摘要

本文介绍了菲律宾英语推特语料库（TCOPE）：一个由2700万条推特组成的数据集，总计1.35亿字，收集自菲律宾29个城市。它提供了数据集的概述，然后展示了如何使用它来检查菲律宾英语（PhilE）及其与语言外因素（如种族、地理区域、时间、性别）的关系。重点研究了四个PhilE特征的变化模式：（1）不规则过去时词素-t，（2）双比较词，（3）虚拟语气was和（4）短语动词基from。我的分析证实了之前的工作，并进一步证明了PhilE内部的结构性异质性，表明它是一个多方面的动态变化。TCOPE对探索当代菲律宾英语的“一般”特征及其变体的不同形式都很有用。它有助于随着时间的推移和在不同的社会背景下更深入地理解菲律宾英语。

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.
