(Intellectualization of Language)
“An intellectualized language is that language that can be
used for giving and obtaining a complete education in any
field of knowledge from kindergarten to the university and
beyond. An intellectualized language is written, thus
making reading and writing necessary skills. ”

7. Language Replacement and Language Shift
• The replacement of English and the shift to Filipino as the national lingua
franca was easy because the variety of language, a mixture of Filipino, English,
and the local language, known as Taglish did/does not require schooling nor
reading and writing; the rules of acceptability are loose.
• On the other land, the replacement of English by Filipino in the CDs of
language require a high level of education, a mastery of the register or
registers in the domains and sub-domains (areas of specialization).
• In order that Filipino may be intellectualized it must be used in the CDs of
language which means it must replace English. But for Filipino to replace
English, it should be intellectualized. Therein lies the dilemma in the
intellectualization of Filipino.
