Instructor JM De Pano and Teaching Associate Patricia Asuncion have published a co-authored work, “Phonological markedness interacts with word order in Tagalog: Evidence from a memory recognition task,” at the Proceedings of the Fifty-Fourth Annual Meeting of the North East Linguistic Society (Volume 1). With primary authors Dr. Jed Pizarro-Guevara (visiting research fellow since 2015) and Alessa Farinella (visiting research fellow, 2023 and 2024), the research found that “in Tagalog, phonological markedness affects word order in recognition, which makes it possible for phonological markedness and word order to interact in production” and “that the effect of phonological markedness was stronger for the default adjective-noun order than the noun-adjective order.”
The volume may be accessed at <https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DPT4M2B8?ref_=pe_93986420_774957520>. Interested readers may also email the authors for a preprint copy.
