| Abstract | The Sinama languages are spoken mostly in the Sulu Archipelago, in the Philippines, in Sabah, Malaysia. and in Eastern Indonesia. These languages are also known as 'Bajauâ or 'Sama-bajau, particularly in linguistics literature. As such, the Bajau, also known as the Sama, are a culturally and linguistically diverse people who live primarily in the southern- central Philippines and in eastern regions of Indonesia and Malaysia. We interviewed women of Bajau community to in'â¢estigate the morphology of Binajau- Tambacan, spoken in Barangay Tambacan, iligan City. J f e divided the morphological analysis into two parts; identifying morphemes and investigating morphological processes. We classify the Sinama dialect of Binajau Tambacan. The data set contains 195 Binajau Tambacan morphemes, which including 138 lexical morphemes, 20 grammatical/functional morphemes, and seven bound morphemes. The findings indicate that a variety of morphological processes appear in the Binajau Tambacan. These are: affixations, reduplication, borrowing, and indigenization. Furthermore, the results also indicate that Binajau Tambacan spoken by the Bajau Women has the highest similarity to Central Sinama, at 82%. This lends credence to the notion that it is most likely classified as Central Sinama. |
