The Linguistic Society of the Philippines, Inc. (or LSP) is a learned society for linguists and language educators based in Manila, Philippines. It was founded in 1969 primarily to rally for increased domestic research work on Philippine languages. The organization currently hosts and co-hosts local and international conferences and three memorial lectures. The LSP also publishes its own international peer-reviewed scholarly journal entitled the Philippine Journal of Linguistics (PJL).[1]

Among notable people involved with the organization were linguists R. David Zorc and Lawrence A. Reid[2] and former Department of Education, Culture and Sports secretary Andrew Gonzalez. For years, the LSP has also been an active partner of SIL International, known publisher of the Ethnologue.[3][4]

History

The organization was the brainchild of Dr. Bonifacio Sibayan of the Philippine Normal College (now a university) and Dr. Ernesto Constantino of the University of the Philippines, two linguists who were working on their respective research projects in the Pacific and Asian Languages Institute of the University of Hawaiʻi in 1968. Far away from home and very conscious of the linguistic work going on in the US, they had several discussions on the need for an organization of linguists that would do research and write on Philippine languages. The Linguistic Society of the Philippines (popularly known as the LSP) was formally organized in school year 1969-1970, with Teodoro Llamzon (Ateneo de Manila) as president, Bonifacio Sibayan (PNC) as vice-president, Edilberto Dagot (PNC) as secretary, and Fe Otanes (PNC) as treasurer.

Several LSP members appeared before the Constitutional Convention of 1971 and again before the Constitutional Commission in 1986 to discuss the national language issue. The LSP was also involved in the formulation of the Bilingual Education Policy in 1974 and conducted a formal evaluation of its implementation for the period 1974 to 1985; based on the results of that evaluation, the Policy was revised in 1987.[5]

Conference Hosting

The Linguistic Society of the Philippines International Conference (LSPIC) is the international academic conference series of the LSP held annually. The first LSPIC was held from 7 to 9 March 2019 at De La Salle University as part of the society’s 50th anniversary.[6]

Subsequent editions have been held in different locations and formats:

  • LSPIC 2020 - Dakak Park and Beach Resort in Dapitan City[7]
  • LSPIC 2022 - held jointly with the English in Southeast Asia International Conference in a wholly digital format[8]
  • LSPIC 2023 - Mindanao State University–Iligan Institute of Technology[9]
  • LSPIC 2024 - Isabela State University Cauayan Campus
  • LSPIC 2025 - Pangasinan State University–Lingayen Campus[10]
  • LSPIC 2026 - West Visayas State University, Iloilo City[11]

The conference serves as a venue for research in linguistics, language, and language education, including Philippine linguistics, sociolinguistics, multilingualism, language policy, corpus linguistics, and related areas.

Organization

The LSP is handled by a group of elected scholars and academicians from various institutions in the Philippines.[12]
