Broadening horizons in the diachronic and sociolinguistic study of Philippine English with the Twitter Corpus of
Philippine Englishes (TCOPE)
This paper presents the Twitter Corpus of Philippine Englishes (TCOPE): a dataset of 27 million tweets amounting
to 135 million words collected from 29 cities across the Philippines. It provides an overview of the dataset, and then shows how
it can be employed to examine Philippine English (PhilE) and its relationship with extralinguistic factors (e.g. ethno-geographic
region, time, sex). The focus is on the patterns of variation involving four PhilE features: (1) irregular past tense morpheme
-t, (2) double comparatives, (3) subjunctive were, and (4) phrasal verb base
from. My analyses corroborate previous work and further demonstrate structured heterogeneity within PhilE, indicating
that it is a multifaceted and dynamic variety. TCOPE has shown itself to be useful for exploring both the “general” features of
contemporary PhilE and the different forms of variation within it. It contributes to a deeper understanding of Philippine
English(es) over time and in different social contexts.
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.
