Abstract:

English competes with Tagalog and Taglish, a mixture of English and
Tagalog, for the affections of Filipinos. To understand the competing
ideologies that underlie this switching between languages, this book
looks at the language situation from multiple perspectives. Part A
reviews the social and political forces that have propelled English
through its life cycle in the Philippines from the 1898 arrival of
Admiral Dewey to the 1998 election of Joseph Estrada. Part B looks at
the social support for English in Metro Manila and the provinces with
a focus on English teachers and their personal and public use of
English. Part C examines the language of television sport broadcasts,
commercials, interviews, sitcoms, and movies, and the language of
newspapers from various linguistic, sociolinguistic, and sociocultural
perspectives. The results put into perspective the short-lived
language revolution that took place at the turn of the twenty-first
century.
