklar, toplumun ikincil unsurlarından kaynaklanır ve farklı zamanlarda çeşitli Altay topluluklarının en az iki bin yıllık yakın ilişkiler sonucu gelişmiştir. Sadece Altay dilleri ve Altay dilleri dışındaki dillerden karşılıklı sözcük alışverişi (altkatman ve üstkatman olgusu) ikincil seviyede önemli sözcüksel genellemeler ortaya çıkardı ve tarihi-karşılaştırmalı metodun uygulanmasını zorlaştıran ortak proto Altay dil mirasıyla ilgili olmayan bir yapının oluşmasına neden oldu.

  • Purism, Variation, Change and 'Authenticity'
    This is the accepted version of an article published by Cambridge University Press in European ​ Review. Published version available from: https://doi.org/10.1017/S1062798717000400 ​ ​ Accepted version downloaded from SOAS Research Online: http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/25200/ ​ Purism, variation, change and ‘authenticity’: Ideological challenges to language revitalisation Julia Sallabank SOAS University of London Abstract 1 This paper is based on recent research into the small, highly endangered language Giernesiei 2 (Guernsey, Channel Islands). Language documentation has found unexpectedly rich variation and change in Giernesiei usage, not all of which can be accounted for by regional and age-related factors. At the same time, our research into language ideologies and efforts to maintain and revitalise Giernesiei have revealed deep-seated purist or ‘traditionalist’ language attitudes which resist and deny language change. This nostalgic view of language and culture can hyper-valorise ‘authentic’ traditions (arguably reinvented: Johnson 2013) and can lead to reluctance to share Giernesiei effectively with younger generations who might ‘change the language’, despite an overt desire to maintain it. This mismatch between ideologies and practices can be seen at language festivals, in lessons for children, and in the experiences of adult learners who were interviewed as part of a British Academy-funded project. I present a taxonomy of reactions to variation in Giernesiei, which confirms and extends the findings of Jaffe (2008) in Corsica. I also discuss recent revitalisation efforts which try to bring together older and ‘new’ speakers and promote the role of adult learners and ‘re-activate’ semi-speakers. The findings support the view that full evaluation of language vitality should include documenting the processes and ideologies of language revitalisation (Sallabank 2012; Austin and Sallabank 2014).

Bax iii Acknowledgements I respectfully acknowledge that this dissertation was researched and written while I was living on the unceded lands of the Chumash and Kumeyaay people. I am deeply grateful to so many people whose time, labor, and love have made this dissertation possible. Completing and defending this work from quarantine in the midst of a global pandemic has made me reflect on the many individuals who have helped me along the way, so many of whom I eagerly await the opportunity to see again in person. First, none of this work would have been possible without the generosity, patience, and enthusiasm of the Mixtec residents of Ventura County who have so graciously shared their lives, thoughts, time, and energy with me over the years. I am especially grateful to Isabel, Nina, and Ita Ndivi, the focal participant-researchers in this dissertation, for their dedication to this project and their trust. Thanks also go to their friends and family who participated in this research, particularly to Nina’s mother, who aided with transcription and translation of her variety of Mixtec.
