Abstract:

This Element proposes the concept of Philippine Englishes-in-motion as
an alternative approach to understanding Philippine Englishes. It
situates this proposition within the concerns of mobility, labor
migration, multilingualism, and transnationalism. Drawing on analyses
of self-recorded conversations by 18 Filipino migrants in Japan, along
with other empirical data, this Element illuminates the processes of
linguistic selection, as Filipino migrants selectively draw from,
adapt, or reject specific features within the multilingual pool they
share with others. It also examines the social positions that Filipino
migrants navigate as they use their linguistic resources across
various spaces within Japanese society, as well as the
extra-territorial and intra-territorial factors that facilitate the
entry and diffusion of Philippine Englishes in Japan. This Element
concludes by suggesting avenues of inquiry concerning identity,
linguistic variation, education and language acquisition, and more.
