Verb Phrase Architecture of Binukid Language

Through the years, I learned to love linguistics and valued the importance of language in our daily lives. There is something special in every language. No wonder that this book "Verb Phrase Architecture of Binukid Language" was written. Binukid language is the language spoken by the indigenous people in the Philippines specifically the Higaonon, Talaandig, and Bukidnon in the province of Bukidnon and in the province of Agusan del Sur and Cotabato that are near the boundaries with the Bukidnon Province (Saldua, 2011). I want to help in the preservation of this language despite the strong influx of modernization and change that the tribes are experiencing. The information subsequent from this book would greatly benefit the speakers of the Binukid language, language teachers and students, linguists, future researchers, and translators. This book will arouse the interest of future researchers to do parallel researches that will help not only in the promotion and popularization but also strengthening and enhancing the Binukid language and all other languages in the world.
