Abstract

This study examines linguistic prejudice towards the accents of three regional varieties of Philippine English: Cebuano English, Ilocano English, and Tagalog English. Data were collected using a verbal-guise technique taken by 982 listener-judges, who were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Results showed an overall more favorable attitude towards Tagalog English. Cebuano English and Ilocano English speakers were judged as less socially attractive and less competent compared to their Tagalog English counterparts. In the multilingual Philippines, where languages in the periphery, i.e. languages other than English and Tagalog, face negative stereotypes, the results indicate potential linguistic prejudice towards accents that individuals view as deviating from the standard, i.e. the Tagalog English accent as ‘the’ standard of Philippine English. The findings are discussed in light of the ongoing observation of the development of Philippine English in the Schneiderian model of postcolonial Englishes.

对菲律宾英语地方口音的偏见

本研究探讨了对菲律宾英语三个地区方言口音的语言偏见：宿务英语、伊洛卡诺英语和他加禄英语。数据是通过有目的的抽样技术从 982 名听者评判者中进行口头猜测而收集的。结果表明，他加禄语英语总体上更受欢迎。说宿务语英语和伊洛卡诺语英语的人与说他加禄语英语的人相比，在社会上的吸引力和能力都较差。在多语言的菲律宾，边缘语言（即英语和他加禄语之外的语言）面临着负面的刻板印象，研究结果表明，对于个人认为偏离标准的口音（即他加禄英语口音是菲律宾英语的 "标准"），存在潜在的语言偏见。研究结果将根据施耐德后殖民英语模式中对菲律宾英语发展的持续观察进行讨论。

期刊介绍： English World-Wide has established itself as the leading and most comprehensive journal dealing with varieties of English. The focus is on scholarly discussions of new findings in the dialectology and sociolinguistics of the English-speaking communities (native and second-language speakers), but general problems of sociolinguistics, creolistics, language planning, multilingualism and modern historical sociolinguistics are included if they have a direct bearing on modern varieties of English. Although teaching problems are normally excluded, English World-Wide provides important background information for all those involved in teaching English throughout the world.
