In a letter to UP Baguio Chancellor Priscilla Supnet-Macansantos, Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino Chairman* Ricardo Ma. Duran Nolasco noted that the PLI aims to provide teachers, researchers, students and other participants up-to-the-minute discussions on the burgeoning field of linguistics.
The program is sponsored by the Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino in coordination with the Linguistic Society of the Philippines, Summer Institute of Linguistics-Philippines, Philippine Normal University and, of course, UP.
Registration fee per course: P2,000.00 (exclusive of food and accommodations). Interested? Visit the PLI site for more details.
* Not “President” as previously written. Many thanks to Prof. Mark Felix Albert D. Santiago of UP Diliman for the correction!
