Excerpt from Tagalog Texts With Grammatical Analysis, Vol. 1: Texts and Translation In taking phonetic notes on Tagalog I noticed that the pronuncia~ tion of the speaker to whom I was listening, Mr. Alfredo Viola Santiago (at present a student of architectural engineering in the University of Illinois) presented certain features of accentuation not mentioned in the descriptions familiar to me. With the intention of brie¿y describing these features, I took down more extensive notes and asked Mr. Santiago to tell me in Tagalog the stories of The Sun and The Northwind and the Sun, used as models by the International Phonetic Association. The data so obtained showed that the features of accentuation I had observed were in part distinctive (expressive of word-meaning), and, further, that certain other features, which were but imperfectly described in the treatises I knew (so especially the use of the liga appeared in Mr. Santiago 's speech in a regular and intelligible manner. A more extensive study was thus indicated. The results of this study were subject to two obvious limitations. The utterances I had transcribed were either translations or isolated' sentences, and I could not determine to what extent the features of Mr. Santiago 's speech which I had observed were general in Tagalog.
