A Description of Sebuano English Cyberlogues

This paper describes the Sebuano English cyberlogues in cybersocieties, a code mixing phenomenon in Facebook and Youtube. Code mixing is an unconscious, extensive and regular transfer of linguistic units from one language or more to another, below the level of a sentence by a large population of bilingual and monolingual speakers. More particularly, this paper describes the patterns of code mixing, as well as the morphophonemic and morphosyntactic processes involved in the mixing process as reflected in the cyberlogues in the selected cybersocieties. Findings of this study will fill a research gap related to code mixing in written text and will partially indicate the Sebuano’s current lexicon. The data were gathered through documentation of cyberlogues in three Cebuano Facebook groups and one Youtube channel. The data were examined through the Relative Congruence Methodology adapted by the researcher from Rasul’s 2006 Context of Situation and other existing approaches in code mixing to provide an analysis of the patterns of code mixing from word to clausal levels and to describe the orthographical, morphological and syntactic processes involved in the mixing process. The results show that code mixing is manifested by insertion, nativization and miscellaneous attachments of the cooperating language to the accommodating language.
