“…Dimaculangan and Gustilo's (2018) framework on Word-Formation Processes Framework for 21st Century PE Lexicon is proposed to make a standard framework in building the Philippine English. PE is growing to pass the nativization phase and move forward to endonormative stabilization (Borlongan, 2016; phase 4 in Schneider's (2007) dynamic model of the evolution of postcolonial Englishes. Recognizing the varieties of English promotes awareness of lexical creativity and its relevance in an ESL classroom for both teachers and students.…”

The impact of internet in the 21st century has significantly influenced the variety of English language through the innovations in electronic communication. Human communication became faster, more dynamic, and convenient in the digital world. The profound effect of this change is evident in the idiosyncratic usage of words in the sharing and exchange of information online. This study focuses on the lexical creativity of Internet Philippine English (IPE) neologism or the process of creating new words and its acceptability for English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers. A corpus of 300,000+ words was collected from “When In Manila” blogs from 2017-2019 and processed using AntConc 2 software. Findings showed twenty-three IPE lexical items formed through normal expansion, shortening, coinage, and borrowing based on Dimaculangan and Gustilo’s (2018) framework of word-formation processes in Philippine English. Five of these words were frequently occurring among the different categories of the blogs. Moreover, the words were evaluated by ESL teachers to validate their acceptability vis-a-vis academic Philippine English. Thus, it was revealed that these words are only acceptable in informal and conversational English levels. Further, the pedagogical implications entail reviewing the present curriculum and assess where new changes and developments in PE can be incorporated into academic instruction.

“…In addition, there is much confidence about the progress of PE as regards differentiation and acceptability of the variety. Borlongan, using Schneider's Dynamic Model, maintains that PE is ‘at the dawn of endonormative stabilization’ (Borlongan, ). This argument is supported by his claims that PE has satisfied the conditions of Phase 4 of the Dynamic Model because there is general acceptance of the variety, it has been widely used in literature, and its features have homogenized, making codification possible through dictionaries and reference grammars.…”

In this article, I survey studies about English in the Philippines, many of which have been heavily influenced by the world Englishes paradigm. It was Braj Kachru himself who brought world Englishes to the Philippines in 1996, at a conference in Manila. About a hundred wide-eyed Filipino teachers, who grew up believing that only American English existed, were never the same again. This contribution to a special issue in honor of Braj Kachru is an expression of utang na loob, our debt of gratitude to him for changing the course of English language studies and scholarship in the Philippines.

“… to Philippine English : Bautista () compares usage conditions of the subjunctive in two Asian varieties and finds the prediction confirmed that Singaporean English is more advanced than Philippines English. Borlongan () offers historical and attitudinal evidence to argue that Philippines English has moved into phase 4, and identifies several ‘post‐Event X incidents’ which have contributed to the variety's detachment from that of the mother country.…”

The ongoing expansion and diversification of English, especially in the Expanding Circle, calls for a comparative analysis of these processes and a deepened theoretical understanding of this dynamism. A key question asked in this paper is whether or to what extent the 'Dynamic Model' of the evolution of Postcolonial Englishes is able to explain these processes and can be applied to Extending Circle countries as well. A decade after its first influential publication, reactions to the model are surveyed systematically, including some new applications, modifications, approaches at testing it, and some criticism. Applying the comparative-descriptive framework of this model and some of its constituent components, the progress of English is outlined in China, Korea, and (less broadly) Japan, the ASEAN, Thailand, Namibia, and Rwanda. Furthermore, it is argued that a similar dynamism is driving the widespread emergence of hybrid mixes between local languages and English and phenomena of 'poststructuralist diffusion,' English being adopted by whatever means, in fragments and unconstrained of norm concerns, driven by strongly utilitarian considerations. A tabular summary assessment compares these processes with constituents of the Dynamic Model and finds that despite some similarities it is not well suited to grasp the vibrant developments of the Expanding Circle. Instead, the notion of 'transnational attraction' is defined and proposed as an appropriate conceptual framework.
