Abstract

English has profoundly influenced the Philippine language through the assimilation of source language words into the recipient language. This linguistic exchange, influenced by historical and cultural contacts, has resulted in a notable transformation of linguistic aspects in the Philippines. Over time, English has seamlessly been incorporated into the Filipino language, highlighting a notable process of linguistic exchange. This study specifically delved into the morphological and phonological adaptations of English loanwords in Filipino, examining nuances and shifts in linguistic structure and meaning during the borrowing process through purposive sampling. Qualitative research methods and content analysis were employed, focusing on loanwords extracted from Bob Ong’s novels as a linguistic corpus, delving into the process of incorporating English loanwords into the Filipino language, exploring how this integration instigates a transformation to align with the grammatical and linguistic structure of the target language, and revealing notable morphophonological adaptations and semantic shifts that occur during the borrowing process. Inflections of English lexemes, complemented with Filipino morphemes, were observed, along with modifications to phonological rules, phonotactic constraints, morphemes, and shifts in semantic meaning. The analysis revealed an overall change in the morphophonological structure of phrases and sentences within the corpus. This research underscores the impact of cultural and contextual factors on the adaptation of English loanwords into Filipino, emphasizing specific patterns or structures in the vocabulary borrowing process tailored to the target language. This study contributes valuable insights for linguistic researchers, educators, and language enthusiasts interested in tracing language development and evolution through borrowing and adaptation.

Abstract

The study explores the academic superstitions of the pre-service teachers in Philippine Normal University Visayas and to find out whether these beliefs have positive impact to their mental attitude with regards to the promotion of their chosen programs. This is a mixed method research that specifically uses the explanatory sequential method design which employed the researcher-made questionnaire and an interview guide as tools to gather data. Stratified sampling was utilized to come up with the seventy-two (72) respondents. The statistical tools used in the study were the mean and standard deviation. Percentage, ranking, test, and one-way-ANOVA were used as well. For the qualitative data, this study used thematic analysis. Results provide a significant insight into the contemporary student mindset, showing that superstitions are not merely disregarded as irrational notions but are acknowledged to have a substantial role in both academic and personal growth. Also, students’ alignment or divergence concerning superstitions’ effect on academics is not notably influenced by their native language. In the same vein, results indicate that gender does not have a decisive role in shaping students’ views on superstitions in an academic context. Hence, external factors like personal experiences, family beliefs, and broader cultural influences may wield a greater influence in shaping students’ perceptions of superstitions with academic settings. The presented results offer a distinctive contribution to our comprehension of superstitions and their impact on mental outlook, psychological processes, and resultant behaviors. Simultaneously, these findings propose avenues for further exploration of superstitions.

Abstract

This study utilized the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) Action Research Model by Shewhart and Deming to address off-task behaviors in a grade 7 classroom. A survey initially identified ten common disruptive behaviors, including sleeping and talking to seatmates. To encourage positive behavior, an Attention Cue Point Sheet was implemented, along with dynamic seating arrangements based on student preferences. On Day 1, high incidences of off-task behaviors were observed, with 45% of students goes in and out without permission, and 50% talking to seatmates as the highest. By Day 2, these behaviors significantly reduced, with only 20% of students goes in and out without permission and 7.5% students talking to their seatmates. Improvements continued on Day 3, and by Day 4, off-task behaviors were nearly eliminated. This four-day intervention, featuring daily monitoring and personalized feedback following the sandwich feedbacking method, substantially reduced disruptive behaviors. The study highlights the effectiveness of the PDSA model and positive reinforcement strategies in promoting positive classroom behavior and creating a conducive learning environment.

Abstract

This study aims to systematically and semantically analyze kanal humour in conversation– its feature, the meaning behind it, as well as what it conveys or expresses to give clarifications and a more profound understanding of kanal humour. This study used the Semantic Analysis method to analyze and interpret the content of Kanal humour in Tiktok videos. Furthermore, the result shows that kanal humour uses specific linguistic strategies, such as homophonic puns and double entendres, and violates maxims of conversations to subvert expectations and entertain. The analysis of "kanal humor" supports current theories of humor, showing that reinterpreting word meanings creates humor through incongruity and the subversion of expectations. Furthermore, the study shows how this form of humour has influenced language use among TikTok users, creating a distinct linguistic style that may be vague to those outside the platform's community. This effect is consistent with studies of language and communication, which show that humour often stems from typical conversational patterns. Researchers recommend that this study is of use as a reference for future researchers that would also study kanal humour across various social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, X, etc., as well as to examine and compare the content of Kanal humour from these platforms. Lastly, this can be of use or contribute to the field of linguistics and digital communication.
