A study of the competence of Hiligaynon sixth-grade pupils in the production of the stress patterns, of Pilipino words with false Visayan cognates
Abstract
This study hopes to serve the general purpose of determining (1) whether it is true that similarities between Pilipino and the vernacular of a Philippine region could facilitate the study of Pilipino; and (2) what may be the probable causes of mispronunciation among elementary school children, particularly in the non-Tagalog areas.
This particular study was narrowed down to determining the competence of Hiligaynon (Visayan) sixth-grade pupils in the production of the stress patterns of Pilipino words which have false cognates in the vernacular (Hiligaynon).
Answers to the following questions were sought:
1. What Pilipino stress patterns are commonly missed by Hiligaynon sixth-grade pupils?
2. Who have greater percentage of errors in the production of Pilipino stress patterns, the boys or the girls?
3. If there are outstanding differences in competence, to what may they be attributed?
4. Does mastery of Hiligaynon stress patterns facilitate or interfere with the learning of Pilipino by a Hiligaynon Visa- yan sixth-grade pupils? To what degree?
