"Vowel system or vowel systems? Sociophonetic variation in the monophthongs of
Manila Lánnang-uè (Philippine Hybrid Hokkien)" (online talk)
Abstract:
Lánnang-uè, also known as Philippine (Hybrid) Hokkien, is a contact language
employed by the Lannang community. The variety used in metropolitan Manila (
henceforth, Lánnang-uè) primarily comprises elements from Hokkien, Tagalog/
Filipino, and English. In this presentation, I will delve into the intricacies
of Lánnang-uè, investigating it as a mixed language, and examine the
linguistic and social factors that contribute to the variation within its
monophthongs. (For a full description of the talk, please see here.)
