This is the catalogue of the books I have collected on Tagalog and the Philippines since 1978.

Tagalog words are, or are based on, two-syllable or three-syllable stems. These disyllabic or trisyllabic items are in their turn based on monosyllabic roots. For instance, the following terms seem to be based on the root ¿kad "foot": lákad "walk", lakád "bare-footed", *kadkád ¿ kaladkád "drag, shuffle", *ka-dag ¿ karág "heavy footstep", síkad "kick", singkád "in one jump" (e.g. santaóñg singkád "a full year"), takád "base, foundation" ¿ *t-ay...

While English is the official language of the Philippines, Tagalog (Tagálog) has been its national language since 1937, and as such is called Filipino in Spanish and English, but Pilipíno in Tagalog because the phone [f] does not exist in this language. Tagalog is an Austronesian language of the VSO type, whose main syntactic feature is focalization, whereby one of the arguments of the verb is selected as the focus of the clause, which determi...

Although reserved for adults, because some examples are inevitably pornographic, this monograph is a serious study of the Tagalog lexicon concerning sex, genitals, reproduction, eroticism and love. The bulk is taken from the earliest Tagalog dictionaries by Spanish clerics (San Buenaventura 1613, Noceda & San Lucar 1754, 1860), whereas slang terms come from modern research and publications available on the internet. The book begins with a desc...

Spiffies and Loonies is a situational comedy developed into 88 episodes. It departs from the typical ones, in which the plot hinges on the emotional and irrational decisions made by the lead characters. The opposite happens here. First of all, Brad and Dolly meet, fall in love and marry. To make things worse, they become rich after a few episodes. They are therefore geared to lead the eventless life of the happy few. Fortunately they are surro...

This book is the list of printed documents I have collected about the Philippines in general and the Tagalog language in particular. The entries are followed by an index of the themes involved.

Cummings is recruited at 18 by the C.I.A. to pose as a Frenchman at the University of Burgundy in Dijon, France, under the funny name of Anatole Hildephonse Leroy.

This is a study of the coinages propounded for the development of Tagalog / Pilipino / Filipino in the scientific fields and the humanities.

When the Spaniards conquered the Philippines (Cebu 1565, Manila 1571), they noticed several of its nations had a writing system of their own, called Bayb?yin in Tagalog. It was a king of short-hand that did not make it possible to record closing consonants, thus i-lu in Bayb?yin could represent ?-log "river", i-l?ng "nose" or it-l?g "egg", so much so that, while easy to write, it was difficult to read. Because of this shortcoming, it gave way ...

Ce livre est le rapport romancé de voyages aux Philippines attribué au personnage de Quentin Cumber, surnommé Cucumber "Concombre". C'est aussi une satire des milieux français de la recherche en sciences humaines, teintée d'un hommage respectueux à ces universitaires qui travaillent sur des sujets difficiles dans des conditions mesquines. De Quentin Cumber, on pourrait dire qu'il ne savait pas où il allait, néanmoins il y est allé quand même e...

Ce troisième volume révèle, qu'en vieillissant, Quentin Cumber faisait de moins en moins de rêves et avait de plus en plus de mal pour se remémorer le détail de ceux dont il lui restait quelques vagues souvenirs.

Ce deuxième volume raconte sans retenue ce que Quentin Cumber a vécu dans ses rêves du 2 janvier 1997 au 22 octobre 2002. Le lecteur y trouvera des aventures assez curieuses, mais pas plus extraordinaires que dans le précédent volume. Des personnalités interviennent encore dans le quotidien onirique et sont l'occasion pour l'auteur de faire des réflexions hors de propos qui révèlent ses sentiments quant à l'état du monde, qu'il subit impuissan...

This book is a provisional essay, followed by a vocabulary and an index, on the Tagalogs? world view in the Sixteenth Century. It is mainly based on the entries of the earliest dictionaries of the Tagalog language. These were written by Spanish lexicographers about half-a-century after the conquest of the Philippines (Cebu 1565, Manila 1571). Additional data are drawn from Spanish chronicles. Many of the recorded beliefs and customs were alrea...

Le tagal (Tagálog) est depuis 1937 la langue nationale des Philippines sous le nom de philippin (Pilipíno en tagal, Filipíno dans la constitution rédigée en anglais). C'est une langue austronésienne du type VSO qui s'écrit en caractères latins et qui a une littérature. Sa grammaire est très différente de celle du français et nécessite donc une approche appropriée qui fait appel à des concepts nouveaux ou peu connus tels que ceux de duplicande,...
