Most cultures experience evolutions in the use of registers or words in both formal and
informal settings. In the Philippines, for example, some linguistic phenomena have taken the
country by storm, affecting the way people communicate with each other. This is briefly
explained in the excerpt below.
The modern generation has ushered a new era of language users who have consistently
challenged the traditionally accepted, conventional notions on linguistic structures and
grammar. Truly, language has inevitably evolved with the influence both of social sub-groups
and of language theorists who somehow "create" their own rules on grammar and syntax. This
is evident in most societies and is very much apparent in the Philippine context.
One obvious example is the use of a different set of words, meanings, and sentence
structures by the members of various sectors of society. It was only in the first few years of
the 21" century when terms such as 'chugbak' (die/death), 'keber' (do not care), eklavu' (false,
lie), and many more were introduced in the Philippine working vocabulary. Although
the formal inclusion of such words to the corpus of Filipino language is still doubtful, it would
not be surprising if in the future, these linguistic structures are printed on Filipino dictionaries,
as these are continuously being used in the streets, in the mass media, and in many
social circles. Their use and predominance are probably inescapable, even when
some purists and conservatives are not keen on using such language.
In the past, one of the strongest and most creative linguistic features that emerged in the
Philippines is word reversal, where people reverse the way words are uttered. It was originally
intended to be a convenient way to hide meanings within a clique or social circle as if it were a
code, but its massive popularity prompted its proliferation. Primary examples are "repapips"
(pare, or friends), "ermats" (mater, or mother), "erpats" (pater or father), "yeko" (okey or okay),
"yosi" (first and the last syllable of 'SigarilYO' or cigarette), and many more. This was a
