General note ABSTRACT Thesis Title: The Major Major: The Functions and Ideologies of Philippine English in the Language Use of the Binibinis Author: Adviser: Blesyl Mae U. Acebes Asst. Prof. Carlo D. De Dios Women are inevitably the focus in the discourse of beauty like in the world of beauty contests. Beauty pageants have long been a part of every culture and have evolved into fields of cultural production, with beauty contestants serving as symbolic representations of collective cultural identities. These identities are the result of this phenomenon, which has resulted in various ideologies revolving in the arena of beauty pageants. In this light, this study analyzed the language use of the Binibinis in the final round of Binibining Pilipinas using the language function theory of Jakobson (1960) and alternative development theory of John Friedman (1992). This study examined how the communication takes place between the Addresser and Addressee, how language is used symbolically, how utterances reveal underlying power relationships, and how women empowerment through the use of Philippine English is promoted. The results revealed that among language functions that are present in the language use of the Binibinis (emotive, conative, phatic and poetic), conative has the highest frequency since the Binibinis address certain social issues and influence the audience to do something. Also, through their language use, Binibinis addressed relevant issues about women in the Philippines such as discrimination on Filipino women in workplaces, diserimination on Filipino women in politics and leadership, women being sexualized and objectified, and violence against women. Moreover, the analysis on the features of Philippine English in the stage of Binibining Pilipinas zeroed in grammar (syntactic structure) and sounds (phonological analysis).
