"abstract": "Pronouns are one of the universal components of language and they provide information on the morphosyntactic characteristics of any languages such as Philippine languages. Past researches show various analyses on the morphosyntax of PLs, a recent typological study claims that Philippine languages (PLs) are ergative. Another study shows a similar claim; however, this study utilizes the pronominal systems of major Philippine languages and uses an ergative-absolutive framework. This research examines the pronouns of Southern Alta language. It aims to contribute in the typological studies of pronominal systems of Negrito and Non-negrito languages. This study employs an ergative-absolutive framework. The initial result shows that the pronominal systems of the Southern Alta language consist of absolutive, ergative, oblique, and genitive pronouns. The ergativeabsolutive framework unravels the morphosyntax of the pronominal system of Southern Alta. The framework helps describe the functions and characteristic of the different sets of pronouns. The study also reveals linguistic phenomena such as inclusivity/exclusivity, first person dual pronouns, homomorphy, cliticization, hierarchy, person-deixis interface and portmanteau pronouns. In conclusion, the ergative-absolutive framework fits the morphosyntactic analysis of the Southern Alta language. This study also suggests to examine the clausal construction including the noun phrases (NPs) of Southern Alta.",

"text": "The Philippines has over 150 languages (Reid, 2013, pp. 330-331) . This large inventory excludes the Sama varieties spoken in the Sulu Archipelago and the South Mindanao languages. Although these varieties are spoken within the Republic of the Philippines; they differ morphosyntactically from other Philippine languages and are generally not included in generalizations about Philippine languages (Himmelmann, 2005, p. 111) . However, Reid (2013) made a distinction between the original settlers and migrants of pre-colonial Philippines. They are the Negritos and non-Negritos, respectively. Although both groups spoke Austronesian languages, the former was non-Austronesian not until the first Austronesian inmigrant the Negritos came in contact 5,000 years ago while the latter groups are the Austronesianspeaking peoples in the Philippines. Reid and Liao (2004, p. 435 ) conducted a typological study of the syntax of most Philippine languages and claim that Philippine languages are ergative. In support to the previous claim, Dita (2011) conducted a typological study anchored on ergative-absolutive framework by examining the pronominal systems of most of the major languages of the Philippines.",

"text": "Dita (Dita, 2011, p . 1) explains that pronominals are a universal component of human languages and are considered basic vocabulary of any given language. In additon, she explains that personal pronouns are generally closed-class and are unaffected by borrowing or code-switching (Dita, 2011) . Pronouns exist together with other closedclass words such as prepositions, articles and conjunctions. Unlike open-class categories (e.g. verbs and nouns), pronouns do not change over time, and they signal grammatical relationships between the verb and the subject or object of a clause. The pronominal system of a language is one of the key components to uncover the morphosyntactic structure and properties of the languages, not to mention other linguistic features that may come along with the analysis. She also explains that this new analysis will provide ample understanding on the mophosyntax of many languages in the Philippines (Dita, 2010) .",

"text": "Past studies on the pronominal systems of Negrito and non-Negrito languages focus on reconstructions such as word lists and phonologies (Reid, 1971) , Northern Cordilleran subgroup (Tharp, 1974) , Arta (Reid, 1989) , Alta languages (Reid, 1991) , Central Cagayan Agta (Liao, 2005) and Umiray Dumaget (Lobel, 2013) . Other topics include deictics (MacFarland, 2006) , reference grammar (Headland & Healey, 1974) , supplementary texts (Miller & Miller, 1991) . This study aims to contribute in the typological study of the pronominal system of Negrito and Non-negrito languages in the Philippines. Dita (2011) explains that early studies on Tagalog language (Bloomfield, 1917) utilized the nominative-accusative distinction and has then dominated the literature on PL for many years. She further explains other analyses have emerged such as active-stative analysis (Drossard, 1994) ; the fluid voice analysis (Shibatani, 1999) ; the hybrid analysis (Machlachlan 1996) , and the precategorial symmetrical voice analysis (Foley, 1998) . But many of the mophosyntactic analysis of Philippine languages remain unclear. However, ergativeabsolutive analysis that came about in the 1980s with the works of Payne (1982) and Starosa (1986) and, Gerdts (1988) show viable results.",

"text": "One of the studies that introduces ergativeabsolutive framework is the study of Dixon (1972) on Dyirbal language. This framework is a departure from the nominative-accusative framework that has dominated the early studies of world\"s languages such as the Indo-European languages. It is, thus congruent to the fact that about a quarter of the world\"s languages have this unique casemarking. Dita (2011) compares the nominativeaccusative and ergative-absolutive analyses. She illustrates the analysis labeled as Figure 1 . Figure 1 shows two analysis, the one in the left is the ergative-absolutive alignment and on the right is the nominative-accusative alignment. The first row is labeled as A (agent) and O (patient), and they are core arguments of a canonical transitive agent (A) and object (O). The second row with only one argument is marked as S (subject). The object of the transitive clause (or the patient) and the sole argument of an intransitive clause (or the subject) in second row are treated alike, that is, they both receive absolutive case-marks. While on the right shows that the agent of a transitive clause and the subject of an intransitive clause are treated alike, thereby receiving the same case-marks. Dita (2010) simplifies, \"if S=A, then the language belongs to the nominative-accusative type, and if S=O, it belongs to the ergative-absolutive type\".",

The columns show person, number, and categories. Below the categories specify the subsets. Person refers to the speaker or 1st person, addressee or 2nd person, and the 3rd person \"is some person or thing which is neither speaker nor addressee\" (Dixon, 2010, p. 190) while number consists of uppercase S (singular), P (plural), and D (dual). Like other pronominal systems of Philippine languages such as Ilocano, Ibanag or Tagalog, the first person singular has exclusive (does not include the addressee) and inclusive (includes the addressee) forms. They are labeled above as 1PE for first person exclusive and 1PI for first person inclusive. The case system consists of four. They are absolutives (ABS), ergatives (ERG), obliques (OBL), and genitives(GEN) 5 .",

The former is labeled ERG as agent of a transitive clause while the latter is labeled GEN as the possessor of a possessive construction. Sentence 4 shows that first person ko and second person yo pronouns. First person pronoun ko precedes a verb while the second person yo precedes a noun. The first pronoun functions as a subject and as agent of the transitive clause while the second pronoun yo functions as genitive. The genitive yo modifies the possessum, lahi; this distinguishes second pronoun yo as having a possessorpossessum relationship. A similar case in Sentence (5), second person mo also precedes a verb while first person ko precedes a verbal inflection or a nominal.

It is with this morphological synonymity that prompted some Philippinists to use the label GEN to both ergative and genitive pronouns. She argues that these items should not receive similar treatment. Again to distinguish the two, PL genitives are generally postnominals whereas ergatives are postverbals (Dita, 2011) .
