Bikol Grammar Notes form part of a basic Bikol language course. They are to be used as a companion volume to Bikol Text also by Malcolm W. Mintz. Included also in the series for Bikol is a quite comprehensive dictionary which may be used as reference, but separate from a language course. The Bikol materials in turn form a part of a larger series on six other Philippine languages, all developed by the Pacific and Asian Linguistics Institute of the University of Hawaii under a contract with Peace Corps (PCZS-1507). It is the hope of the author of this volume and the editor of the series that many will be encouraged to learn Bikol through these materials. |
