Abstract

This paper examines the changes that English words undergo when they are borrowed into Sebuano. Borrowed English words may be affixed with Sebuano affixes, compounded, respelled, reanalyzed so that local neologisms result, have their meanings or stresses shifted and re-syllabified. Borrowed English words in Sebuano may also be a mix of Sebuano, English and even Spanish morphemes.
