General note ABSTRACT Thesis Title: A Sociolinguistic Analysis of Bargirl English in a Red-light District Carina F. Calado Carlo D. De Dios Author Adviser : : This study examined the bargirl English used in the red-light district in Walking Street, Angeles City, Pampanga by analyzing the lexical, syntactic and phonological features present in the language. It also sought to investigate how the Bargirl social identity affects their language and speech and assert their identity. The respondents of the study were ten (10) bargirls who work at Walking Street, Angeles City Pampanga, speak their regional languages (Kapampangan and Visayan), and transact with Western customers. This study used a theoretical framework that is significantly dependent on Vygotsky theory of Social Constructivism (1967), the Lectal framework of Llamzon (1997), and the Sub-varieties of Philippine English of Bautista (1996). It also utilizeda qualitative method and collected data through face-to-face interviews and audio recordings. Findings shows that: ) PE phonology is distinct from GAE phonology in certain ways. It was confirmed that regional language of the Bargirls can affect their English; in this study, the Visayan bargirls occasionally substitute /e/ to //,// to //, and /æ/ to /a/; 2) the familiarity of the PE users with conventional word production mechanisms and their intrinsic linguistic creativity increase word formation mechanisms and result in new vocabularies, as the bargirl produced words yellow feet, soksok, and boom-boom; 3) there are similarities in the syntactic structures of the Bargirl English and ; 4) the social identity of people can affect their language and speech and they assert their identity by using their unique language.
