Abstract:
This study has revealed that nouns, adjectives and verbs are partially the same in both rural and urban areas. However, there are few words in Chabacano language that differs in terms of usage in both areas. Moreover, the study has shown that migration due to education, marriage/cross marriage and employment, influence of media (television and radio) and social media are the factors that influenced the variety and lexical variation in Chabacano language in rural and urban areas in Zamboanga City. Also, emigrants could influence the surroundings where informants reside. Lastly, this study revealed that Spanish language has the largest influence in Chabacano language. Based on the findings of this study, the following conclusions were formed: that Chabacano language is just like other languages in the Philippines which are subjected to variations such as Filipino language. Language variations which are featured are results of demographic factors such as geographical differences of speakers, although some words still remain in rural and urban areas, the data shows that more lexical words remain concentrated in the rural area of Zamboanga City. The existence of variation in Chabacano language results in having many languages spoken in their respective places which have a great influence on the fact that they have different words that sometimes come from other languages spoken by other communities. The use of other languages due to dwelling of other tribes is a major contributor to the variety and lexical variation of the Chabacano language.
