Bisayan grammar and notes on Bisayan rhetoric and poetics and Filipino dialectology

The work presents an elementary grammar of the Bisayan dialect spoken in Samar and parts of Leyte, assembling principles of word formation and sentence construction. It outlines parts of speech, noun classes and morphological processes, with detailed rules for diminutives, figuratives, verbal derivatives, and use of prefixes and suffixes. Sections explain verb forms and syntax, and append notes on rhetoric, poetics, and dialectal variations. Intended as an instructional reference for learners and teachers, it emphasizes practical examples and comparative patterns rather than exhaustive theoretical treatment.
