Recovering Translingualism in Precolonial Philippines
Martinez, Julius C.
International Journal of Multilingualism, v20 n3 p1031-1051 2023
This sociohistorical study probes an archaeological artefact called the Laguna Copperplate Inscription (LCI) to suggest that translingualism, a sociolinguistic orientation that foregrounds the fluidity of language boundaries, was practised by precolonial Filipinos. It then analyses how translingual practices were potentially devalued by linguistic ideologies of hierarchisation that predominantly informed the translation tasks of Spanish missionaries in the Philippines. The study ends by discussing prevailing misconceptions or myths about translingualism, drawing on findings about the LCI and other related studies.
