Thesis title:
My project, building on my previous studies of indigenous languages, examines the Manobo-Matigsalug’s changing “language ecology” (i.e. how languages interact with each other and the places they are spoken (Haugen, 1972)), in response to the threat to their IKSPs. My overarching research question is “How do the Manobo-Matigsalug in Sinuda, Kitaotao, Bukidnon, Philippines adapt to the dynamic linguistic ecology of their society?” Specifically, my project will investigate:
1. What hegemonic languages, cultures, political systems, economic institutions, and environmental issues drive changes in the language ecology of the Manobo-Matigsalug?
2. How do the Manobo-Matigsalug project their language attitudes and ideologies in facing the changes to their language ecology?
3. How does the Manobo-Matigsalug language ecology affect the preservation or abandonment of their IKSPs?
