Thesis (PH.D.)--UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SANTA BARBARA, 1997.
This dissertation provides a summary of the morphology and syntax of modern spoken and written Ilocano. It is structured in such a way that it may be of use to those with no formal training in linguistics, and to those involved in Ilocano pedagogy or language study. Unlike previous grammars of the language, this grammar provides interlinearized glosses, discourse data from spoken and written sources, and a general framework of grammatical analysis aimed at explaining the intricate workings of the morphology and syntax specific to the Ilocano language itself. The role of transitivity is central to the analysis, so special attention is given to clear explanations of the terms ergative, absolutive, and oblique.
Clearly, there is a growing need for more linguistic work and analysis in the Philippine archipelago. I hope that this study addresses the needs not only of specialized linguists, but also native speakers of the language and educators involved with its instruction.
