Abstract:

Kagayanen is a resilient Austronesian>Greater Central
Philippine>Manobo language spoken by about 30,000 individuals, mostly
in Palawan province in the Philippines. This grammar is the result of
nearly 40 years of research by Carol Pebley and a team of Kagayanen
speakers and non-Kagayanen co-workers. The primary data source is a
corpus of texts collected over a 20 year period. These texts, three of
which appear in an appendix to this book, provide vivid insights into
Kagayanen ways of being. The grammar is written with a general
linguistics audience in mind, from a "communication first"
perspective. It should prove useful to specialists in Austronesian
languages, linguistic typologists, and others interested in doing
research in the central Philippines. It is also hoped that this
grammar will be an encouragement to Kagayanen speakers, proving that
their language is wonderfully complex and deserves an equal place
alongside other regional and international languages.
