Instructor Noah Cruz has received the UPD Student Publication Award for Exemplary Research and Creative Work for his recent publication, “Malalimang Pagtalakay sa Dalawang Pangunahing Lápit sa Pagtatása sa Sigla ng mga Wika sa Pilipinas,” in the Daluyan Journal.
Cruz developed his paper as part of his thesis, “Ang Pagtatasa sa Sigla ng mga Wika at Diyalekto sa Pilipinas: Kalagayan at Patutunguhan,” supervised by Assoc. Prof. Tuting Hernandez and funded in part by the OVCRD Thesis and Dissertation Grant. It “re-evaluates the effectiveness of existing language vitality scales especially when used in the context of Philippine languages” like Kinaray-a in Visayas, Ayta Magbukun in Bataan, and Kapampangan Mabatang.
The award is given by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Development, and aims to “cite exemplary research publications of students and to encourage UPD students to create impact from their research activities by publishing their work in UPD journals.” To be eligible, a student must be (i) “enrolled in UPD at the time of submission of the article, or (ii) “last enrolled in UPD no more than one (1) year from the acceptance of the article for publication.”
