Collaborate with Us
The Department encourages both its undergraduate and graduate students to pursue and engage in collaborative research projects conducted by its faculty and graduate students. Several projects are also done in partnership with researchers from other units in the University, as well as from institutions located in other parts of the Philippines and abroad.
Currently, the roster of faculty, staff, and students of the Department of Linguistics engage in research activities covering a wide range of topics, which include the following:
| Documentation, description, and revitalization of Philippine languages and dialects |
| Construction of dictionaries and glossaries for Philippine languages |
| Explorations into the relationship between language, culture, identity, and ethnohistory |
| Comparative analysis of the typological features of various languages |
| Descriptions of languages in contact, sociolinguistic conditions in multilingual communities, and the effects of language contact |
| Inquiries into how individuals learn second or foreign languages, and the creation of resources geared towards Filipino learners |
| Analysis of linguistic issues in communication and translation |
We welcome proposals for collaborative research, which are aligned with our research areas and expertise.
