Summary "Tagalog Texts with Grammatical Analysis" by Leonard Bloomfield is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a linguistic study of the Tagalog language, presenting various texts along with their phonetic transcriptions and grammatical analyses aimed at improving understanding of the language. It focuses on the intricacies of Tagalog pronunciation, syntax, and morphology, providing insight into the linguistic features distinct to this Philippine dialect. The opening of this publication introduces the purpose of the text, explaining the author's initiative to analyze spoken Tagalog through narratives provided by Mr. Alfredo Viola Santiago. In this introductory portion, Bloomfield outlines his linguistic observations, particularly regarding the unique features of accentuation in Santiago's speech, which leads him to explore and document various stories in Tagalog. He emphasizes that these texts are primarily intended for linguistic study rather than as cultural artifacts, indicating the book's academic focus on phonetics and grammar over folklore or literary tradition.
