A. Introduction Language is very important in our life. It is used to express our thoughts and ideas to communicate with others. In this modern era, language changes constantly. The language that we use today is getting wider and wider. Nowadays, we use technology like cellphones and computers to convey our messages and through these, people are learning on how to cope up and change the way they convey their thoughts and ideas in different forms. Indeed, English proficiency is one of the important things that we need to practice. The proper usage of both Filipino and English language is one of the important aspects of Philippine education. Correct grammar, syntax and pronunciation are the main concerns of improving our language proficiency to maintain an effective communication locally and internationally, but due to the continuous development of language, the emergence of Jejemon words became a phenomenon in the Philippines especially on...

...The Effects in Language Proficiency of Being A Jejemon Chapter I Introduction According to The Philippine Daily Inquirer and Urban Dictinoary, a Jejemon belongs to a new breed of hipster who have not only developed their own fashion and stereotype, but also subverted the English language to the point of incomprehensibility. This change in language often results in general confusion between Jejemons and other people who are used to normal English or Filipino. In a society where misunderstandings are commonplace, the effects of being a Jejemon on spelling and grammar have an important role in basic communication. Nevertheless, individual differences must be considered when determining whether Jejemons affect communication or not. Statement of the problem The researchers’ purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of being a Jejemon in their spelling and grammar with respect to: 1. Age 2. Hours spent in social media 3. Filipino & English language These so-called Jejemons might be reverted to normal by limiting their usage of the Internet or social medias, cellphones and other gadgets, and by letting them read proper textbooks or literature-related works either English or Filipino for them to be corrected and to take them away from their own style of writing. The researchers would like to know how many Jejemons are now present, who are they, what are their personal backgrounds, why they switched onto this from a normal person, and how are they...

...THE STATUS OF JEJEMON LANGUAGE: IT’S IMPACT TO ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF THE LEARNERS INTRODUCTION The jejemon phenomenon has stirred emotions and raging debates. And whether it is a menace to language or the wellspring of youthful creativity, it pays to take a moment or two of objective reflection before simply declaring it as just another nuisance that must be stamped out. The jejemon culture spreads rapidly bringing out both good and bad reactions in the educational setting. As a new language that is made up of mostly symbols and phonetics, it alarmed the Department of Education in the Philippines. Mona Valisno, a representative of DepEd told parents to keep their kids from falling into the Jejemontrap before they forget how to spell the actual words in English or Filipino. As a conclusion to this remark on jejemon, the issue became the center of educational debate especially in the secondary education particularly the public schools in the Philippines. The term jejemon is derived from “jejeje” and Pokemon. “Jejeje” is the linguistic representation of laughter in Spanish. The “jejeje” variant is preferred among Jejemons as they use it in their text messges rather than the typical “hehehe” variant. The”mon” in Jejemon is borrowed from Pokemon. According to The Philippine Daily Inquirer and Urban Dictinoary, a Jejemon belongs to a new breed of hipster who have not only developed their own fashion and stereotype, but also subverted the English language to the point of incomprehensibility...

...HISTORY OF LANGUAGE Language is a set of symbols of communication and the elements used to manipulate them. It is one of the most important innovations of men. Language can be used in different ways for different purposes. But mostly, its primary use is for communication. Language was considered to have a “life cycle” and to develop according to evolutionary laws. In addition, it was believed that language, like the human animal, has a “genealogical tree” –that is, that each language can be traced back to a common ancestor.” Ethnologue organization, the most extensive catalog of the world’s languages, presented a detailed classified list which currently includes 6,809 distinct languages. Although there are many languages, these are not uniformly distributed around the world. Some places are more diverse in terms of distribution of languages. According to Stephen Anderson (YEAR) of the Linguistic Society of America (LSA), out of Ethnologue’s 6,809, for instance, only 230 are spoken in Europe, while 2,197 are spoken in Asia. Among these 2,197 languages in Asia, 171 are spoken in the Philippines. Associated with language are the different systems of writing in the past. Hieroglyphics and cuneiform are some of them. But here in our country, alibata is the primitive form of writing. It is also known as baybayin which literally means “to spell.” It is used even before the Spaniards conquered our country. There are many languages which influenced our official language in the...

...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...

...Swardspeak Language to the Filipino Society INTRODUCTION In the Philippines, the gay community has their own unique slang called swardspeak. It is the “gay lingo” derived from English and Tagalog (one of the languages spoken in the Republic of the Philippines) as well as other languages and dialects in the Philippines, such as Cebuano, Waray, Bicolano and also the “bekimon” is a colloquial word for "gay") took off from the growing popularity of the jejemon subculture, which refers to those who deliberately exaggerate ordinary words by adding or subtracting letters, or by using a mixture of upper-case and lower-case letters, in written communication.. These dialects are rich sources of several words and phrases that the gay community in the Philippines incorporated in their own dynamic language. The word “sward,” which is defined in the dictionary as turf, is a Filipino slang meaning a male homosexual. Swardspeak as it is more popularly known in the Philippines also incorporates words from Spanish and Japanese. Names of celebrities and politicians, both local and international, plus trademark brands are used in this homosexual slang. Names, brand names, words and phrases are all given new meanings in swardspeak. It is a word coined by the 1970s movie critic and columnist, Nestor U. Torre. Most gay slang, gay lingo, gay speak or gay languages arose as a form of anti-languages. Anti-languages are usually developed by marginalized communities as a secret language. Under an oppressive...

...for learners of the language. With this definition, this paper will try to compare the helpfulness of two pedagogical grammars by describing the features of transitivity of verbs and passive voice. However, with the emergence of the jejemon languages, educational authorities are trying to convey its effect on the students. According to UrbanDictionary.Com, it is anyone with a low tolerance for correct punctuation, syntax and grammar. This definition is limited to the linguistic style of Jejemons. But in reality, Jejemon is a new breed of hipsters who have developed not only their own language and written text but also their own sub-culture and fashion. For brevity, I will limit this article to Jejemon language, which for lack of grammatical “canon” on how to call it, I will call it the “Jejenese” and their alphabet, “Jejebet. The Jejenese is not just confined to Pinoy Jejemons. Just before I wrote this, I played “Warcraft” and found a European opponent who enjoys typing “jejejeje” in a very wide context, much to my disdain as he sabotages my online quests. Another group of foreign Jejemons, although their Jejemonism seems so trivial to actually classify them as Jejemons, are the Thais who type “hahaha” this way: “5555.” You will see a lot of these in your Thai friend’s Facebook status messages. Since, the number 5 translates to “ha” in Thai, as explained by my friend Pakorn Dokmai. I’m sure many of you have personal encounters with other foreign Jejemons, be in Manila or abroad...

...“The impact of Jejemon language to the academic subjects of grade 7 students in Diosdado Macapagal National High School” I. INTRODUCTION a. Background of the Study Nowadays, youth, especially students are fond of using cyber gadgets. In fact, they find it more interesting than reading their books for they can express their feelings in a unique and fun way. They can formulate their own language. They can mix words using letters and numbers, punctuation marks and many more without violating any rules. People who use those kinds of words are called “Jejemonsters”. There is a need for it to study because of the rampant usage of Jejemon Language even inside the classroom. This research focuses to the grade & students of Diosdado National High School regarding the impact of Jejemon Language to their academic subjects. The survey was conducted to a specific having 25 males and 25 females. b. Statement of Purpose This research was conducted to enhance the minds o the youth, especially students about the negative effects of Jejemon in their studies as well as to make them realize that using these kind of language is not accepted in the academic papers. Jejemon language seemed to be a virus that spreads only in the four corners of the room but also in our society. Due to the rampant usage of this language, a lot of students seemed to forget the correct spelling of words. It subverts the English language to the point of incomprehensibility. c.

Jejemons don't want this so they made their words longer.[3] Most Jejemons are poor.[1][2][5] People who are Jejemons are described based on levels.
