The Filipino Bilingual: Studies on Philippine Bilingualism and Bilingual Education

A foundational cornerstone in Philippine sociolinguistics, The Filipino Bilingual (1977), edited by pioneering linguist Dr. Emy M. Pascasio, offers a groundbreaking exploration of language, culture, and identity. Compiling essential research from the early years of the nation’s Bilingual Education Policy, this seminal volume dissects the complex code-switching habits, academic realities, and dual-language competencies of the Filipino speaker. It remains an indispensable resource for educators, policymakers, and scholars navigating the delicate balance between local heritage and global communication.
