Philippine English

Ariane Macalinga Borlongan’s education and experience across the world have inspired him to passionately work with English speakers in non-Anglo-American contexts. As a sociolinguist, he has analyzed variation, change, and standardization across Englishes. He earned his Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics at age 23 via a competitive accelerated program in De La Salle University (Manila, the Philippines) and is presently Associate Professor of Sociolinguistics at the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies (Japan).
