    MAIN ISSUES
    IDENTITY vs. INTERNATIONALISM INTELLIGIBILITY
    (Crystal, 1995)
    PHILIPPINE ENGLISH
    - the English of “educated Filipino professionals”, many
    of them considered as leaders of our society

    - qualifies as an English dialect

    Why?
    Language drift – random changes in forms and rules that diffuse
    throughout a speech community through cultural transmission,
    and have become regular and systematic

    Causes: interference from Philippine languages and


    systematization by Filipino language professionals
    PHILIPPINE ENGLISH
    Errors?
    • Considering STANDARD ENGLISH (IE), most are plain
    errors; others are questionable forms.

    • Using the approach of authorities on World Englishes, such


    “errors” may become acceptable to varying degrees.

    • For the sake of uniformity, clarity and international


    intelligibility, the differences must be addressed.
