How is language entrenched in places and landscapes?
The UP Department of Geography Webbynar Series is proud to present the final lecture for 2021 by Prof Jesus Federico Hernandez from the UP Department of Linguistics. The talk is via Zoom on Saturday, 4 December 2021 at 2:00PM.
The lecture entitled Reconstituting space: Exploring place lexicon in Philippine languages will focus on particular lexical items within the domain of place that are pan-Philippine or are shared across various Philippine ethnolinguistic groups. Lexical cognancy with non-Philippine languages within the Austronesian language family will also be explored. It is hoped that understanding how the concept of place is coded in the lexicon, markers, and affixes will provide insights into our indigenous place-making system.
