Abstract:

This research compares the phonological, morphological, lexical, and syntactic features of the Kankanaey dialect in Barangay Rogus, Cauayan City, Isabela, and Barangay Cambaly, Bagulin, La Union. The study found similarities and differences in the location of stress in certain words, the use of prefixes to derive verbs and adverbs, and the vocabulary used in each dialect. However, both dialects share the same syntactic structure. These findings contribute to the understanding of dialectal variations in the Kankanaey language and highlight the impact of geographical and social factors on language evolution.
