DESCRIPTION:See you for the next Binalot Talk on 19 April\, 12:00pm to 1:00
 pm. Maria Kristina S. Gallego of the University of the Philippines Diliman
  Department of Linguistics will give a talk entitled 'The stratigraphy of 
 a community: 150 years of language contact and change in Babuyan Claro\, P
 hilippines'.AbstractLanguage is a reflection of history\, and as such\, ch
 anges in the social life of a community are signaled by corresponding laye
 rs of language change.The island community of Babuyan Claro\, located in t
 he far north of the Philippines\, demonstrates the importance of this conn
 ection. The island is home to the Ibatans\, a community which emerged from
  a century and a half of intense social contact between people from differ
 ent\, but closely related\, ethnolinguistic groups: Ivatan and Itbayaten (
 Batanic) and Ilokano (Cordilleran). The mixed ancestry of the present-day 
 Ibatan people\, coupled with sustained social contact among the groups\, r
 esulted in the maintenance of bilingualism\, which has driven the developm
 ent of Ibatan as a language distinct from its sister Batanic languages.Iba
 tan reflects striking contact-induced linguistic features\, not only in th
 e lexicon\, but also in structure\, namely phonology and morphosyntax. The
 se outcomes of language contact are driven by cognitive\, social\, and lin
 guistic mechanisms that apply on both the aggregates of the individual and
  the community. Language change therefore is embedded within the socio-his
 torical context of the people. Teasing apart layers of language change the
 n allows us to reconstruct the stratigraphy of a community. That is\, part
 icular kinds of contact-induced change are argued to be linked to specific
  agents of change\, agents with varying degrees of language dominance in I
 batan\, which are in turn shaped by the social ecology of the community.Th
 e accumulation of social change in the 150 years of the Babuyan Claro comm
 unity involves changing patterns of agentivity\, language dominance\, and 
 population structure\, which continue to shape the Ibatan language. This c
 ase study on Babuyan Claro that links linguistic outcomes to the mechanism
 s and agents that drive them ultimately allows us to understand the nature
  of language contact and change more deeply.See you there.
