...The Effects of “Gay Lingo” on Memory Retrieval of Selected Adolescents Introduction: “Bekimon” is one of a manifestation of a culture, since “Bekimon” is a language used by locals. The younger generation adapts it thru their ate’s and kuya’s who speak “Bekimon” or say some “Bekimon” terms. The Gay Lingo is a language dedicated for the homosexual people to have their own language and to develop their culture to become one of the respected ones and it was not just made for fun. Gay Lingo is a spectrum of culture varying from different city, province, region or country thus, Gay Lingo made significant breakthrough to the LGBT community in the world, this is their form of conformity or acceptance to the society since not all who speak the “gay lingo” are part of the LGBT community. By studying the effects of using “Bekimon” we can see how it will affect the memory retrieval of the students. Some of the people misunderstood some words or even the people who uses the gay lingo, because some says it can ruin the culture and the main language of the Filipinos but actually it’s the other way around because some terms are now frequently used than before. The definition of “Bekimon” is: (Noun) (Expression) Defines gays or girly gays that speaks “Gay Lingo” or gay language in a different way or more enhanced way. (2014 Farlex, Inc.) Although most of the older people are not yet open to homosexuality, the younger generation are now much aware and much open to homosexuality making...

...Topic: Plagiarism Title: Student Plagiarism and the use of a Plagiarism Detection Tool by Community College Faculty Rationale This study sought to better inform community college administrators and faculty regarding possible factors that contribute to higher levels of student plagiarism and to suggest appropriate preventative or responsive interventions. The specific purpose of the study was to investigate a set of faculty related factors that may be associated with particular levels of suggestive plagiarism. Suggestive plagiarism is an intentionally chosen term to capture the fact that TII reports on submitted papers only and that may, but not necessarily, infer actual plagiarism. It does not assess a student’s intent or ignorance of the rules of source attribution. This reality of the tool is discussed at greater length later in this study. This study guide aims to help you to understand what plagiarism is in the context of academic work, and offers guidance on how to avoid it. Introduction Plagiarism, and the larger issue of ownership of the written word, is not as easy to define as it might first appear. Many writers on the topic of plagiarism and academic honesty have attempted to define the term. It comes as no surprise that the use of the Internet is on the rise and that the high school and college students of today see it as an integral and vital tool for their learning. The combination of the ubiquitous nature of computers, the internet and other information technologies...

...The “Amazing Warriors”in the University of the East – Caloocam Campus And their use of gay lingo BY: DADOR, DIANE DE GUZMAN, PAULA DIANZON, RAFAEL EVANGELISTA, SHEENA ORBE, LOVELY PABLO, RUSHMON KYLE RAMOS, KRIZZIA ANNE PROF. PATRICIO LAZARO 2013 CHAPTER I Introduction The term Gay has been used loosely to include homosexuals, bisexuals, transsexuals, cross dressers, and effeminate men. Filipino gays are mostly stereotyped as effeminate, cross dressers, hair dressers, camp and ridiculed. Bakla or bading, are derogatory Filipino word gay, is commonly used. Tibo or tomboy has a similar function, and refers to lesbians, usually of the butch and masculine type. A more benign slang word for gay men is billy boy. For Filipino gays, the Tagalog phrase “paglaladlad ng kapa” (literally means “unfurling of the cape”) refers to the coming-out process. Although gays and lesbians are generally tolerated within Philippine society, there still widespread cases of discrimination. Sward speak is a vernacular language derived from Englog (English-Tagalog) and is used by a number of gay Filipinos. It uses elements from Tagalog, English, and Spanish and some are from Niponggo, as well as celebrities’ names and signature brands, giving them new meanings in the context of this unique language. Background of the Study Different research studies were made and yet there are many different results. Previous research has found numerous benefits to listening to music before performing...

...Gay A: “Hoy Bakla, me Anda ka ba today?” Gay B: “Naku, Washington Sycip, Purita ang lolah mo ngayon.” Gay A: “Rampa sana aketch. Go Bingo ka mare?” Gay B: “Ay, Wishing!, Pagoda Cold Wave Lotion aketch!” Everyone who understood what these gays are saying, raise your hands! It is true. Gay lingo has really gone a long way since the start of the 21 st century. Thepropagation of this language and form of communication is unstoppable. A once not- so- secretlanguage used solely by gays is now infiltrating both worlds of the media and the academe. Itsexclusivity to gays, much to our diva’s dismay, is now broken and gay lingo is being used by every girl, closet gays, young and old, and even straight guys in town. Almost everyone could speak and use this once hard to break “code of communication”. Admitit that everyone could not escape the alluring and colorful language used by gays. Funny, witty,creative yet irreverent all at the same time was how people describe this language (Cayabyab). But before we continue discussing this language, let us first identify who and what are gays in thePhilippine society: Filipino gays are mostly stereotyped as effeminate, cross dressers, hair dressers, campand ridiculed. “Bakla”, a derogatory Filipino word for gay, is commonly used… A more benignslang word for gay men is billy boy. For Filipino gays, the Tagalog phrase “paglaladlad ng kapa”(literally means “unfurling the cape”) refers to the coming out process. Although...

...Abstract Gay language which is sometimes called as “gay lingo” has achieved a high degree of acceptance in these recent years in the Philippines. Both gays and non-gays can be heard uttering gay expressions. It’s also spreading widely in our country. The propagation of this language and form of communication is unstoppable. But the question is “What is the main reason for using this kind of language?” This study will try to know about the origin, variables, theories and the effect of this gay lingo in Filipinos. We will interrogate people who use gay language and know from them the sense of dealing with it. Introduction Bakla and Binabae are familiar words in Filipino street-talk. But what about baklush, badaf, baklers? These are just some of confusing words for the average of Filipino speakers. These are terms heard “only in the Philippines”. Gays have proven themselves in our society and they have exceled in several professions. Though, there are still widespread cases of discrimination. Looking back, gays are always facing unfair treatment of other people. They have become victims of condemnation—in school, office, churches and everywhere and these have been their daily battlegrounds. Because of this discrimination, it paved way to the creation of a code of communication which only gays could use; but because of its daily usage on parlors, comedy bars, sidewalks and other places where gays proliferate, people’s curiosity arose on what these words meant, eventually...

...Analysis of the Gay Lingo: A Case Study CHAPTER ONE Introduction Philippines, being one of the most friendly countries towards homosexuality according to a survey “The Global Divide on Homosexuality” conducted by the US-based Pew Research Center last 2013. Being a country that widely accepts homosexuality, a lot of straight men and women that are homosexuals are loud and out. Although the LGBT (lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders) are now accepted by the Philippine society, they have come a long way of struggle to gain their freedom and rights. Gays in particular, have been a great subject to social discrimination, taunts, ridicules and mockery. One of the ways the discriminated gays thought of was to come up with a code that only they will understand in order to hide from the prying eyes and ears of the society they move in. But because of the everyday and frequent use of the code in parlors, sidewalks, comedy bars and other places where gays frequently hang out. Since 1960’s where an evolution of the Filipino language sprouted called Taglish or Tagalog-English where one of its steady sources has been gay language, which has generated so many words and idioms that have been inserted in the mainstream of the everyday Taglish. As the gays started to be accepted by the society, the language grew gradually adding more and more terms from different sources. Gay language has also influenced the way the society converses and is empowering the gays more, giving them...

... many youth are engaged in different languages. Some of us have experienced being near to a group of gays who were talking in quite a different language and you were surprised that you could understand some of the words they were saying. That language is what we called gay lingo but in 1970s, it is Swardspeak. Here in the Philippines, they called the term, "Swardspeak" or "Gay Lingo". Nowadays it is one of the most prominent kinds of language that most of the youth rather people engaged to. It consists of mainly Filipino language, but also uses elements of English, Spanish and other Asian or foreign words (especially Japanese), gays make uses of words that are derived from other words and try to make the words colorful and enticingly comical. It is also their way of speaking and their own mannerisms that make it different to those of the females. Because of the spread of Swardspeak, many Filipino try to engange themselves and makes use of it. . Like any other languages, Swardspeak is also dynamic, it evolves easily. According to Reinerio A. Alba, this commonness of gay words is fascinatingly infectious. II. Background of the study The word "Swardspeak", according to Jose Javier Reyes, was coined by columnist and movie critic Nestor Torre in the 1970s. Reyes himself wrote a book on the subject entitled "Swardspeak: A Preliminary Study". "Sward" is slang for 'gay...

...Ragen Reddick Core English I Professor Joan Rogers 20 October 2015 The Effects of Language Communication is an extremely complex idea, we have many different languages each with their own linguistic touch, yet we are somehow supposed to communicate? An absurd thought. In today’s world language alone alienates people, but what can make a situation worse is the words spoken itself. Some example of how language can effect us, is how learning a language different from the one spoken at home separated a close-knit family. Also, how a single word can have so many different interpretations surrounding it that cause controversy. Language and communicating seem like such simple concepts, but in reality there is so much more to them. Richard Rodriguez shares many experiences he had when learning a new language. At first he was very quiet because could not understand what people were saying or how to respond. He talks about how his father experienced similar trouble when faced with casual English conversation. In fact his father became quiet, just like his son, because of his shame. Rodriguez talks about how his mother became the voice of the family which is unheard of in Spanish culture. An example he gives of how his father’s personality changed when he spoke in Spanish: “his voice would spark, flicker, flare alive with sounds… he conveyed confidence and authority English would never allow him” (Rodriguez 16). This language barrier changed his father’s life forever. Language has...

...http://jejedex.blogspot.com/2010/06/jejemon-history-how-it-all-began.html Jejemon History: How It All Began Several years ago, a lot of the youth joined text messaging clans while others played online MMORPG games like Ragnarok, Flyff, and Gunbound. Some, with the urge to find and get to know people of all ages online, joined in social networks like Friendster and Multiply. At that time, Friendster was in while Facebook was not what it turned out to be at present. Due to the necessity of having to relay a message abruptly so as not to be delayed in action (while playing, texting or commenting), they tried to make messages they type really short to an extent that every word was internally altered using numbers to creatively displace letters that would still make the words readable. Of course, Jejemonism was not that intense and obvious at that time. It took a longer time before the more educated ones realized that something's not right and one thing has to be done - to abide by what is being conventionally dictated by society. At that moment, many of the younger generation became adapted to this kind of typing style for they really thought that it was somehow cool, manageable and widely accepted within their age range. It was the new hip at that time, but as it grew out of nowhere, concerned academic people took this as a threat to the educational standards. In time, Jejemonism became the latest source of boiling social debates. As time propelled and confusion arose, people...

...The True Science in Politics Benjamin Bishin's subconstituency theory of representation is supported with the empirical evidence that Larry Bartels provides from his book, of which Bartels evaluates social equality and its relationship with the American government, to Bishin's observations. Ideas, such as hidden minority rule, activism, visibility's true impact on the average voter, and ideological and social groups, that Bishin describes are supported by Bartels' findings; these findings being senators responsiveness to income groups, citizen's knowledge, and voting actions and more. Bishin's book, Tyranny of the Minority, develops the Subconstituency theory of representation that counteracts the leading theory of representation, the Demand Model. Bishin's synopsis of his theory is, “...subconstituency politics merely articulates a phenomenon long described by politicians and observed by journalists...,” (Bishin 13). The phenomenon being that minority held opinion can triumph over a majority held public opinion. However, Bishin shows this phenomenon to hold a deeper dogma in that constituents, for the purpose of reelection, appeal to groups. Bartels' book, Unequal Democracy, attempts to answer a question by Robert Dahl of, “...who actually governs?” (Bartels 1). Bartels' book argues, with a statistical emphasis, that our classed based society is becoming more polarized and unequal by politicians and cyclically exacerbated by voter apathy and actions. These examples...
