Previous grammars of Cebuano have generally described the language
in formal terms without much attention paid on actual usage. To
fill this gap, this functional reference grammar of Cebuano based
on the actual spoken language departs from the traditional emphasis
on phonological, morphological, and phrasal description employed in
most previous and even in recent reference grammars and conducts
analyses at the clausal and discourse levels to better reflect the
forms and functions of the language in actual use. It also
describes recent research findings on Cebuano grammar, especially
repair organization and grammatical constituency, transitivity,
reference tracking, and particles and discourse marking, as these
constitute a very important part of the grammar of Cebuano. This
reference grammar is useful to linguists, as well as to native
speakers and students of Cebuano alike. For linguists, the rich
data provide material for linguistic comparisons. For native
speakers, this reference provides another perspective for
appreciating their mother tongue. For students, the examples and
explanations provide the situations and contexts for proper use of
the language.
