Weighting and sequencing English tense-aspect modifications for Hiligaynon speakers
Résumé
The purpose of this study was to evolve a pattern of weighting and sequencing English tense-aspect modifications for Hiligaynon speakers. Three more or less independent but complementary studies were involved: (a) a study of the errors committed in 20,124 verb occurrences in 1,100 compositions written by Hiligaynon students whose grade levels ranged from Grade IV through the freshman year of college; (b) a study of the functional load of English tense-aspect modifications from a variety of written and spoken sources, which included a corpus of 12,000 sentences from which 7,043 verb usages were sampled; and (c) a contrastive analysis of English tense-aspect modifications and their Hiligaynon equivalents.
